This was the second film made with the Peanuts characters created by Charles M. Schulz after the success of the first film, A BOY NAMED CHARLIE BROWN. This film is also full of music, and the story centers on Snoopy, who discovers that his first owner is sick and feels the need to return to her, which means leaving Charlie Brown. The story is filled with both humor, especially in the comic buddy rapport between Snoopy and Woodstock, his small bird friend, and tears -- as Charlie Brown and the gang realize that Snoopy may be leaving for good.
