I was moved about the children sending Charlie Brown their candy. Children truly are a marvel. I watch The Great Pumpkin every year. Halloween wouldn't be the same without it.
The children truly are a marvel! I also heard that they sent Charlie Brown valentines after watching the special where he didn't receive any! I'm not counting the used one that Violet gave him!
I watch The Great Pumpkin and Charlie Brown Christmas every year and Im 47 years old! These were a part of my childhood and since they are on dvd I dont have to worry about adjusting the antenna! 😂
Well I'm 65 and I adore The Great Pumpkin! I've watched it every year since it first aired and to both my wife and I, it's the harbinger of and begins the always lovely holiday season!
Disappointed, they moved the specials onto Apple TV, just a selfish move. They care about money, not realizing nobody’s going to pay for Apple tv when every year we look forward to watching on National tv
Lucy wasn't the first character to prevent Charlie Brown from kicking the football. The first time this gag was shown was in a November 14, 1951 Peanuts comic strip where Violet, balancing a football for Charlie Brown to kick, feared he would kick her hand. She cowered at his approach causing the football to tip over and allow Charlie Brown to spectacularly miss the football. The first time Lucy pulled the football was in a Sunday, November 16, 1952 strip (when Lucy was a lot more innocent). At first, Lucy pulls the football away from Charlie Brown because she didn't want 'anyone with dirty shoes kicking my new football'. Charlie Brown scolds her saying 'Don't ever do that again! [Little did he know!] ...This time hold it tight!' With one finger, Lucy balances the ball so tightly that Charlie Brown trips over it. The one time Charlie Brown comes close to kicking the football is in a August 2, 1979 Peanuts strip. Earlier, Charlie Brown is ill in the hospital and Linus learns that Lucy promised to hold the football, if he returns home. After returning home, Charlie Brown is excited to learn of this promise but while attempting to kick the football, misses it and kicks Lucy's hand and finger instead (almost fulfilling Violet's original fear in 1951). The next strip has Charlie Brown asking Lucy if there is anything he can do to make up for his error, to which Lucy (in a cast) replies 'Next time you go to the hospital, stay there!'. In February, 2000, after finishing the final Peanuts strip, Charles Schulz was saddened to realize that Charlie Brown never did kick the football, but stated it would have been some kind of disservice to the character if he ultimately succeeded.
I honestly hadn't watched this since I was a teenager until this year.... I'm 42 now! I loved the, "I gotta rock…" joke when I was younger! But I always thought he said it once, not multiple times.... Until I saw the complete version of it this year.... Guess I always saw the edited version when I was younger....
Did you guys ever notice when Linus Finishes Writing his Letter to the Great Pumpkin and he goes to Mail his Letter he walks past Lucy who is Sitting in front of the TV and She's reading the TV Guide and She's on the Cover of the TV Guide
When I was a kid, I used to act out the scene where Linus mistakes Snoopy for the Great Pumpkin with my dad. I was Linus, he did Snoopy's howl. However, I thought Linus said, "What happened? Did I paint? What did he leave us? Did he leave us any toys?" My dad had to correct me every time.
I love your videos!! I honestly don’t understand why they don’t get more views. One suggestion though: I don’t think you should put the number of facts in the title of the video, because if you are only doing 8 or 7 or less facts in a video that might make people lose interest. But keep it up
Fun Fact Films I know this might sound like a lot, but 15 or more provides interest for me. You don’t have to listen to me though, because other people might still have interest in your video with a number less than that. You also don’t even have to put the number in the title because everybody has their certain interests. I still love watching your videos, and I hope you keep up what you’re doing.
Timeless TV greatness. Although what kind of demented adults would give poor Charlie Brown rocks? Actually, I'm surprised that, even though there is such a thing as rock candy (which you don't see much of anymore), nobody's ever manufactured Charlie Brown candy "rocks" to give to trick-or-treaters. Maybe Schulz refused to license it, as he did a Charlie Brown baseball glove ("Nobody would be able to catch a ball with it").
Well like Ray Bradbury I didn’t love it but I did like it as time passed. the idea of the great pumpkin never showing was brilliant as a contrast to Santa. But I still hate the cut animation with Coca Cola and little Debbie scene cut out its awkward when the owl hoots then it cuts away.
Actually it wasn't Santa....it was Jesus, as Schulz had gotten away (stuck to his guns) w/the biblical verse in CBC......the network was not going to allow it to be in this special......even in the strips the GP represented faith...and sticking to your beliefs even when others don't or "persecute" you for doing so....great vid tho....thanks for producing that!
Hmm, no I think Linus's faith in the Great Pumpkin was Schultz allegory about Christianity - Schultz's respect for what he saw as the blind faith of its adherents in the face of a godless reality.
I’ve been watching this program every year since it’s beginning and I’m 62. It never gets old!
ME TOO i AM 52

