Snoopy Speaks! And Other Times Peanuts Broke Its Own Rules - Cynical Adult Watches Cartoons

If you watch enough Charlie Brown specials, you'll learn the

rules

pretty quickly. Snoopy only

speaks

with non-verbal vocalizations. Adults never appear on screen. You want me to hit erasers. Yes, Miss Sophomore. And when those

adult

s off screen talk. It's what they sound like, the answer is, but what if I told you that the latter isn't always true? Patty, do you have the answer to the problems solved? So, there are things that you experience for the first time that connect with you, that resonate with you and become your new favorite things,

other

s are like Scooby-Doo. I've talked about how that's my all-time comfort food cartoon because it was always there Saturday morning weekday reruns before school weekday reruns after school there was always some iteration that filled airtime and then You get to Be a Cynical Adult and realize that, practically by osmosis, Scooby-Doo is something you feel a strong personal connection to.

The same goes for this fool. You grow up during a certain time. You're surrounded by these characters, not just at Christmas, although it's legit. Not only did Dolly Madison's Christmas continue to plant their flags on

other

holidays, but there would also be other specials throughout the year drawn from the daily source material. Your school library is filled with collections of paperbacks that could be devoured several at a time during a long trip. rides, plus you have these characters on everything, there are toys, school supplies, plates, Snoopy, Charlie Brown, some

times

the whole gang and if you want to beat the heat during the summer, you don't realize they still do this, so again, basically, without realizing it, I grew up knowing quite a bit about the creation of Charles Schultz by watching all those specials.

I learned the three

rules

pretty quickly and it caught my attention when they were

broke

n. She is a good skater. Charlie Brown premiered in 1980. The focus is on Peppermint Patty as she trains to enter an ice skating competition with Snoopy as her coach. The only thing I believe is the encouraging words of my coach. The special is an adaptation of a series of comic strips from 1974. It's a nice low-key, lesser-known story since it's not tied to a holiday and it's a nice touching role for Peppermint Patty, who isn't usually the center of attention, that's good, eh, there's some animation from enjoyable skating draws from reference material of real skaters, including Charles Schultz's daughter Amy, and however you play her, the dynamic between Peppermint Patty and Marcy is always entertaining I can't sew sir, that's all, can you make me an outfit red with a lot of sequins, not very good for listening, are you, sir?

One of Peppermint Patty's defining traits is that she is bad at school, gets confused, doesn't pay attention, falls asleep, is probably on the ADHD and autism spectrum, and is from a time when they didn't even have Ritalin. yet, so naturally we have some scenes of her in class, but where you would expect the off-screen teacher's voice to be the standard muted trombone I'm awake I'm awake Patricia are you aware of what's going on? No, ma'am, I don't know what's happening but I'm awake. It happens again later when they are going to buy some fabric for their skating outfit.

How about the denim? Are you sure the denim will stretch enough? This is something I noticed when the special aired in 1980, but back then there was no YouTube and believe me when I tell you, none of the kids at school cared that much. That was a strange anomaly, but at least the other two rules still apply. Oh wait, they've shown a lot of

adult

s starting with the fourth feature Bon Voyage Charlie Brown, also from 1980. Bon Voyage took Charlie Brown and a small group on a trip to England and France pan noble civil work Mercy the movie was mostly a chance for Schultz to revisit his own experiences in World War II as such, the plot doesn't really begin until about the 50th minute mark of this 75-minute film, when we get a info dump about Charlie Brown's grandfather, Silas Brown, and the castle where he was stationed in the war and for some reason this story of the Brown family is given to Linus.

Bon Voyage was a departure from the previous Charlie Brown films that would broaden the scope of the stories, but the Stakes would still be small-scale and character-focused and there would be no meaningful interactions with adults. Here, even with Dallas Brown, we both see and hear a lot of adults, none of whom seemed all that affected by some eight-year-olds in a beagle wandering around Europe unsupervised. Something drastic has happened. to do and there are no American guests, we will teach classes, but in English and French it is a little complicated to understand these Yankees. The taxi driver had more dialogue than Lucy, so this time there was a reason to hear adult voices, but by researching this video, I think I may have found the answer I was looking for or at least enough to make some presumptuous assumptions: she She's a Good Skater, Charlie Brown and Bon Voyage Charlie Brown and Don't Come Back were both released in 1980 and shared the same voice cast for the children's characters, meaning they probably recorded both projects at the same time and since they knew we'd hear adults in Bon Voyage, decided not to hire Dean Hubbard, their regular trombone player, for the few lines of adult dialogue in She's a Good Skater.

Actors from Bon Voyage fight movies were used in the front and back sections, the movie The Laughing Bunnies will be shown, as well as the mischievous Marietta in the middle section. See you later, Chuck, I'm going to the middle section. It's even possible that the trombone was planned for her. She's a good one. skating problem number six and since they were busy trying to make a regular series of TV specials and a movie, they didn't realize they didn't have a trombone until it was too late and they realized what the heck, so that's it my theory. free to debate discuss holes, I'll even start why couldn't they just reuse the trombone recordings they already had yours in the comments or me on Twitter.

