Team Snoopy

Now shipping is Happiness is… Peanuts: Team Snoopy, a DVD combining the TV special Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown with some sports-oriented material from The Charlie Brown & Snoopy Show.

But despite any empty hype on the cover… it’s a disk filled with Peanuts animation. There ain’t nothing wrong with that!
