snoopy , come home marked the first time snoopy ' s thoughts are fully communicated to the audience outside of the comic strip . this was achieved by having his typed correspondences appear at the top of the frame , giving the viewer full access to his thoughts . previously , schulz had opted to mute snoopy entirely , his thought balloons , which feature so prominently in the strip , being removed . without the benefit of a voice ( other than his indecipherable growl - like speaking ) , snoopy ' s signature rants were lost on television and film until snoopy , come home .
in snoopy , come home , snoopy faces a true - life dilemma . what were his reasons for going to see lila ? why did he consider going back to live with her ? did you agree with his decisions ? how was the choice ultimately taken out of his hands ?

snoopy , come home is a 1972 animated film directed by bill meléndez . it is the second of the five feature - length films based on the peanuts comic strip by charles schulz . whereas the first film , a boy named charlie brown , focused on charlie brown , this film focuses almost entirely on snoopy .
when the family lost their home to foreclosure in 2011 , the city offered to host the holiday celebration .

snoopy , come home was the only peanuts animated project produced during vince guaraldi ' s lifetime ( 1928 - 1976 ) that did not contain a musical score by the noted jazz composer . guaraldi had composed all the previous peanuts animated television specials as well as the debut feature film a boy named charlie brown . music for this film was instead composed by the brothers richard m . sherman and robert b . sherman , who were notable for the music used in many disney films . schulz said this was an experiment , as he had wanted to have more of a commercial , disney feel to snoopy , come home .

. due to the rarity of the album , and the soundtrack on the internet is ripped from the film and not the lp , i have taken the time to do a vinyl transfer and upload the album for everyone to hear .
snoopy was the one through which he soared . snoopy allowed him to be spontaneous , slapstick , silly , and wild . snoopy was rhythm , comedy , glamour , and style … as snoopy , he had no failures , no losses , no flaws … snoopy had friends and admirers all over the globe .
after charlie brown has gone home to play monopoly with the others , he notices snoopy is late and remarks he is tired of snoopy being late . the next day , snoopy is thrown off the beach due to a new
no dogs allowed on this beach
rule ( thus setting a running gag in the film ) .
this second feature film based on charles schultz ' s charming , unpretentious peanuts comic strip is a vast improvement over the first film , a boy named charlie brown ( it doesn ' t have the rod mckuen music , for one thing ) . snoopy , come home centers upon the adventures of charlie brown ' s pet beagle , snoopy , and his tiny , yellow pal , woodstock . when snoopy ' s original owner lila is hospitalized , the two take - off to comfort her . back home , charlie brown is being ribbed by his friends because of the revelation that snoopy had a previous owner (
you ' ve got a used dog , charlie brown !
one child cries ) . all of this leads up to a fateful decision for snoopy - - which owner will snoopy choose to live with ?
back home , the kids are happy to see snoopy return , carrying him on high to his dog house . once there , snoopy demands that the kids give him back the items he had given them before he left which turns their feelings to annoyance . the gang then leaves charlie brown and snoopy together , then charlie brown walks crossly away .

snoopy , come home is a 1972 american animated musical film , produced by cinema center films and lee mendelson films , released by national general pictures , directed by bill melendez , and based on the peanuts comic strip . the songs are by richard m . sherman and robert b . sherman . it was national general pictures ' second animated feature , after its predecessor , a boy named charlie brown .

and they lived happily ever after ,
but not before she kissed each of the dwarfs goodbye . her prince had indeed come , and the song

was heard celebrating his arrival
overall , snoopy come home is a bit of a flop . cut out the fight against linus and snoopy’s other misadventures and this movie would have been a lot better . it doesn’t mean that snoopy should just vanish either . his fight against lucy was handled fairly well and felt more like a real peanuts adventure . the fight was decently long , but it wasn’t as exaggerated as snoopy’s other battles . if you like the peanuts a lot then this may be a good film to check out . if not , then i definitely recommend skipping out on this one and you should just watch one of the classics like the christmas special or it’s magic charlie brown as an example of a snoopy centered special done right .
with snoopy leaving , charlie brown is unable to sleep or eat . he later admits to linus that he even prepared a dinner dish for snoopy and took it out to his now - abandoned doghouse before remembering that snoopy was gone .