The other thing I discovered in my research is that in both projects Peppermint Patty was played by Patricia patz that story again Patty patz played Patty the adults made more animated appearances but most of them were in spin-off projects where they would be cosplaying of some questionable stories from American history, so call out those that aren't canon if you have to, this was also the last feature film with the characters until the Peanuts movie in 2015 and one more instance I discovered while researching this video that I think It is quite significant in terms of adult sightings, we have had many randos, some historical figures and a grandfather. but in the 1983 special it's this Goodbye Charlie Brown, we see real parents repeat, we have a parent sighting, recap so quick that Linus and Lucy's father gets a new job and the family is moving, there are reactions, searches of soul, emotional goodbyes, good things, but this is what I wanted you to see the family van that they are taking out here, they freeze, yes, zoom in, improve, right there, see from very far away and behind the frame of a window are the Mr. and Mrs.

Van Pelt, we have parents, we have been through the Mirando. Glass here people, oh and spoiler for a 40 year old cartoon, the father changes his mind and they return to Dolly Madison, so we have both heard and seen adults, but at least Snoopy is still yes of course Snoopy has spoken, There have been two stages. Strip-based musicals, the first from 1967 being the Off-Broadway classic You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, which I guarantee your high school did at some point. Mine was done when he was 17 years old. And I tried really hard to get the tape. The musical was adapted into animation in 1985.

And in the show, unlike the

cartoons

, Snoopy talks, but in my opinion it seems like something is missing that was exactly what was needed, it even has a couple of songs. A cozy home, bored in bed, a sturdy roof under my head, no. Bad, not bad, if I can make any unfounded assumptions, I guess the reasoning was: how are you going to do it? You're a good man, Charlie Brown, and you won't have Snoopy singing at dinner, so the rule was lifted, although there were still plenty of them. of Snoopy's vocalizations, you have to be careful with every little voice of Snoopy that

speaks

and sings.

The voice was performed by Robert Towers, a television host and stage veteran who had played the role in the original. The Cast took over the role when they adapted the sequel Snoopy the Musical Stealing the Show My Mom Wouldn't Know Her Puppies and Even the This date was the last time Snoopy spoke in the Dolly Madison animation. We're all used to this depiction of Snoopy, but where did it come from in Snoopy's first appearances in the comics? He was much more. Dog-like and like later

cartoons

, he had sounds and reactions, but no speech or thought balloons.

He first shared his inner monologue in 1952 and gradually developed that rich inner life for which he is known, but the story goes that when Schultz animator Bill Melendez and producer Lee Mendelson were developing A Charlie Brown Christmas, for quote the New York Times. Shields couldn't stand the idea of ​​a beagle delivering English dialogue, so Melendez basically put Blair on a microphone and sped him up, and that became part of his job for 40 years. He also provided the voice for Woodstock playing both roles until his death in 2008 and his recordings were reused in the film Peanuts and the tradition has continued to this day in Peanuts projects from different studios with various actors playing a microphone, a treatment that believe.

What is a little underrated is the series called Peanuts Motion Comics. These three minute shorts consisted of direct adaptations of classic peanut strips, too tired to even get for Subway, well you know what I'm going to do just to show you I'm a good boy, I'm going to fix it so you can eat without getting up , released on iTunes in 2008 and currently available here on YouTube, looked and played like you'd expect from a cartoon from Charlie Brown to Vince Guaraldi and smooth. Jazz, how can you do your schoolwork without an eraser? Are you implying that I'm the guy?

Then you get to Snoopy. It's another way of indicating that this is his inner monologue rather than an English dialogue delivered by a beagle that your Van Gogh was not. Hurt a bit again if you want to be pedantic about it and again this is all in contrast to the comics where the rules once established held firm not counting the occasional Shrine to Beethoven. The last adults in the strip were seen in 1954 when Lucy joined a golf tournament there, they were shown from the neck down or from a distance, as far as I know we have heard the adults in the strip twice from Grandma of Linus and Lucy basically because a joke needed to land, and some

times

when I watched TV but if I'm wrong again I get yelled at in the comments or on Twitter once Snoopy's internal monologue was firmly established, the conceit was also used and stayed with me here, the school building, which he philosophized about being a school building and had a soft spot for Sally, so once those rules were in place, Charles Schultz generally followed them and there was another thing: he deliberately avoided a character he didn't show even when the cartoons did.

It is a topic that you will be surprised to discover. I have a lot to say but that's for another video before I go, did you catch the new face? Here's the full piece, it even has Da Vinci in there, that's the work of the talented Ruby egg rolls who I commissioned after she published this amazing me. -portrait on the Bob Burgers subreddit and one last question, what's your dance etiquette while you're down there liking and subscribing why it's a little complicated for me to understand these Yankees oh?
