It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown (1984 TV Short)

The music is good, everything else is forgettable

[4/10 · 25 December 2017]

"It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown" is an American color cartoon from 1984, so this one's over 30 years old already, almost 35 in fact and the mention of one title character makes it obvious that this is another Peanuts television special by Melendez and Schultz. It runs for under 24 minutes, but is probably not among the gang's most known because it is not a holiday special of any kind. But the focus here is also not as much on Snoopy as you might think from the title. There are major segments without Charlie Brown's dog making an impact on the story at all. Early on the parts at the gym and classroom were okay, but not memorable either really. Everything else was completely forgettable with the exception of the audio. The songs you hear in here are pretty much fun, but there isn't really a reason why you shouldn't just listen to a record and do without the video site entirely. Anyway, I may be a bit biased as I am not the very greatest Peanuts fan out there, but I like Snoopy more than most of the others, but still his parts aren't too memorable. And by the way, beagles are among my favorite dogs on the planets and Snoopy looks Nothing like them. Why oh why. So all in all, I am not impressed and wouldn't really recommend checking this one out. Maybe BEP lovers can give it a go as you indeed hear the very young Fergie in here before the age of 10. The Emmys went for the fat cat that year and not for the dog we got here. It may have been the right decision. Flashbeagle gets a thumbs-down from me. Skip it.
