Short Film: A Charlie Brown Christmas Reunion (2012)

Way back in October, 2016, we unearthed the old but perennially entertaining student film, Bring the Head of Charlie Brown (1986). 
Darned if we didn't stumble upon another fun short that takes aim at CB and the Peanuts gang. This short is actually more Christmas-themed and thus would perhaps be more appropriate for December, but not only did we notice the full year since the last time we looked at the Peanuts, but Christmas shit is already in the stores anyways.

"The first strip from October 2, 1950. From left to right: Charlie Brown, Shermy, and Patty."

A Charlie Brown Christmas Reunion is far less violent and ridiculous and guffaw-inducing than last year's Head, but for that oddly effective and affective and closer to the bone.
The short is the product of the fine people at ADHD (Animation Domination High Def), many of whose past projects deserve rediscovery. Till then, welcome to life and aging.