take - - for explain - -
it changes
from that 1972 animated feature , snoopy come home . without knowing what was going on behind - the - scenes with the shermans when this song was originally written , it would be easy to think that this rueful tune was just charlie brown ' s way of expressing how sad he felt now that snoopy had decided to go live with his previous owner . but as richard talked with don about
it changes ,
this song ' s real significance eventually emerged .
box office bomb : against a $ 1m budget , it only made just over a fifth of it : a grand total of $ 245 , 073 . this didn ' t stop snoopy from getting vindicated by home video and television airings long after its release .
upon arriving at lila ' s home , however , snoopy finds out that not only does lila already have a pet of her own in the form of a beloved cat , but that her apartment has a
no dogs allowed
policy . freed of his obligations , snoopy joyfully runs back home and into the arms of charlie brown and company who welcome him back joyfully . the happiness lasts for a few minutes until he gets a swelled head and demand that they give back all the things he gave them before moving or he ' ll sue them , upon which everyone but charlie brown leaves snoopy in disgust
snoopy with clara , after she tells him she ' s going to spank him .
despite humorously every farewell gift is a bone , you come to the moment that everyone has dreaded - charlie brown ' s farewell gift to snoopy . however , charlie is unable to speak , and just thrusts out his gift , head bowed and remains that way for a very long time .
adaptation expansion : adapted from a series of strips where snoopy went missing to visit lila in hospital . the strips did have the angst of charlie brown losing snoopy and discovering he wasn ' t snoopy ' s original owner , but there was never any question of whether snoopy would stay with lila or return to charlie ; that was added by the film .
after their
disney decade ,
the shermans continued to write for film , including the animated features snoopy come home ( 1972 ) and hanna - barbera ' s 1973 adaptation of e . b . white ' s charlotte ' s web . through the years , the brothers have also acumulated enough honors to topple both of their mantles . in addition to their oscars , these include : two grammys , 23 gold and platinum albums and a star on hollywood ' s walk of fame .
) , a charming little miss , asking him to visit , he’s a bit relieved , and his sense of duty and loyalty takes over . snoopy and woodstock set off on a journey to see lila . and what a journey it is ! a profusion of obstacles is set in the beagle ' s path - - from way too many
no dogs allowed
signs to an alarming stint as the captured pet of clara ( linda ercolo ) , a rambunctious little girl ( the film ' s funniest sequence ) . back at home , charlie brown and the gang search for snoopy , worry about him , and nearly give up ever seeing their beloved friend again . to the joy of everyone , snoopy and woodstock come home . it ' s a short - lived relief , however . snoopy feels conflicted but responsible for lila and has only returned to pack up his things and move permanently . it ' s an emotional time for everyone . will snoopy really leave them ? if he does , will charlie brown and company ever recover ?
lila tries to convince snoopy to stay with her , but finally the two part ways . however , upon seeing her watching him tearfully from her hospital window , snoopy grudgingly runs back to her , which she takes as a sign that he wants to live with her . after this moment , he returns home to ' settle his affairs ' and say good - bye . snoopy writes a letter that states that certain items of his will be given away : linus is given his croquet set and chess set , schroeder receives snoopy ' s record collection .
the movie ends with the end credits being typed out by woodstock as snoopy dictates them .
everybody cries : snoopy ' s going - away party involves plenty of tears from everyone .
the best part of the special is when snoopy comes home temporarily to have a big send off from the gang . they get him a lot of bones to chew on and show how sad they would be without him . charlie couldn’t even say anything since it was all just too emotional for him . everyone did miss snoopy after all and not having him around anymore would certainly be tough for them to get past . that’s why i would have liked to have had a subplot of them trying a little harder to find snoopy . meeting him at the hospital would have been a good move , but instead the friends just stay at home the whole time . snoopy makes sure to pay them back for that by the end and then the status quo is preserved .
we want to hear , did we miss an angle we should have covered ? should we come back to this topic ? or just give us a rating for this story . we want to hear from you .

to accommodate this new snoopy - centric world , schulz began making changes . he invented a whole new animal world for snoopy . first came woodstock , a bird who communicates only with snoopy ( in little tic marks ) . and then snoopy acquired a family : spike , a droopy - eyed , mustachioed beagle , followed by olaf , andy , marbles , and belle .
both films are matted to 1 . 85 : 1 , seemingly cropped from the ratio of the original artwork . snoopy come home ’s opening credits are actually about 1 . 66 : 1 , before the film goes to 1 . 85 : 1 . cropping gets a little tight on the top in some shots as a result , although the first film actually often seems cramped at one edge or another . something’s up with this framing , and this is yet another reason for doing these movies up properly someday .
later , charlie brown takes sally and snoopy to the library , but again there’s a new “no dogs allowed” policy . it doesn’t help that he was laughing loudly at a book . it’s so traumatic that snoopy steals linus’s blanket , but that only starts a fight between the two . snoopy then gets into a sparring match with lucy , who was practicing when snoopy shows up .
snoopy and woodstock eventually make it to lila ' s side where they help her recover , only to have lila ask if snoopy wants to stay with her permanently . feeling obligated , snoopy returns home to inform everyone that he is leaving to live with lila permanently , essentially massacring what little self - esteem charlie brown has in the process . this culminates in a going - away party in which the entire peanuts cast ( and the audience as well ) ends up crying hysterically the entire time while snoopy gives away all of his possessions . charlie brown sinks even deeper into depression afterwards .
snoopy travels to see his sick former owner and then feels obliged to return to her permanently .
title drop : while despairing over snoopy being gone , charlie brown cries out the movie title .
snoopy finally arrives at the hospital but , again , no dogs are allowed in . to add further insult , the hospital does not allow birds to enter either . snoopy is foiled in his first attempt to sneak into lila ' s room , but he is successful the second time . he then keeps lila company for the rest of the time she is admitted . lila credits snoopy with his visit , claiming that it helped her get better . she then mentions that when she gets better , she would like snoopy to go home with her , but he has doubts about this idea .
clara is the little girl who believes snoopy is a stray and takes him home with her . what were her reasons for wanting a pet ? what did she know about being a pet owner ? how important is it to have the animal ' s welfare foremost in mind when caring for a pet ?
the snoopy house tradition began in 1966 when james and linda jordan created a tribute to charlie brown and other “peanuts” characters in the yard of their eastside home . the display quickly became a must - see attraction , creating fond memories for generations of visitors , many of whom now bring their own families .
mark mcanlis , who grew up near the jordan home in costa mesa , echoed that statement as his two children , molly , 6 , and michael , 4 , explored several booths while catching falling snowflakes .
there are a lot of similarities between these two films . snoopy come home also has a thin plot and lots of padding , musical numbers that go nowhere , and bland styling . it was also directed by bill melendez , who proved competent in the tv specials , but here struggles to make the most of his million dollar budget for the movie . this film made only about a quarter of its budget initially , though tv airings and home video have made it profitable over the years . many even consider this film the best of the four peanuts movies , as this one has a strong streak of sentiment in it . it also has songs by the sherman brothers , legendary from other projects , particularly disney films like mary poppins .
) seems to be blaming snoopy for everything , particularly his own human disappointments . so when snoopy gets a melancholy letter from his hospitalized first owner ( surprise , peanuts fans ! ) lila ( johanna
a boy named charlie brown received an upgrade to a 5 . 1 dolby digital soundtrack , but expectations should be appropriately managed . the 5 . 1 track does fill things out slightly when compared to the also - included stereo track . there’s no low end to speak of , of course , but the 5 . 1 track does manage to create a nice bit of ambience with the music , as well as a few well - placed sound effects . snoopy come home gets a pretty drab stereo track , but it sounds clear enough .
after giving snoopy his present , he finally cries out in pain with snoopy doing likewise . the rest of the gang , even lucy , eventually follows suit when schroeder plays
it ' s a long way to tipperary
on his piano after snoopy opens his mountain of presents ( every single gift is a dog bone ) . after snoopy leaves , charlie brown is unable to sleep or eat .

