Editorial Review:
The struggles of managing a losing baseball team are underscored in this 25-minute film featuring the Peanuts gang, based on the cartoon strip by Charles M. Schulz. Angst-ridden Charlie Brown attempts to motivate his team, while Lucy in right field nettles poor Chuck into a nervous wreck. With their losses mounting, Charlie Brown tries every remedy to score a win--even trading his own dog--yet nothing improves the team's dismal record. Then Chuck orchestrates "the greatest trade in the history of baseball." While this film has the look and feel of earlier Charlie Brown classics, the heart is gone. There is a noticeable difference between this feature and "It's the Pied Piper, Charlie Brown," the last film created under Schulz's supervision. His presence is sorely missed. While winning isn't everything, Schulz would have found a silver lining in the art of losing, or a character redeemed through the process. One plus: smooth jazz accompaniments by David Benoit. (Ages 5 and older) --Lynn Gibson

Rating:  - AWESOME, even for a little Princess....
Our 34 month old daughter LOVES sports, esp. baseball....so, we ordered this for her thinging she would get a kick out of it.....well, she makes her Mother watch it every day, sometimes twice a day....
Rating:  - Peanuts are healthy
Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the gang certainly tell it like it is. A good source for children to see they are not alone "out there". A live and let live example of how to rise above ones failure and success - without drugs, weapons, etc. Good to watch with your children.
Rating: - An unexpected pleasure
A suggestion from Amazon precipitated the purchase. We are unconditionally delighted.
Rating: - Best of the post Schultz era
The immortal "Charlie Brown All Stars" - 5 stars
The new "Lucy Must be Traded" - 4 stars
The mediocre "Spring Training" - 3 stars
Since "All Stars" and "Spring Training" have been around a long time, I'll limit my comments to "Lucy Must be Traded".
This is definetly the best of the post Schultz era so far. It recaptures some of the old magic. The jazzy piano background music is very reminiscent of the glory days.

Rating:  - Peanuts Baseball DVD Has Two Hits And One Error
"Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown" first aired on ABC-TV in 2003 to mixed reviews; it's now available on DVD along with two additional baseball-themed TV specials, and each one is ideal for someone in your family.
"Charlie Brown's All-Stars" was the followup to the highly acclaimed 1965 Christmas special, and it features the same original cast of voice talents. Charles Schulz' script is fast and funny with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. There's also an inspirational scene where Schroeder berates ... Read More
