Straightening out Warm Blanket editions

There is some confusion about what Warm Blanket editions are available out there, perhaps slightly abetted by loose wording on this blog. To the best of my knowledge, there are:

  • A DVD edition, available everywhere, including here.
  • A Blu-ray only edition, which was available at the Schulz Museum for the premiere (thanks for the info, Ray!), and is available at Walmart.com; I don’t know if it is available at brick-and-mortar Walmarts.
  • A DVD-and-Blu-ray-and-digital combo pack, which is generally available in Canada, and is a Walmart exclusive in the US, but which can be gotten through third-party sellers on Amazon (no idea if they’re getting theirs from Canada or from Walmart but it’s all Region 1 and should work on the same players) but apparently cannot be gotten through Walmart.com.
  • As online and downloadable video from Amazon, and iTunes, and I would guess some other sources. The iTunes listing indicates that that version includes the bonus features Deconstructing Schulz: From Comic Book to Screenplay (yes, it says “Comic Book” on iTunes; of course, it says “Comic Strip” on the DVD) and Happiness is… Finding the Right Voice (the DVD box says Happiness Is… but the DVD itself says Happiness… Is — for this one, editor Nat says that iTunes listing is the best!), but doesn’t mention the third bonus feature or the deleted scene that are on the DVD, so they may not be included.

The animated special Peanuts: A Summer Musical is coming out on Friday, as discussed before. And yet here I am on Thursday, covering it. What sort of secret inside access did I have that let’s me do this? Easy, I live on the West Coast. It’s already Friday on the East …

Dolores CONFIRMED!

That is genuinely Dolores, the obscure Latina Peanuts character from the filmstrips, in the new special that releases this coming Friday. I’ve had it confirmed by the director of the special, who is half Latin himself. He indicates that she will not be the only character of such heritage in …

Officially, it’s a “Super Chubby”

When I reviewed the 2015 book adapting the TV special It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, I had this to say: The book that’s titled It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (adaptation by Kara McMahon, art by Scott Jeralds) takes basically the whole special and simplifies everything. It briefly tells you that Charlie …
