Rough But an Accurate Depiction of a First Crush

Warning: Spoilers
'It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown' starts off with some rough treatment of Charlie Brown, but ends on a pretty lovable ending.

The hate is an all time high for Charlie Brown while he is faced with the pressure of impressing his crush, the Little Red-Haired Girl for the Homecoming Dance. Charlie Brown feels sick to his stomach, and things unfairly go against him as Lucy repeatedly pulls the football from him thus him being blamed for losing the football game. Charlie Brown get extra anxious but when his moment arrives with the Little Red-Haired Girl it exceeds his wildest dreams.

The constant flask CB received was frustrating, but that penultimate scene of his first kiss is just spectacular. I initially wasn't really feeling this special as the dialogue is fairly plain and CB's voice just seems too hoarse, but the accurate depiction of a crush (especially for the first time) just melted my heart. The portrayal of love through its anxiety and surreal moments has you recall similar moments from your own life.

This special was solid. While not the best Peanuts special its for sure a definite watch as the animation and representation of love just make you feel all gooey inside.
