Watch A Charlie Brown Christmas For Free

Touches You

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

After watching this adorable, animated, feature film (from 1965), yet again, it's so easy to see why it's rated as the second most popular and successful Christmas special, ever, next to Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer, of course.Created by cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" has the entire Peanuts Gang excitedly preparing themselves for the up-coming Holiday Season.As our story opens we find that onion-headed, little boy named Charlie Brown in a very depressed state of mind all because of the way that Christmas has been so over-commercialized these days.Even good, old Snoopy is getting into the act when he decides to decorate his doghouse, all glitter and glitz.I guarantee you - "A Charlie Brown Christmas" (which is all voiced by children and contains no laugh-track) is one of the sweetest movies that you're ever gonna see, no matter what age that you might happen to be.

In the spirit of the holiday, I wanted to watch a little something that is Christmas-themed and is not too long. I had decided to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas, the character still fresh in my mind after watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving at a work luncheon. I've never watched Charlie Brown cartoons growing up, and now that I've seen a couple, they were pretty good.Here, Charlie Brown is dismayed about the materialism he sees his friends and dog Snoopy (he decorates his doghouse with Christmas lights in hopes of winning the best decoration prize) engage in and is feeling depressed during the holiday. His friend Lucy suggests that he become director of the school Christmas pageant and, after doing so, Charlie Brown struggles in getting the cast in order, thus, struggles to learn what the real meaning of Christmas is.It's not a riveting or exciting story with adventures and suspense, but it is a light-hearted and cozy cartoon short that includes a great message about Christmas, amidst all the commercial aspects. The animation wasn't too vibrant but it has character and is nicely drawn.It is a nice little movie for the entire family where, again, we could learn what Christmas means and how it could unite all your loved ones together in harmony.Grade B

I was born about two weeks before this first aired so you could say I have watched this my whole life. I still get a very nostalgic feeling watching this that I just love. It's a permanent part of my life it seems. Me and my wife have two children who are both adults now and they've watched along with me every year and I hope they'll do the same with their own children someday. This will also help me get into the holiday spirit when everything else happening in my life may be pulling me the other way. I'm sure it does the same for many others! I love all of the Charlie Brown specials but this has to be my favorite. Next would be the Great Pumpkin and then the Thanksgiving one. I'm sure these will all be enjoyed until the end of time.

This was one of my personal favorites of the season. The story is about Charlie trying to do something right for a change when he has always been told he's good for nothing. When told to go buy a tree for a pageant at his church, he picks a small tree that is struggling to survive. He doesn't give up on the tree even when all his friends believe the tree is hopeless until he believes that he has killed it by placing one glass orb on it. The only point that bothers me is that sometimes the story becomes a little slow, and the jokes kind of fall a bit flat.The artwork is actually rather good for when it came out and who it portrays. You can almost never go wrong with the classics most times and this is no exception. It doesn't have to be fancy to get the point across that all people or things need is a little love to become something special. Sure there may be a couple little parts that seemed low end, but when you put it all together, it just works.The voices are done really well, and are actually pretty close to what I thought the characters would sound like from reading the comic strips when I was little. From Lucy's know-it-all attitude to Linus' philosophical quotes, each one makes the characters really stand out. Peter Robbins does a excellent job of giving Charlie Brown that wishy-washy town to his voice up till the point that everything goes wrong and giving him the all to familiar 'UGGGGGG' he's known for.
