About

Synopsis

Happy New Year, Charlie Brown is a 1986 Peanuts TV special directed by Bill Melendez — stream it online on iFILM. Based on Charles M. Schulz's comic strip, the 25-minute film drops Charlie Brown into a problem only he could have: a New Year's Eve party, a book report on War and Peace, and a crush he'd like to ask to dance.

He cannot do all three. He probably cannot do one. The special keeps the gentle, quietly melancholy Schulz rhythm and lands with the kind of bittersweet ending that explains why Peanuts outlasted every competitor. Watch Happy New Year, Charlie Brown online on iFILM.
