Charlie Brown's All-Stars

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charlie Brown's All-Stars is one of many prime-time animated TV specials based upon the popular comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz. It was the second such special to be produced and animated by Bill Melendez, and originally aired on the ABC network on June 8, 1966. It ceased to be aired annually by 1972. On March 2, 2004, it was released to DVD as a bonus special (along with It's Spring Training, Charlie Brown!) with Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown.

Charlie Brown's baseball team is facing a crisis: everybody is quitting because they never win a game. Mr. Hennessey, operator of a local hardware store, offers to sponsor Charlie Brown's team, and he's so excited that he tells everyone, and they play like they've never played before (though they still lose in the end). However, he refuses the offer because they would not allow girls or dogs to play on the team. Everyone leaves the team in disgust when Charlie Brown tells them that he refused the offer, but feel incredibly guilty when they find out his reason from Linus. To make amends for their actions, they make a baseball uniform for Charlie Brown out of the only cloth they have - Linus' blanket.
