You know those DVDs they’ve been releasing with one Peanuts TV special mixed with one episode of The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show? And you know those cheap DVD sets where you can get four related films in a single DVD case for about $10-$15? Well, you can probably see what’s coming…

A four-in-one Peanuts release! Yup, coming in June is 4 Kid Favorites: Happiness Is… Peanuts, which contains the previous released disks Snoopy’s Adventures, Go Snoopy Go!, Team Snoopy, and Snow Days, which means it has Snoopy’s Getting Married, Charlie Brown; It’s Spring Training, Charlie Brown; Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown; and She’s a Good Skate, Charlie Brown, plus four episodes of the The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show. All of that, and at the moment the preorder price is a mere $10.49.