costa mesa – it wouldn’t be christmas in costa mesa without the city’s iconic snoopy house holiday display .
ridiculed by everyone , this peanuts adventure centres in on snoopy as he fleas from his home with charlie brown when he finds out that he has an original owner in the hospital . in this very brutally honest feature , we follow a dog on how it is forbidden to enter any public place in town as he searches for his previous owner . this is a very sad film at it ' s core , but a beautiful one as well . very well - drawn , very well - scripted for the film that it is , and characters that will put a smile on your face , this second charlie brown feature ,
snoopy , come home ,
is one for the ages . i highly recommend it to any fans of these characters or any parents looking to show their kids a cartoon with so much more to offer than nonsensical scenes . a terrific film for everyone !
stereotypical , yes…but at least they stop crying for two seconds ! i wish jose was around to gift snoopy a sombrero . there might ' ve been a dance scene ! everybody loves to see snoopy dance .
after traveling untold miles by foot , and just narrowly escaping extended captivity at the hands of a sugar - powered sociopath named clara , snoopy ( and woodstock ! ) finally reach the hospital . his presence has worked wonders for lila ; her discharge is imminent and she asks snoopy to go home with her - - for good . he consents , but must first return to the neighborhood and give his old friends a proper goodbye .
snoopy come home inexplicably begins with the neighborhood kids playing at the beach , revealed to apparently be in walking distance from charlie brown’s house . we get about two or three songs in before arriving at anything resembling a plot , though i did enjoy the peppy title song that plays with the opening credits ( where we see woodstock introduced to animation for the first time ) . that the credits almost immediately bring us to another song , at the beach , seems an odd choice , and is indicative of the film’s over - reliance on songs that don’t advance the story .
traditional cartoon pratfalls : woodstock often falls , conks his head , and becomes dizzy . snoopy deals with antics of a rough - and - tumble girl who cluelessly manhandles him . typical peanuts misunderstandings are more heightened than usual . linus and snoopy struggle over the precious blanket . lucy and snoopy have a boxing match .
the film was released on dvd in anamorphic widescreen in the u . s . on march 28 , 2006 , by paramount pictures / cbs home entertainment ( cbs owned cinema center films , which co - produced the film ) .
snoopy and the rest of the peanuts gang go to the beach for the day and while they ' re there , snoopy promises to go back to the beach the next day to meet up with peppermint patty .
snoopy was the polar opposite of charlie brown , who had nothing but failures , losses , and flaws .

