This half-hour Christmas show is one of the truly lovable animated specials in TV history, a status proved by its annual network telecast since 1965. A Charlie Brown Christmas was the first, and best, of a series of programs based on the Charles M. Schulz cartoon strip "Peanuts." Hapless hero Charlie Brown finds himself depressed at Christmastime, searching for the true meaning of the holiday amidst the glitz and commercialism of the modern age. Appointed director of the school holiday pageant, Charlie Brown ventures out with Linus to buy "a great, big, shiny aluminum Christmas tree." Instead they bring back a miserable tree--a real one. A Charlie Brown Christmas shows off the "Peanuts" gang doing what they do best: Lucy is bossy, Snoopy is crazy, Linus is sweet, and Pig Pen is, well, filthy. Instead of using adult actors trying to sound like kids, the production features real children providing the voices, an endearing effect. The jazz music score, composed by Vince Guaraldi, has become a classic in its own right; like so much about this program, it's an unexpected but perfectly right choice. --Robert Horton

 Great memories but disapointing graphics thought it would be better November 12, 2009

I purchased last Christmas Charlie Brown Chritsmas dvd, and thought to purchased this year the blu ray dvd to see the difference in the graphics/images. Well there is no difference at all. Since my blu ray dvd converts regular dvd movie to hd movie, the regular dvd is nearly same clarity as the blu ray dvd. I don't think they can make it better, however it is a big improvement on the color and images, that I can say. But I don't think it's worth to spend of the blu ray dvd thinking it might be better than the regular dvd.
 just 1 peanuts movie!??!! October 31, 2009

Honestly, if you knew about the blu-ray format and the capacity 1 disc has you should be appalled that there isn't the entire peanuts collection on 1 disc. This is such a obvious marketing plot to extort more money out of the consumer. If you buy this disc you are only feeding into that disgraceful behavior. If you don't know, blu-rays can hold more than 10 times the amount of content a DVD can hold. The entire peanuts movie collection can fit on to one blu-ray disc and to seperate them over 10+ discs just takes more money from you to send their fat kids to college. A pox on both your houses.
 Great show, but the glitter slipcover is ridiculous! October 23, 2009

The show is great. I watch it every Christmas with my family and we never get tired of it. But as much as I would love to give this product five stars, I had to knock a star off due to the ridiculous slipcover. The glitter is messssyyyy! Be prepared to wash your hands every time you handle this! I don't know where WB's brains are when they created this slipcover. I feel bad for the people that have to stock this on store shelves. Their hands must get really messy. But other than that, this show is great and it comes with a DVD too. So, I think the $20 is a fair price. Highly recommended so long as you don't mind washing your hands often ;)
 Christmas, Christmas, CHRISTmas! October 23, 2009

This production stands at the top of my list of endearing Christmas classics, and for so many reasons. First of all, it has been around longer than me, so I have been watching this every Christmas for my entire life. But more importantly, I love this because it is one of the few non-Biblical Christmas TV classics that still CLEARLY touches on the true meaning of Christmas. I say buy this now BEFORE they edit it, or completely obliterate it from the planet. In a time when there are so many fighting to have and and all indications of Christ (including the word "Christmas" itself) so blatantly removed from what is now being simply called the "holiday" season, my worst fear is that there will come a day when this treasured gem will no longer be allowed on television for that very reason, or worse, having the "what Christmas is all about" scene just simply edited out.
Blu-ray review October 8, 2009

We all know how we love watching this every year, but is it really worth it to buy the Blu-ray? Well, you don't just get a Blu-ray disc with this release, you also get a second disc that is essentially the remastered SD-DVD that is playable on any standard DVD player. Also, this DVD allows you to download the feature onto your computer/laptop/ipod. So for $20 you get three versions of the film (HD, SD, portable). The picture quality on the Blu-ray is a little better than the remastered DVD, the colors are a little bolder for sure (I'm watching on a professionally calibrated 50" Pioneer Kuro). Also, there is a new 5.1 audio mix that was not on the standard DVD that sounds very engaging.
If you already own the remastered DVD, I wouldn't necessarily rush out and buy this. If you don't have the remastered DVD, it's a must buy because you get the Blu-ray and remastered DVD (and the "free" download) for a halfway decent price.