The Great Pumpkin is my Halloween tradition! Even though I'm 45 I will always watch It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown every Halloween!
#7, "Even though you believe in something with all your heart, it doesn't make that thing real." - Shultz
1:44 I think you can hear the cuts in the scene
I watched It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown every year until 2019 I think 🤔
I used to watch this every fall in elementary school, along with the Thanksgiving special as well!
Don't forget the Christmas special too. All three of them on ABC, every year.
Christian Gonzales be my valentine Charlie Brown too
I don’t care that I’m young adult I watch it every year
Yes we do watch
My favorite character is Snoopy because he is so funny and his relationship with Woodstock is so sweet! What's your favorite character?
Schroder, Linus & Violet!
Disappointed, they moved the specials onto Apple TV, just a selfish move. They care about money, not realizing nobody’s going to pay for Apple tv when every year we look forward to watching on National tv
I am 56 years old and I still to this day watch the Great Pumpkin special! It's how I prepare for the fall.
You aren’t the only one brother !

I sure do watch it every year.
Does Linus decided to say a few words about the great pumpkin at the end of this Peanuts movie?
Every holiday, we would watch Charlie Brown growing up. Now, my son and I watch them.
That’s a fun tradition to pass on. Good quality time with kids around the holidays.
@@FunFactFilms My wife can't stand Charlie Brown! LOL! My son and I love it!
Uh oh! What bothers her about them?
@@FunFactFilms She just finds incredibly boring. I know, she's crazy but I love her. LOL!
Nice to be able to agree to disagree 😂
I like the Great pumpkin. its classic.
Lol.
Really enjoy the video.
The i love snoopy the dog.
He is amazing.
🐶😀👍
Have you been a long time fan of the comics or just the cartoons?
@@FunFactFilms well cartoon.
And toys
Cool. I didn’t know they had toys too
@@FunFactFilms yes.
Also the is this toy with snoopy wich is very soft.
So wich movie or cartoon well you tell next.
We wouldn't miss it each year!
I HATE the football “gag” it’s why I’ll always try to tune in a few minutes late for the Thanksgiving episode
When it's Thanksgiving can you do a Charlie Brown thanks giving
Definitely a possibility. Thanks for the suggestion Kristy!
Cool Video I watched Charlie Brown when I was Little
Nice Magic! Did you read the comics too?
Fun Fact Films I’m 20 and I still watch it
yep have that on dvd also
You bet I watch it every year!
I am a big time supporter and love Peanuts! I play the Great Pumpkin at my house every year on Halloween over and over visible and hearable!
Watch it every year. Always felt that they were talking about Santa Claws.
I honestly hadn't watched this since I was a teenager until this year.... I'm 42 now! I loved the, "I gotta rock…" joke when I was younger! But I always thought he said it once, not multiple times.... Until I saw the complete version of it this year.... Guess I always saw the edited version when I was younger....
I got a rock...
You never told me you were going to kill it, still funny 58 years later
You forgot the easter egg where Lucy is reading the TV Guide, and she's on the cover.
I got the 5 disc DVD set. I watching it every Fri, Sat and Sun until Halloween
Yes we do.... it's one of must movies in the coming fall and Christmas seasons .
It's not Halloween for me if I don't watch It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. Thanks for the fun facts!
You’re welcome Melissa👍
Charlie Brown should have taken those rocks and broke the windows of the cruel people who gave them to him.
This one is my favorite. I always loved Halloween
Thats cool 👹👹 happpy Halloween
Same to you 🎃 👻!
Did you guys ever notice when Linus Finishes Writing his Letter to the Great Pumpkin and he goes to Mail his Letter he walks past Lucy who is Sitting in front of the TV and She's reading the TV Guide and She's on the Cover of the TV Guide
I still watch it T the age of 57 😀 it’s part of my American heritage
🤢At least the little girl threw up after and not during her recording sessions.🤷🏻♀️
You literally can’t have a Halloween and not watch a classic Peanuts Movie
Not watching Charlie Brown is like Committing Treason
I watch this every year 🎃
How long have you been watching it every year?
Same
Fun Fact Films since I was kid growing up in the 80’s 😀🎃
Nice! Sounds like we’re about the same age then.
"I got a rock" ):
Yep doesn’t seem like a holiday unless I watch a Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas Charlie Brown shows
I watch "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" Every Halloween on Every Year.
0:09 puked
0:31 football gag
00:45 the flying ace
1:12 loose tooth
Why?
I forgot I wrote that
We watched this before TH-cam had videos about what we used to watch.
Sounds like it’s been a long-standing tradition then 😁

