Exhibition of Rare Animation Cels the Art of Peanuts Animation FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 4, 2012 Rare animation cel from television special It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, first broadcast date October 27, 1966. This cel survived Schulz’s 1966 studio fire. It took 40,000 cels to create one special and very few cels from A Charlie Brown Christmas and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown are in existence today. Copyright line for image above: Peanuts © 1966 Peanuts Worldwide LLC Exhibition of Rare Animation Cels Schulz Museum Celebrates the Holiday Season with The Art of Peanuts Animation (Santa Rosa, CA) Peanuts has been associated with the holidays since that December evening in 1965 when A Charlie Brown Christmas was broadcast on television for the first time. Forty- seven years later, the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center is highlighting the artifacts that made this possible with an exhibition featuring 16 original never-before- displayed Peanuts animation drawings and cels, including five cels rescued from Schulz’s 1966 studio fire. The Art of Peanuts Animation: Production Cels from the Museum’s Collection runs Wednesday, October 3, 2012 through Sunday, February 3, 2013. Timed to coincide with the November 7, 2012 launch of the new Chronicle book The Art and Making of Peanuts Animation by Charles Solomon, this exhibit includes rare original production cels from animated Peanuts classics: A Charlie Brown Christmas; It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown; and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Visitors will also see cels from numerous other animated specials from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, and be able to view selected full-length animated specials in the Museum’s theater. 2301 Hardies Lane ● Santa Rosa, CA 95403 U.S.A. ● 707.579.4452 ● Fax 707.579.4436 www.SchulzMuseum.org © 2011 Charles M. Schulz Museum | ALL RIGHTS RESERVED | A non-profit 501(c)(3) organization PEANUTS © 2011 Peanuts Worldwide, LLC Rare Cels Survive Fire at Schulz’s Studio Several of the animation cels in the Museum’s collection survived a fire at Schulz’s Coffee Grounds Studio in 1966. These original cels from the animated television specials It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Christmas were donated to the Museum by Schulz’s neighbor who recovered the cels from the studio after the fire. Programming Events: Saturday, December 1 at 1:00 pm Join Lee Mendelson, executive producer of the classic Peanuts animated specials, and Charles Solomon, internationally respected animation historian and author of the new Chronicle book The Art and Making of Peanuts Animation, as they talk about the making of Peanuts animated specials. Background on Classic Peanuts Animation Given the critical and popular acclaim for A Charlie Brown Christmas after its first showing in 1965, it was only six short months later that the next Peanuts special, Charlie Brown’s All-Stars, hit the airwaves. From then on, and for the next several decades, Peanuts fans could look forward to a steady stream of animated prime time television specials and feature films. A trio consisting of Charles Schulz, director/animator Bill Melendez, and producer Lee Mendelson produced six animated specials and one feature film in the 1960s; 12 specials and two films in the 1970s; 14 specials, one film, a Saturday morning cartoon program, The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show (1983-1986), and an eight-part mini-series, This Is America, Charlie Brown (1988-1989) in the 1980s; and six specials in the 1990s. Rare animation cel from television special A Charlie Brown Christmas first broadcast on December 9, 1965. This cel survived Schulz’s 1966 studio fire.

  • You're a Good Man Charlie Brown Character
    YOU’RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN CHARACTER INFORMATION Snoopy Snoopy is an extroverted beagle with a Walter Mitty complex. He is a virtuoso at every endeavor- at least in his daydreams atop his doghouse. He regards his master, Charlie Brown, as "that round-headed kid" who brings him his supper dish. He is fearless though prudently cautious about "the cat next door." He never speaks- that would be one human trait too many- but he manages to convey everything necessary in facial expressions and thought balloons. A one-man show with superior intelligence and vivid imagination, he has created such multiple personalities as: Joe Cool, World War I Flying Ace, Literary Ace, Flashbeagle, Vulture, Foreign Legionnaire, etc. Lucy Lucy Van Pelt works hard at being bossy, crabby and selfish. She is loud and yells a lot. Her smiles and motives are rarely pure. She's a know-it-all who dispenses advice whether you want it or not--and for Charlie Brown, there's a charge. She's a fussbudget, in the true sense of the word. She's a real grouch, with only one or two soft spots, and both of them may be Schroeder, who prefers Beethoven. As she sees it, hers is the only way. The absence of logic in her arguments holds a kind of shining lunacy. When it comes to compliments, Lucy only likes receiving them. If she's paying one--or even smiling--she's probably up to something devious . Charlie Brown Charlie Brown wins your heart with his losing ways. It always rains on his parade, his baseball game, and his life.

  • A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS Synopsis
    A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS Based on the television special by Bill Melendez Synopsis One Act (55 minutes) Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and all your favorite Peanuts characters come together to retell a classic story about finding the true meaning of Christmas. It’s almost Christmas and the kids are enjoying the season. Well, everyone except for Charlie Brown. While the others ice skate, throw snowballs, and receive Christmas cards, Charlie Brown is feeling depressed about the holiday. Even Snoopy, dressed as Santa, is getting in on the fun. The kids catch snowflakes on their tongues (although Lucy informs the group she only eats January snow), create a snowman, and throw snowballs at a can (which Linus eventually knocks down with his blanket). But, in spite of all the merriment, Charlie Brown is still sad about Christmas. Charlie Brown decides he needs to talk to someone about his sorrow. He goes to see doctor Lucy. Lucy, after happily accepting his money for her service, asks Charlie Brown what he fears. He reveals that he’s feeling down about Christmas. Lucy’s remedy? Charlie Brown needs involvement and she finally convinces him to direct the Christmas play. Much to Charlie Brown’s dismay, Snoopy is decorating his doghouse for Christmas in an effort to win prize money. Meanwhile, Linus and Lucy are attempting to craft the perfect letter to Santa Claus. And, reluctantly, Charlie Brown even helps his little sister, Sally, write her letter to Santa. It’s Charlie Brown’s first rehearsal as director of the Christmas play. However, things quickly go awry.

    TOPICS Welcome to Joshua Tree. Sigi Schmid, former Galaxy My kingdom for a chargi Sorry about the shutdown. coach, dies at 65 station: one electric­vehi Now, about the toilets … driver's frustrating searc ENVELOPE ENTERTAINMENT Peanuts comic will come to life in French TV series By CHRIS O'BRIEN DEC 25, 2014 | Normaal Studios in Paris will be producing a series of computer­animated television shorts based on the classic Peanuts comic strip for French audiences. (Normaal Studios) Lucy van Pelt sits, as she has for decades, with her arms folded at a desk under a sign that reads "Psychiatrist Help 5¢." Snoopy, the enigmatic beagle owned by Charlie Brown, sits on a small wooden stool. Lucy's frustration grows as Snoopy remains unimpressed by her hapless attempts to diagnose the source of his anxiety. Finally, Lucy delivers one of her classic, comic broadsides: "On va construire une bonne relation patient­thérapeute, sinon j'te ratatine le museau!" she screams. "Tu comprends ca?" Welcome to the new television Peanuts series, en francais. (Translation: "We're going to have a good doctor-patient relationship, or I'm going to slug you! Do you understand?") Debuting last month, these 500 cartoon shorts featuring the iconic American characters are being scripted, animated and broadcast only in France. While that might seem like a puzzling choice to American audiences, the move is part of an ambitious business strategy to bring Peanuts to new generations of children around the world. Those plans also include a computer-animated feature film scheduled to open in 2015.
