A bit slow in spots, especially for little kids. Introduces "Woodstock" as Snoopy's birdie buddy and aspiring secretary. Two haunting songs: "No Dogs Allowed" and "Snoopy Come home." Other songs also, but not really a musical. Snoopy takes a long trip to visit his first owner, Lila, who is recovering in the Hospital. ("You got a used dog, Charlie Brown".) I rate it higher than some other critics because my 3 children almost ran the VHS copy to death. The fear(s) that it is a bit melancholy seem quite ridiculous, as not all "cartoons" have to be like "My Little Pony", do they? Not violent and very well-produced and animated. The closest it comes to controversy is a little spoiled girl "kidnapping" poor Snoopy (for a while) and dressing him up like a doll, against his will! At his farewell party, all Snoopy gets for presents are dog bones! (Woodstock keeps track of the presents.) Almost "Disney-like" in nature, and that is a big compliment. Snoopy does indeed finally come home, as expected, after all.
