This is the SADDEST of the Peanuts specials!

And, I thought that scene in "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" was sad. I'm referring to the scene where Schroder keeps switching tunes and making Snoopy change from being cheerful to crying. That doesn't hold a candle to how sad "Snoopy Come Home" is.

Although it's not sad all the way through, the sad parts are extremely dramatic. For me, the saddest parts are during Snoopy's farewell party (except when Snoopy opens up all the presents to reveal many bones) and the extremely dramatic song we hear Charlie Brown sing in a voiceover. It's especially sad when Charlie Brown pours himself a bowl of cereal, but is too sad to even eat it. It really is impossible to watch without shedding some tears.

Anyone with dry eyes after watching this movie must have no emotion at all. I haven't seen this film in many years, but I just watched it very recently on YouTube and it brought back all the same emotions as when I last watched it years ago. While a few scenes are happy...and, dare I say, comical...the intensely sad scenes more than make up for them. Even at the end when Snoopy finally comes home, I can't help but shed tears because of how sad this movie has been just 5 minutes earlier. I can't cheer up THAT quickly.
