(A buddy of mine's brother was also a student at CalArts at the time, so we got to see some of this stuff.) The Great Pumpkin is not happy with the bum rap he's got because of Charlie Brown, and puts a price on Charlie's head, a price so high the Peanuts gang are willing to collect. The animation never got polished and painted, but it's still 3 minutes of irreverent fun. Recently stumbled across it on YouTube (although there seems to be some trouble with the sound). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDHhAamRjOE Last Edited By: BijouBob8mm Mar 20 08 8:42 AM.

(But then, this looked a bit rough to begin with.) Could sit comfortably on the shelf next to the likes of BAMBI MEETS GODZILLA. You know, I had almost forgotten about this. Recently picked up the Charlie Brown Easter Beagle special (Warner now has the rights to a number of the Peanuts shows previously released from Paramount, releasing them as Special Editions), and it jogged the memory.
