The Peanuts Thanksgiving DVD is now available to own in a re mastered edition. There are two Thanksgiving specials that are included in the Peanuts Thanksgiving DVD. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving premiered in 1973, and The Mayflower Voyagers first aired as part of the miniseries This is America, Charlie Brown in 1988. The Peanuts Thanksgiving DVD is one of many titles that have been restored and enhanced for release.



This first special of the Peanuts Thanksgiving DVD collection begins with Charlie Brown attempting, as always, to kick the football that Lucy is holding, then the story deals with Peppermint Patty inviting herself, Marcy, and Franklin over to Charlie Browns house for Thanksgiving dinner. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving was the first special that was based on an original script instead of being based off of a comic strip.

In this Peanuts Thanksgiving DVD, Linus tells Charlie Brown that he should make dinner for everyone, but Charlie Brown says that all he can make is cold cereal and maybe toast. They proceed anyway, creating a meal of buttered toast, popcorn, jellybeans, and pretzel sticks. The adventures that Snoopy and Woodstock have as they set the dinner table and make toast for the dinner is just one of the memorable moments that fill the Peanuts Thanksgiving DVD.

An included bonus episode that is available in this Peanuts Thanksgiving DVD collection is The Mayflower Voyagers. The kids in the gang play pilgrim children who are going to the colonies, but the thing that is very odd in this part of the Peanuts Thanksgiving DVD collection is seeing them interacting with adult characters. There is a lot of historical information that is presented in the holiday special however, and much of it is information that many people may not be aware of about the pilgrims and their voyage.

The all new featurette Popcorn & Jellybeans: Making a Thanksgiving Classic continues in the tradition of previous Peanuts DVD releases, providing great details and explanations into the making of the special. In it, we hear Mrs. Schulz saying that Charles was against Charlie Brown kicking Lucys football because thats not funny. You know, once he kicks the football the whole thing is over. Of course, that is exactly what happened years later in Its Magic, Charlie Brown, which is paired with Its the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

The Peanuts Thanksgiving DVD is a critical part to anyones collection of Peanuts DVDs that are available to own. The collections are digitally re mastered, and even though the animation still seems a bit primitive, many experts agree that overall it is much improved and sharper. Many fans claim that it is the simple animation reminds them of their childhoods, when life was indeed more simple. The Peanuts Thanksgiving DVD is one of ten titles that are now available to add to any fans collection.