while his dog is off being grumpy , charlie brown sits at home and wonders where he went so wrong as a pet owner . why is his dog so darned independent ? why can ' t he just enjoy playing a simple game of fetch like a normal dog ? why does everything have to come back around to world war i ? why does snoopy insist that charlie brown bring his supper to the doghouse like a personal waiter ? the irritation only increases when charlie brown slices his thumb on the can opener whilst preparing the evening meal . he brandishes his bandaged digit before snoopy in an attempt to make him feel guilty , but snoopy acknowledges only his hunger pangs . ( i cut my thumb on a meat slicer once . six stitches . still have the scar . shuddup , brown . )
just as some people thought that charlie brown , the insecure loser , the boy who never won the love of the little red - haired girl , was the alter ego of schulz himself near the beginning of his career , so snoopy could be cast as the egotistical alter ego of schulz the world - famous millionaire , who finally found a little happiness in his second marriage and thus became insufferably cutesy . ( in 1973 , schulz and his wife divorced , and a month later schulz married jeannie clyde , a woman he met at the warm puppy café , at his skating rink in santa rosa , california . ) two - legged snoopy , with his airs and fantasies—peerless snoopy , rich snoopy , popular snoopy , world - famous snoopy , contented snoopy—spoiled it all .
snoopy later receives a letter from a girl named lila , who has been in the hospital for three weeks for unspecified reasons and needs snoopy to keep her company . upon receiving the letter , snoopy immediately sets off with woodstock to go see her , leaving charlie brown completely in the dark as to who lila is . linus decides to do some investigating , and discovers that lila is snoopy ' s original owner ; charlie brown faints upon hearing this .
snoopy then receives a letter from his original owner , lila , with whom he only spent two months as a puppy before he was sent back to the daisy hill puppy farm because lila ' s family moved . the letter informs snoopy that lila is in the hospital and wishes to see snoopy again . snoopy and woodstock immediately leave town to visit her without explaining . they go on a somewhat surreal journey across the country and engage in silent shenanigans .
the movie marked the first time snoopy ' s thoughts are fully communicated to the audience outside of the comic strip .
call back : snoopy plays the jew ' s harp , just like he did in a boy named charlie brown .
literal ass kicking : snoopy gives one to charlie brown , and gets one from schroeder , in the opening credits .
scooby dooby doors : a scene like this occurs at one point when clara chases snoopy and woodstock through her house .
snoopy come home is a great movie , if you use some judicious fast - forwarding . like the previous film , there’s a great half - hour tv special lurking within the 80 - minute runtime . the sherman bros . songs are actually kind of catchy if forgettable ; they’re just over - utilized to pad things out . there is no doubting that the story in this movie delivers a good dollop of emotion ; it’s just too bad it’s diluted by stretching it into feature length . i always preferred race for your life , charlie brown , which i hope will be forthcoming now that the first two charlie brown films have each been released twice .
creative closing credits : snoopy types up the entire end credits on his typewriter . in addition , instead of listing actors with their roles , the heads of the characters appear with snoopy typing up the actors ' names next to the character he or she plays , with snoopy and woodstock ' s actors ' names appearing physically next to them as snoopy types . embellished cut - out photos of the crew members ( all wearing funny hats ) also appear as their names are typed alongside .
it ' s all my fault : peppermint patty , lucy , linus , and charlie brown blame themselves for snoopy leaving .
linus : you bought snoopy in the month of october , right ? according to the records at the daisy hill puppy farm , snoopy was bought by another family in august . this family had a little girl named lila . snoopy and lila loved each other very much , but then they moved , and the family decided they just couldn ' t keep snoopy so they returned him . ( beat ) you got a used dog , charlie brown . charlie brown : ( looks shocked and faints )
snoopy runs back to lila , which she takes as a sign that he wants to live with her . but first , he needs to return to
settle his affairs
and say goodbye . snoopy writes a letter directing that certain items of his will be given away : linus is given his croquet and chess sets , while schroeder receives snoopy ' s record collection .
families can talk about the many ways in which peanuts has been a part of our culture for more than half a century . how close do charles m . schulz ' s cartoon characters come to expressing our most real human traits ? what factors continue to keep the franchise fresh and relevant ?
when snoopy is sent back to the puppy farm for obedience training , he free - loads at peppermint patty ' s instead .
with the beagle over the boy ' s beloved blanket . then lucy and snoopy partake in a pugilistic showdown for the ages .
odd name out : this is the only one of the five peanuts movies that has snoopy ' s name in the title .

some thought this new snoopy was an excellent thing , indeed the key to the strip’s greatness . schulz was among them : “i don’t know how he got to walking , and i don’t know how he first began to think , but that was probably one of the best things that i ever did . ” the novelist jonathan franzen is another snoopy fan . snoopy , as franzen has noted , is
but he was smitten with snoopy . ( during one of the christmas ice shows in santa rosa , while watching snoopy skate , schulz leaned over and remarked to his friend lynn johnston , another cartoonist , “just think … there was a time when there was no snoopy ! ” ) schulz , johnston writes in an introduction to one of the fantagraphics volumes , found his winning self in this dog :
- - clara mentions that snoopy and woodstock will make fine additions to her
collection
of pets . however , snoopy and woodstock are the only pets we actually see . there is an empty birdcage , as well as a portrait of a large orange cat .
( though he does leave a few moments later in disgust as well when snoopy has let woodstock type in the ending credits ) .

to summarize : the plot begins with snoopy experiencing dissatisfaction with his life amongst the other characters , as numerous
no dogs alloooooooooowed
signs have recently been put up around the town , resulting in snoopy being kicked out of most public places . after this , snoopy attempts to get the attention of charlie brown and the other kids , only to be rejected or shrugged off in one way or another .
it is also one of only four adaptations of peanuts to other media that does not have
charlie brown
in the title , the other three being snoopy ! ! ! the musical ( both stage and animated ) , snoopy ' s reunion and the peanuts movie .
snoopy may have been delusional , but in the end he knew very well that everything could come tumbling down . his very existence seems to be a way of saying that no matter what a person builds up for himself inside or outside society , everyone is basically alone in it together . by the way , in the end snoopy did admit to at least one shortcoming , though he claimed he wasn’t really to blame . in the strip that ran on january 1 , 2000 , drawn in shaky lines , the kids are having a great snowball fight . snoopy sits on the sidelines , struggling to get his paws around a snowball : “suddenly the dog realized that his dad had never taught him how to throw snowballs . ”
the sheer joy that overwhelms the gang upon snoopy ' s return is short - lived once he takes to the typewriter and demands all his stuff back . that ' s right , schroeder ; hand over all the vinyl . you think snoopy doesn ' t take meticulous inventory ?
. he straight up ambushes linus ; there will be no quick circuit around the yard ending with a boy sent airborne . snoopy is aggrieved and he intends to inflict pain . naturally linus responds in kind , including repeated twists of snoopy ' s nose that would cause a lesser canine to cower and quiver . being an outstanding example of his species , however , snoopy fights back . he creases his face into a

