I Want A Dog For Christmas Charlie Brown

Latest news  Rerun, Linus and Lucy’s younger brother, is the star of this 40-minute-long holiday special from 2003. I had no idea that they were making new Peanuts cartoons that late, but the timing explains the subtle, lovely colors of the watercolor-look backgrounds. Even though it was created after Charles Schulz passed, it’s based on original strips by him, so the characters sound right and the jokes are funny and well-observed.
Rerun was best known to me for riding around in a kid seat on the back of his mother’s bicycle, although his name is also a great example of “truth in advertising”, since he looks just like his brother Linus. Here, he’s the one seeking the title pet in a letter to Santa. Rerun is also quite the precocious smart aleck, which he’d have to be, with crabby Lucy and blanket-dependent Linus as siblings
have the impression that Linus had a lot of enthusiasm and excitement about things, before he became Lucy’s victim, as she schemed to get his blanket away from him and he was sort of beaten down over the years. As he aged, he seemed to become a more introspective, neurotic character, too, perhaps influenced by hanging around Charlie Brown all the time. So Rerun recaptures the energy of a young boy who hasn’t yet been through the wringer combined with an adult take on such things as family dynamics and going to school. Much of the special is the three of them together doing family things, which is unusual to me, since I’m used to seeing Rerun on his own.
