Quote: I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown! centers on ReRun, the lovable but ever-skeptical younger brother of Linus and Lucy. It's Christmas vacation and, as usual, ReRun's big sister is stressing him out, so he decides to turn to his best friend, Snoopy, for amusement and holiday cheer. However his faithful but unpredictable beagle companion has plans of his own, giving ReRun reason to ask Snoopy to invite his canine brother Spike for a visit. When Spike shows up, it looks like ReRun will have a dog for Christmas after all... but then the real trouble begins.

Awesome cant wait to get this, By far a Day 1 for me, Does any1 know how many of these Remastered Deluxe Edition are they going to come out with????
Another Snoopy???!!! OMG I LOVE SNOOPY!!!
Dogs are for christmas, not just for life....
Oh no wait....
Oh no wait....
Warner, this is getting ridiculous! I would have expected them to quit with the Remastered Deluxe Editions after they started releasing the Decade Collections, but apparently they really do think we are that stupid. I was so happy with the way they were treating the Peanuts animated library, but they've really blown it. All these individual releases, then a box set that doesnt have any of the previous versions' bonus features (of the specials in the set, obviously), and then I'm sure that a good year from now there will be a Complete Definitive Box Set with all Peanuts specials ever. Why don't they just give it to us straight?
Charlie Brown & Co. deserve better than all this nonsensical release planning.
Also, I just wish they'd give the four theatrical Peanuts films a special box set already, as those were always my favorite growing up (they're the ones that were always on TV)!

Still waiting for the Blu-Ray. Though not Doubt I'll pick this One up.

Actually, I'd prefer to see them continue the Deluxe Editions, since it would mean more extras for the fans. Despite the relatively short running times, Warner has produced some nice featurettes documenting the series. If they merely dumped more than a dozen shorts into a single 70s or 80s collection, it would likely force them to forego any extras.
Besides, even though it seemed like a bad case of double-dipping at first, the recent 60s collection was surprisingly reasonable. For little more than the cost of a single Deluxe Edition, you got 3 new shorts + a new featurette that was twice as long as the others. Not a hard purchase to justify- even for fans that had faithfully collected the previous sets.
It's also worth noting that all of the shorts (including 8 not yet on dvd) have been available on iTunes since late 2008. So Warner has definitely done a respectable job of making them available to everyone- as opposed to marketing expensive collections to hardcore collectors.
I would like to see them pick up the pace a bit, though, and begin releasing the theatrical films.

I'm still waiting for "Bon Voyage Charlie Brown, and don't come back!" to make it's way to DVD so I can get rid of my VHS tape.