the peanuts gang are at the beach and are having a great time . peppermint patty and snoopy have such a good time that they decide to meet at the beach the next day , much to the dismay of charlie brown . snoopy is charlie brown’s dog and he takes care of him , but snoopy is tends to have adventures without him , leaving charlie brown angry . the next day , peppermint patty and snoopy return to the beach for a picnic , but there’s a new rule , no dogs allowed . worse still , they arrived separately , so peppermint patty doesn’t even know why snoopy didn’t show up . snoopy is so upset about this that he writes a letter to the editor . . . . okay , he doesn’t write it , because he’s a dog . he dictates it and woodstock the bird types it up for him .
what hurts the snoopy subplot is the fact that he has to go through many hardships . they are all comic relief of course , but it can get to be a bit much . one such plot like this is when linus and snoopy decide to start beating each other up over the blanket that linus always carries around . it goes on for quite some time and the blows do look quite painful . the scene isn’t particularly flattering to either character . another example is when snoopy is adopted by a mean little girl who decides to keep on throwing snoopy around and doesn’t know how to have a pet . even when escaping , snoopy drops the bird that he was helping and gives him a headache .
he was right . snoopy’s initial interactions with the kids—his understanding of humanity , indeed his deep empathy ( just what they were often missing ) , coupled with his inability to speak—were unique . and that’s why whenever snoopy’s relatives showed up , the air just went out of the strip .
is still a highly entertaining watch . yes , the scenes where the kids say farewell to snoopy are sad as all hell . yes , there isn ' t really much of an emotional connection established between snoopy and lila ( it ' s sweet when he enters the hospital room and
when snoopy arrives at lila ' s apartment building the next day , he sees a sign next to the door that says

before lila comes to the door . then he is reluctantly introduced to lila ' s pet cat . snoopy shows lila the sign . now released from his personal obligation by this discovery , snoopy leaves lila behind and joyfully returns to charlie brown and the others .
it’s possible—i think—to make a mistake in the strip and without realizing it , destroy it … i realized it myself a couple of years ago when i began to introduce snoopy’s brothers and sisters … it destroyed the relationship that snoopy has with the kids , which is a very strange relationship .
to enlarge on the above , she thinks that snoopy ( a beagle ) and woodstock ( a canary ) are a sheepdog and a parrot .
cant you read the sign : used as a running gag . snoopy is constantly booted from places with
no dogs allowed !
signs .
what the hell , hero ? : when he returns for good , snoopy asks everyone to return the gifts he gave them when he left .
the kids throw snoopy a large , tearful going - away party , each one bringing a gift . the kids closest to snoopy get up to say a few words in his honor . but when it is charlie brown ' s turn to speak , he is overwhelmed to the point of silence . he finally bursts into tears with snoopy doing likewise . the rest of the gang , even lucy , eventually follows suit when schroeder plays
it ' s a long way to tipperary
on his piano after snoopy opens his mountain of presents ( every single one is a bone ) .
after that traumatic scene , we are treated to yet another one ! snoopy puts a ' for sale ' sign on his dog house , shakes woodstock ' s hand very formally and begins to leave . there ' s a small pause and then suddenly woodstock cries out and chases after snoopy , completely sobbing . the two friends share a tearful hug and handshake before snoopy departs . immediately followed by the
it changes
song listed above .
the kids throw snoopy a large , tearful going - away party , each one bringing a gift . the kids closest to snoopy get up to say a few words in his honor , but when it is charlie brown ' s turn to speak , he is overwhelmed to the point of silence .
but some people detested the new snoopy and blamed him for what they viewed as the decline of peanuts in the second half of its 50 - year run . “it’s tough to fix the exact date when snoopy went from being the strip’s besetting artistic weakness to ruining it altogether , ” the journalist and critic christopher caldwell wrote in 2000 , a month before schulz died , in an essay in new york press titled “against snoopy . ” but certainly by the 1970s , caldwell wrote , snoopy had begun wrecking the delicate world that schulz had built . the problem , as caldwell saw it , was that
, snoopy “represents the part of ourselves—the smugness , the avidity , the pomposity , the rank egotism—most of us know we have but try to keep decently hidden away . ” while charlie brown was made to be buffeted by other personalities and cared very much what others thought of him , snoopy’s soul is all about self - invention—which can be seen as delusional self - love . this new snoopy , his detractors felt , had no room for empathy .
- - the story of how snoopy came into charlie brown ' s life has been told once in the strips and twice on the screen . while
chekhov ' s gag : snoopy is usually upset at all the
no dogs allowed !
rules , until such a rule settles his decision .
everything is an instrument : the first time woodstock whistles ' the best of buddies ' , snoopy accompanies him by banging spoons against his dog bowl .

