New Peanuts holiday DVD set

Animated Peanuts

Just released this week is Snoopy’s Holiday Collection, a new boxed set of holiday DVDs… but, well, it’s just a new box for them, with three existing DVDs:

  • I Want A Dog For Christmas, Charlie Brown, which has that special and Happy New Year, Charlie Brown on it. (Oh, and also a bonus featurette featuring – well, featuretting – yours truly.)
  • Charlie Brown’s Christmas Tales, which also has Is This Goodbye, Charlie Brown on it
  • Happiness is Peanuts: Snow Days, which pairs the special She’s a Good Skate, Charlie Brown with some material from The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show.

Still, all in all it’s a good deal, list price just under twenty bucks, at the moment Amazon is offering it for about $17.

It briefly tells you that Charlie …
