Charlie Brown is on the run from the Peanuts Gang after the Great Pumpkin puts a bounty on his head in this wild ... animated student short by Jim Reardon.
According to someone I know in the animation trade, Charles Schulz was shown this on video at an animation convention. Jim Reardon and friends supposedly managed to talk Schulz into watching the film to get his opinion. He reportedly sat silent and motionless as he watched it. After it was finished he stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "Very clever, very funny, but just don't do it again, okay?" That was it.
It’s super hard to believe this was made in 1986. It has the exact same energy as those 2010 Newgrounds animation parodies down to the voice acting and absurd, random bouts of violence. Legit wondering if the guy that made this was a time traveler.
this is like newgrounds before newgrounds was newgrounds jesus christ
Why does the narrator sound like he’s about to burst into laughter anytime now
Be honest, you didn’t search for this video
This 13 year old video was recommended to me during Devil's hour.
This sounds like a fan-fiction written by an edgy teenager.
I’m surprised some edgy twelve year old didn’t turn this into a creepy pasta lmao

I'm glad parodies like this exist that improve our childhood

this is edgy for it’s time, but incredibly humorous today.
“And a one and a two and...”
Fun fact: This short got Jim Reardon a job animating for The Simpsons.
