What's the Story?
In SNOOPY PRESENTS: TO MOM (AND DAD) WITH LOVE, Mother's Day is quickly approaching, and the members of the Peanuts gang are buzzing about how to celebrate their moms. Peppermint Patty is trying to coach the Peanuts football team to a win, but the kids are too distracted by the upcoming holiday. As they head off to make plans, Peppermint Patty becomes dismayed. She's never had a mom and feels isolated by all of the hype around Mother's Day. Should she celebrate her dad, who has always done all of the "mom" things for her? With the help of her friend Marcie, she realizes that Mother's Day is more than just a commercial holiday -- it's a day to spend time with the people you love the most.
Is It Any Good?
This sweet Mother's Day special honors moms while encouraging empathy for those who may struggle with this particular holiday. Mother's Day isn't easy for everyone, and Snoopy Presents: To Mom (and Dad) With Love is a reminder to treat everyone kindly. The animation and music make the show feels like a classic Charlie Brown special, which is great for older viewers who have grown up on Peanuts. But it takes on issues of the heart that kids may not know how to deal with and shows that with mindfulness, conversation, and the ability to apologize when wrong, you can make it through an obstacle. All in all, the special reminds us that families are different and can celebrate Mother's Day however they please.
