After sharing a hug with his friend, he watches as all of the kids in the neighborhood meet up to enjoy a snow day. He then heads over to the Ice-Pond where the other children are playing and grabs Linus's blanket, pulling him and a few other kids around the pond, and manages to grab Woodstock as well. Snoopy then heads to the baseball field where Charlie Brown is practicing his pitching, and acts as his coach. He makes a snowball and hands it to Charlie Brown, telling him to "play ball', and then walks to the dig-out. He then gives Charlie Brown an encouraging cheer, only to swing the bat as a snowman, much to the dissapointment of Charlie Brown. Snoopy does a victory dance, but immediately stops after Charlie Brown looks at him, realizng that he was the snowman. Snoopy quickly runs back to the dig-out and acts dissapointed. Snoopy then watches as Charlie Brown and the other children peer over the fence to find out who the new neighbor is, and when Charlie Brown accidently knocks over the fence.

### A Dog Doesn't Judge You

After enjoying a snow day with Charlie Brown and the others, Snoopy climbs on top of Charlie Brown's bed. He is then asked by Charlie Brown why everything that he(Charlie Brown) tries turns out wrong, and that hopefully with the new kid, he will see him for who he truly is, like Snoopy does. Snoopy then, out of being tired from the day, falls asleep, much to the annoyance of Charlie Brown. The next day, Snoopy follows Charlie Brown to school, and is told by him that he can not come to school with him. Snoopy, disliking this idea, growls in disagreement, and attempts to get in behind Franklin after disguising himself as a student. Franklin does not buy this, and closes the door on Snoopy after taking back his book and telling Snoopy that no dogs are allowed in school. Snoopy sadly looks inside from window on the door, wishing to get in. Snoopy then heads around the building where Charlie Brown's classroom is, and attempts to get into the class by attempting to pry open the window, but his plan is thwarted when Marcie opens the window to let out Linus's model airplane, which had became activated by accident. Snoopy then tries again by climbing on top of the classroom and enters the class through the ventilation system. Lowering himself down with a yo-yo, Snoopy succesfully sneaks into the classroom, and takes out his binder. As he is putting paper into his binder, the metal rings pinch his paw, which leads to him yelling in pain, only to be thrown out by Lucy. Snoopy lands inside of a trash can, and finds a typewriter. Curious as to what the mechanism he had just found does, Snoopy takes it back home to find out what it does.

The night of the dance arrives and Snoopy walks with Charlie Brown to the school's gymnasium, and eats the cupcakes that Charlie Brown made. Snoopy enters the dance later as the boy's dance competition begins as another one of his alter ego's, Joe Cool. Snoopy joins in the competition and begins to dance down the aisle formed in between the kids, and even gets a compliment from Peppermint Patty who claims that the "funny-looking kid with big nose' had good moves.

## Snoopy Snippets

*Section will be completed very soon along with pictures.*

## Joe Cool

In the movie, Snoopy briefly takes on another one of his alter ego's: Joe Cool. He is first seen as Joe Cool when he enters the School Dance. He eventually participates in the boy's dance competition, recieving positive feedback from the others. He spots Charlie Brown nervously waiting at the start of the crowd, and encouragingly places a spotlight on him. After Charlie Brown accidently sets off the sprinkler system in the dance, Snoopy discards the Joe Cool alter ego and comorts Charlie Brown.

At one point in the movie, Snoopy acts as the Librarian at the Library that Charlie Brown and a few other kids go to. He reminds Woodstock to be quite in the Library, and continues to watch over until Charlie Brown leaves the library with the book *War and Peace*.

## Trivia

* Snoopy's voice in the movie is created using archival recordings of Bill Melendez, who is the original voice of Snoopy.
* It is interesting to note that Snoopy's story about the Flying Ace is heavily inspired by what he sees Charlie Brown go thorugh. A notable example of this is when Charlie Brown's book report is shredded and faces a great deal of depression in the following weeks, Snoopy, in his story, faces a huge knockdown when he fails to save Fifi.
