Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown (1977)

 

Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown is available on DVD for the first time ever. This fun story follows the gang as they go off to camp. Everyone is eager to experience the great outdoors, except for Sally. Camp Remote is a shock to everyone. Franklin doesn’t want to wake up at the required 5 am time, and he is upset there is no thermostat in the tent! Sally hates every part of the camp, Peppermint Patty decides she is going to lead her fellow tent-mates and rule by ballots, and Charlie Brown wants to learn leadership qualities while at the camp. The gang not only has to face the rigors of camp life, but also the three bullies who “rule” the camp.

 

When it comes time for the Big Rafting Race, it’s the bullies against the team of Charlie Brown, Linus, Franklin, and Schroeder (who insists on taking his piano on the raft), the team of Peppermint Patty, Lucy, Sally, and Marcie, and the team of Snoopy and Woodstock. Who do you think will win?

 

There are some very cute Peanuts moments throughout the entire movie, and some sentimental ones as well. Don’t be surprised if you reach for a tissue when little Snoopy thinks Woodstock is lost forever.

 

Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown is rated G for everyone.
