Poor Charlie Brown. He can't fly a kite, and he always loses in baseball.!Having his faults projected onto a screen by Lucy doesn't help him much either. Against the sage advice and taunting of the girls in his class, he volunteers for the class spelling bee.....and wins! Next, it's the school spelling bee. Once again, a winner! Good grief! Now the pressure is on as he is off to New York City for the televised national spelling bee. With Snoopy and Linus present for moral support, can Charlie Brown spell his way to a national championship? Written by 'Peanuts' creator Charles M. Schulz, this is the first full-length feature version of the adventures of Charlie Brown and the rest of the 'Peanuts' gang, including Snoopy, Peppermint Patty, Pig Pen and Linus.
