Why is this even a thing? This is one of the most heinous, vile, wicked, evil things I have ever seen done to a franchise. I haven't seen the whole short, only a tiny bit here and there, and no, I'm not watching the whole thing. I have standards. But I read more about it on the wiki, and, it's disgusting. First of all, I get that this was just meant to be a joke and that it was made without the involvement of Schulz and that this is a fan film, but I don't care. It is just WAY too gruesome for it's own good. Linus strangling Charlie Brown?! Snoopy getting shot?! Snoopy biting off Charlie Brown's arm?! Sally having her head chopped off with an axe?! What in the world am I looking at?!?! And Charlie Brown holding guns and shooting at the others, and the ending of him having a cigarette with the Little Red Haired Girl next to him?! (although I don't think she's smoking she's just in another bed next to Chuck) How in this green and blue planet can ANYONE find this funny/entertaining?! No! This isn't funny! Everyone is out of character. It's way too brutal. It's about the characters trying to kill Charlie Brown for absolutely NO reason, in which they would NEVER do. It has a kid smoking, yeah, SMOKING! This is one of the most abominable things I've ever seen out of a franchise, especially one that is centered around kids' struggles and adventures in everyday life, their dynamics, messages that are told in certain stories. This is a franchise I grew up with. I think the very first one I saw was either the Christmas special or the Halloween special, and I'm pretty sure I saw a few times with my friends back in elementary school(like maybe 2nd grade, I'm 17 now) and I had a good time. Again I know people look at this like it's a Youtube thing, as this hidden joke or whatever, but here's the thing. This was produced back in 1986. Yeah, the same year Happy New Year Charlie Brown premiered. I NEVER thought that something like this could be done to the franchise back then. Nowadays, it might make sense, because that's just how people are now, unfortunately, but even back then?! How?! Look, I'm not gonna let this fan film ruin the Peanuts for me, because it can't. I grew up with this franchise. I've seen its many highs and many lows, but THIS is the bottom of the barrel. I hold no bitterness toward the people involved in its creation, but, no.
