It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Watching this as an adult left me lacking the same enthusiasm i had for it when i was a kid. But its not made to entertain adults is it. If u critique it with the mindset of an adult of course you will notice everything your 6 year old self (thankfully) failed to see. My advice to other parents is if u grew u watching and enjoyjng this annual classic and you werent traumatized or grow up to be a serial killer by Charlie Brown repeatedly falling for Lucys football trick then dont deprive your kids of the same once a year Halloween cartoon that you faithfully watched year after year until you grew out of it.

A classic. My 3 year old loves it. There are a few instances of physical and verbal “harshness”…I explain to my daughter that things are just pretend and invalidate the negative behaviors.

I didn’t grow up watching this as a child so maybe my lack of nostalgia is what make this so unpalatable to me, but I was so disappointed to have shared this with my 3 and 6 year olds. While not scary, the characters are so rude and mean to each other. I don’t feel this is appropriate for young children.

It’s not the great pumpkin

The movie contains the word stupid and uses the word ‘kill’ in reference to a pumpkin. The friends are unkind to one another as well. It’s surprising this movie is rated for 4 year olds. I highly disagree.

Great characters, well written and keeps the attention of even the young ones.

"I gotta rock" and the Charlie Brown Ghost costume have become popular in our house. My 6yo did the Charlie Brown Ghost last Halloween.