the good - bye or farewell party for snoopy ( voice of bill melendez ) who had decided to go back and live with lila - in which each of the members of the peanuts gang gave snoopy a parting gift . snoopy ' s devoted second owner charlie brown ( voice of chad webber ) was so overwhelmed that he was unable to say a single word out of grief as he simply held out his gift , head bowed - - both he and snoopy burst into tears ; the party ended with everyone sobbing as linus played
it ' s a long way to tipperary
on the piano
the response was a mix of cheers and chuckles . the governor’s question had come somewhat in jest , tacked to the end of a lengthy list of love - seeking entreaties for the many local elected democrats who had joined him inside a poorly - ventilated , inner - city recreation center decorated with the iconography of historic brooklyn and african american leaders .
meanwhile , charlie brown spirals into a extreme depression ( even for him ) at snoopy running away , and any attempts at his friends to cheer him up fail . if anything , he in the charliest of browniest fashions manages to simply make everyone depressed as they all blame themselves for snoopy running away .
woodstock and snoopy run away after seeing too many ' no dogs ' signs . this sends charlie brown into turmoil as he searches for his favourite companion .
these plots weren’t funny in the slightest and just made the special a little more irritating . at least snoopy’s old owner was reasonable . she didn’t try to guilt trip snoopy quite as much as i had expected . not knowing that her building didn’t allow dogs was a pretty big mistake though . that seems like something that she should have known beforehand . still , it gave snoopy a good “out” and he was able to return home . by now it’s possible that the letter he signed to the mayor will have taken effect so he can use the library and other services again . hopefully that happens since we just saw him use the library in “it’s magic charlie brown . ” seems odd that they would ban him after that . he was being loud , but the book was just that funny .
nevertheless , we do soon see some friction between snoopy and charlie brown , who sees his dog as becoming overly independent and prone to taking charlie brown for granted . then , in another move that predicts what is to come , we get a reprise of at the beach ! we also get introduced to a major motif of the movie , one which gets its own song sung by classic baritone voice performer thurl ravenscroft , no dogs allowed . snoopy gets kicked off the beach , out of the library , and away from linus and his blanket , before getting into a boxing match with lucy . and then… we are finally introduced to a major character : lila .

the power of the mind is often considered as one of the most important aspects in fighting an illness . local videographer shaun savard , owner of playmaker studios , firmly believes this . so much so that he has worked for over a year and half in creating a documentary titled “the test of a man” .

i don’t have much experience . does that affect my chances of being selected ? no . we seek to foster exciting emerging voices , regardless of prior professional film experience .
just about every aspect of playmaker is a disaster , from the ludicrous script to the poor direction to the awful casting . when the lead actor himself is declaring that it’s “a silly story” and that his primary motivation for being involved was that it was “a three week job and it paid extremely well” and just happened to be filming in the same city where his son was at the time , that’s not exactly a ringing endorsement , and after watching this flick , it’s easy to see why the man would prefer to distance himself from this celluloid lutefisk factory . there’s no getting around the fact that playmaker is just plain bad .
first mr . allison told his kitchen staff the story of ' ' the playmaker , ' ' the eminent australian writer thomas keneally ' s novel about a lieutenant in the australian prison colony charged with celebrating the king ' s birthday by putting on a performance of george farquhar ' s 1706 play ' ' the recruiting officer .

with split now in cinemas , we chatted with shyamalan about working on the story for 15 years , finding the right actor to play such a complicated part , and other film twists that proved influential .
: sharpay suffers from this , having apparently seen the error of her ways at the end of the film , only to become nasty again at the beginning of the next one . repeat , twice .
am i eligible for future sundance support if i am selected for a development track program or fellowship ? all development track program fellows are eligible to be considered for additional feature film program labs and activities , including the directors lab ( first - time fiction feature directors only ) , the creative producing summit , catalyst forum , women’s financing intensive , and ongoing creative and strategic support from feature film program staff .
broken aesop : between # 1 and # 3 vs # 2 . the moral of the first film is essentially ' support other ' s dreams rather than tearing them down ' ( the wildcats accepting troy and gabriella singing ) . the second film switches to ' your friend ' s pressuring is more important than your dreams . ' ( troy trying to win a scholarship ) . then the third film jumps back onto the ' support each other ' wagon . ( troy doing basketball and singing , gabriella going to stanford , kelsi wanting to do the show together ) . if you ' re confused , fair enough .

but if three - star film makers can fail at running restaurants , what makes a three - star restaurateur believe he can succeed at producing a film ? ' ' maybe it is this particular restaurateur , ' ' mr . allison said . ' ' as a literary person , i ' m very much in touch with what tom is writing about in characterization , narrative and plot . i understand the themes of the book .
looking at hodges’ game film at virginia tech , he’s really used as a wr , lining up outside or in the slot , and was rarely asked to block much as a traditional , in - line te .
i ' m more inspired by the weirdest movies that you would see . for me , robert altman was a big inspiration for split . and the film cache . and dogtooth , which was a film from greece . just really unusual movies were the inspiration for split . it isn ' t like one - to - one like that , but of course it was those movies that have those amazing paradigm shifts .
let ' s talk pearls . that pearl scene , in my opinion , is colin ' s finest hour in this film . he starts slow , builds the crescendo and it culminates when he grinds up the pearls .
comical overreacting : so many times , especially in the first film . chad is a walking - talking version all on his own and ' stick to the status quo ' is a whole song of over - reactions .
star - crossed lovers : played straight in the first film , with the whole school seemingly working to separate troy and gabriella , albeit mostly because of the singing thing . after that . . . not so much .
eligibility : writers or writer / directors developing their first or second fiction feature film and of asian american descent or with significant themes and / or characters portraying the asian american experience in their screenplay are eligible to apply .