Thanks for the feedback Purple. So what number provides interest to you?
Fun Fact Films I know this might sound like a lot, but 15 or more provides interest for me. You don’t have to listen to me though, because other people might still have interest in your video with a number less than that. You also don’t even have to put the number in the title because everybody has their certain interests. I still love watching your videos, and I hope you keep up what you’re doing.
Fun Fact Films Also doing newer movies that have come out in the last decade or two, or notable movies that everybody would recognize
Most are from the past 20 years, save a few that are older classics. Which movies would you like to see in the future?
Yes every year it a tradition
Well, I’m glad her tooth gave her time to finish her lines.
It's the Only show that I watch that time of the year. I don't celebrate the so called holiday.
Although I love Santa, at least now I know why they created the Great Pumpkin (which to me, as a kid, was just too weird to understand). 😋
I am going on 40 and yet have never seen this. I am wondering where I have been.
I was just like that until I made the video last October.
Can you do far from home next?
Thanks for the suggestion!
Absolutely
Make a behind the sences of who framed Rodger rabbit
I'd like to see a live action version of the Peanuts characters.
Wow, how did you leave out the fact that in one scene, Lucy is reading a copy of TV Guide and her picture is on the cover?
Cool! I didn't even notice!

I feel bad for violet and frieada.
I own it so it is watched more then once
Yes

I didn’t. Did you enjoy it compared to the cartoons?
Yeah (fun fact!) the peanuts movie was the first peanuts film in 35 years! Did you know that?
I don't like the flying ace scenes, but otherwise I love this film
Great Movie
Have you been a long time fan?
@@FunFactFilms since 1 and half years ago and you are the best
Got lucy sour
The football and Lucy "gag" is no longer amusing and much less funny. It is okd and increasingly cruel. Time to get over it.
RIGHT ON ✅️ ↔️ 👉
I actually like to watch it but it is a collab
If you don't know what it is it's the great pumpkin collab Charlie Brown!
It's a wonderful show, but it is most certainly not a film.
Actually it wasn't Santa....it was Jesus, as Schulz had gotten away (stuck to his guns) w/the biblical verse in CBC......the network was not going to allow it to be in this special......even in the strips the GP represented faith...and sticking to your beliefs even when others don't or "persecute" you for doing so....great vid tho....thanks for producing that!
No
Todays the day
Hmm, no I think Linus's faith in the Great Pumpkin was Schultz allegory about Christianity - Schultz's respect for what he saw as the blind faith of its adherents in the face of a godless reality.
