You're the Greatest, Charlie Brown

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You're the Greatest, Charlie Brown is one of many prime-time animated TV specials based upon the popular comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz. It was originally aired on the CBS network in 1979.

Instead of going to camp, Charlie Brown finds himself competing in the decathlon at the Junior Olympics. He begins rigorous training, watched every step of the way by Marcie, who is proud of him for competing. When the event begins, Charlie Brown finds himself competing against Marcie, who is entered as backup for their school, Freddy Fabulous from Fremont School (the defending champ), and the Masked Marvel (Snoopy in disguise) from "Ace Obedience School." He places well in some events, but does poorly in others. He makes up for it by winning both the discus and javelin, putting him in first place. All he must do to win the decathlon is win the 1500-metre run. Unfortunately, he closes his eyes to dream of his victory, and ends up running down the wrong path. Marcie wins the race and the decathlon, but everybody (especially Marcie) is proud of him for doing his best.