birds of a feather : ryan and kelsi in the third film , who bond over composing and choreographing the musical together , are two of the sweetest , most easy - going characters , and were previously bullied by sharpay .
the feature film program ' s first international lab was established in the early 90s with producer berta navarro , and supported an exciting new generation of mexican filmmakers , including alfonso cuaron and guillermo del toro . we are very pleased to return with the morelia screenwriters lab , run in collaboration with berta and the morelia film festival , an opportunity for the institute to re - establish ties to our closest neighbor and support a new generation of artists in mexico .

justified in that in the second film , she has more actual power over the others as a rich bitch club member , whereas everyone else is an employee . at school , the others are her equals and she can only manipulate things .
“the film chronicles the life experiences of our own dr . paul poirier as he deals with brain cancer” , said mr . savard . “dr . poirier has been fighting cancer for 15 years , which is a true testament to his strength . ”
beta couple : chad and taylor , who go through a lot less drama than troy and gabriella . subverted in that its implied they break up , albeit amicably , at the end of the third film , while troy and gabriella stay together .
but as you start to gain more of an appreciation for his film , you start to see a special type of tenacity and a surprising attention to detail that most small - school no . 1 receivers capable of bullying cornerbacks wouldn’t normally have .
with friends like these : chad and taylor for troy and gabriella in the first film . chad , who has been troy ' s best friend since childhood , starts a bullying campaign against him singing and sabotages his chances with the girl he really likes . taylor befriends the already shy and insecure gabriella , just to get her on the scholastic decathlon , and then tricks the guy she likes into hurting her , leaving gabriella devastated . they do however , redeem themselves in the second half of the film . in the second film , taylor spends most of her time questioning gabriella ' s choice to be with troy , while chad only complains about the job troy got him , specially when troy gets a promotion and chad guilt trips him into renouncing .

the one redeeming quality of this film is the fact that colin has an ample amount of screen time as he portrays two very different characters . both characters are a departure from anything he has portrayed in other films and lack the depth of character which usually trademarks his films .
in three out of four games shouldering the load with 20 - plus carries , he amassed 100 yards or more . as the film study illustrated , he’s a dynamic offensive weapon as a high - iq , quick and elusive ball - carrier as well as a reliable receiver .

tennessee needed wide receiver help as badly as any team , so davis held more value to them than the other teams drafting in the top 10 . if they waited , they wouldn’t have obtained the best wide receiver in the draft class . so , what does the film tell us about davis ?

took a level in kindness : chad , taylor , ms darbus and jack bolton by the end of the first film and onwards . ms darbus in particular goes from refusing to let troy and gabriella audition because they ' re one minute late , to counselling troy during his break down about his future .
teacher favoritism : ms darbus blatantly favors drama club presidents sharpay and ryan in the first film , even changing the callbacks to suit them . at the same time she picks on the innocent troy purely because he ' s the basketball captain and her rival ' s son . she gets better in later movies .
troy and gabriella ' s friendships with chad and taylor as a whole fall into this . in the first film , troy and gabriella don ' t even get angry about the zany scheme that devastated both of them - and included chad using troy ' s difficult relationship with his dad against him and taylor undermining gabriella ' s already fragile self - confidence in making friends . in the second film taylor telling gabriella to dump troy for flaws like turning up to late to a date , and chad getting hurt over troy focusing on college prospects isn ' t even addressed . ( see also : with friends like these ) .
against the detroit lions on sunday night , the formation broncos safety david bruton saw was familiar , the play predictable . bruton watched the lions run what he called a “wrap - six” countless times on film , so when detroit wide receiver calvin johnson broke open and quarterback matthew stafford looked his way , bruton didn’t hesitate .
the sundance institute feature film program ( ffp ) advances original storytelling from distinctive voices by supporting independent filmmakers from development through distribution of their feature projects . the program was established over 30 years ago , responding to the shared conviction that independent film has the ability to catalyze far - reaching artistic and cultural impact . through labs , mentorship , grants , and year - round customized strategic support , we are committed to fostering self - expression , risk - taking , collaboration , and community . the program has championed the unique visions of a next generation of feature filmmakers from around the world , and has become an international model for supporting artists .
establishing character moment : troy and gabriella have ones when they both protest about going to the party : troy is playing basketball with his dad and gabriella wants to finish her book alone . of course the rest of the film is about subverting these impressions by showing they want to be more than the basketball guy and geeky girl .
most of the time , small - school prospects stand out for their physical tools and not their knowledge of the game . but when i watch corey davis on film , his footwork at the line of scrimmage , awareness after the catch , and “my - ball” mentality shine far more than his speed , strength , or agility .
as part of the speaking sustainably film series , changing seas invites you to a complementary reception and screening of maug ' s caldera : a natural laboratory at the deering estate at 7 pm . following the screening guests can participate in a q & a with scientists and the production crew . event is free and open to the public .
it is true that davis struggled to gain separation on routes that take a longer time to develop , but he’s not a “9” route guy like john ross either . davis wins at the short and intermediate levels of the field where he can use his clean release off the line of scrimmage , quick feet , and large frame to soak up receptions . even though davis isn’t a vertical burner , don’t underestimate his status as a playmaker , because he can make his fair share of splash plays with the ball in his hands . against ohio , davis put on a “yac” clinic that reminded me of 2016 rookie sensation michael thomas .
artistic statement ( 1000 word limit ) : please describe your creative vision for the project . what is your personal connection to the material ? what themes are you most interested in exploring in your work , and what do you want an audience to take away from your film ? how do you envision the realization of this script in terms of story , character , tone , and / or visual style ? is there a budget level you have in mind ? who do you see as the audience for this film ? why are you passionate about telling this story now ? if this is a resubmission of material we’ve previously considered , how has the material changed since we last read it ?
every game of davis’s provides a different sampling of what he brings to the table as a wide receiver . when i first started to watch davis’s film , his work at the line of scrimmage and after the catch stood out — but nothing else did , which left me wondering if he is an inferior prospect to what michael thomas was last season .
in the end , there’s just no getting around it : playmaker is , indeed , “complete rubbish” , as its own lead actor so eloquently puts it . however , unlike mr . firth , i encourage others to see it , just to spread the suffering around . just realize in advance that this movie is neither erotic nor thrilling ( unless a couple quick shots of colin firth’s butt really get you going ) , and that with the exception of watching the lead actor suffer through a part farther beneath him than the marianas trench , there is pretty much nothing worthwhile going on with this meandering , nonsensical movie , and that once the ending rolls around , you may be suddenly overcome with the unbearable urge to slap somebody .
the documentary is approximately 24 minutes long which was carved out of some 35 hours of footage . every aspect of dr . poirier’s battle is explored – chemo treatments , seizures , physical recovery from the operations and even family life . the film also has a few special touches with a celebrity shot featuring arnold schwarzenegger , while narration is handled by ian anderson of the well known band jethro tull .
hidden depths : pretty much the whole basis on the movie . you ' ve got the big man on campus and teen genius who want to try singing musical theatre , a lovable jock who is also a supreme chef , a hollywood nerd who loves hiphop and a skater who plays the cello . in the second film ryan also proves to be pretty good at baseball , and chad at dancing .
running back latavius murray is expected to take over the lead role in the backfield , per urltoken writer sergio portela , but helu has the tools to contribute in a multitude of ways as the no . 2 rb on the depth chart . raider nation shouldn’t count trent richardson out of the rb committee . however , helu shows a tremendous amount of potential when breaking down his game in film study .
eligibility : filmmakers must be in picture edit on a fiction feature film ; by the start date of the residency , filmmakers must have completed a first cut but still have significant time allotted in the schedule before picture lock . priority is given to first or second - time directors that are alumni of institute programs or the festival . to apply , filmmakers must submit a rough cut or substantial sequences along with the shooting draft of the screenplay .
while watching this film , it ' s important to keep in mind that michael is an actor , playing the part of ross . i mention this because of ross ' death scene , which colin plays with a slightly overstated style , uncharacteristic of the subtlety expected from his performances . it is my belief that colin played it this way purposefully , to convey the impression of an untrained actor ' s ( michael ) portrayal of a death scene .
mr . allison called mr . keneally ' s agents in london , seeking the right to film ' ' to asmara . ' ' ' ' and they said no one had it yet , but i certainly didn ' t stand a chance , ' ' mr . allison recalled . ' ' they weren ' t that blunt , of course , but i was clearly a dark horse . a number of people were interested in the rights . ' '

: in the second film sharpay anonymously hires troy to work for her , spies on him almost 24 / 7 , has his manager track his movements , and blackmails him into singing romantic duets with her . all while he ' s highly uncomfortable and in a serious relationship with gabriella . while sharpay ' s clearly in the wrong , her actions are played as a frivolous teenage crush instead of anything more serious , and most of the blame falls on troy for not getting rid of her .
what happened to the mouse ? : ironically enough , the titular high school musical ( apparently called twinkle towne ) , in the first film . you ' d think with all the importance placed on its callbacks , we ' d get some focus on the musical itself , like maybe showing troy and gabriella practicing songs or scenes from it , right ? well , you ' d be wrong - after the performance of breaking free it ' s never brought up again , not even in the sequels .
sundance institute , christos v . konstantakopoulos ' faliro house ( the lobster , before midnight ) , and filmmaker athina rachel tsangari ( at _ tenberg , chevalier _ ) have partnered to create the faliro house | sundance mediterranean screenwriters workshop , in recognition and support of emerging independent filmmakers in greece , spain , italy , cyprus and portugal . modeled on the institute’s renowned screenwriters lab in utah , the workshop is designed to give independent screenwriters a fully immersive space to work intensively on their first or second feature film scripts .
nonetheless , it took him time to settle in spain , with atlético’s medical staff concerned he consumed too much meat and insufficient water . in that first season , he played just off fernando torres and , like the spain striker , had his name tattooed on his forearm in “tengwar” , one of the elvish languages invented by jrr tolkien , although he admits that at the time he had not seen the lord of the rings film . “the tattoo artist told me it looked good , so i got it done , ” he said .
double standard : sharpay ' s pursuit of troy in the second film comes across as sexual harassment and blackmail but she ' s easily forgiven by the end and her more extreme moves are played for laughs . troy is clearly uncomfortable and nervous around her , but is still forced to shoulder most of the blame , even though she ' s actively stalking him and his job means he can ' t avoid her . imagine if the positions were flipped and a guy was stalking and harassing a girl at a job she desperately needed .
