SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
huggibear I have never seen this episode 1 of 8 in the Series. Neither have I seen any of the other 7. I'm ready to remember my history surrounding the reason why Thanksgiving is a National Holiday and the traditions we have developed from this holiday. This is a good history lesson and reminder for all, especially children. So far, I have only seen this one about the Mayflower voyage. I'm eager to see the others in this series though. ABC played this bonus cartoon immediately after 'A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving' and that was cool. It definitely sheds light on a memory about an important piece of our American history.
Rodrageous The quality that went into these shows were amazing. During the 1980's nobody could hold a candle to the quality of programming CBS was running. Whether it was their prime time specials featuring Peanuts and Garfield or their Saturday morning lineup, CBS showed quality animation.In this series of specials, we see the peanuts gang explore the history of America. Coming the all American spirit of the characters with a very mature look at history, we're rewarded with a splendid display of what animation can be when it is done correctly.I just can't believe these specials are now 16 years old. We need more quality programming like this on TV today.
Templeton Moss This is a wonderful series! No grade school history class should be without it. Heck, no HIGH school history class! Each episode deals with a different period of American history including the Mayflower, famous inventors, the pioneer days, the forging of the Constitution and the space age. Featuring some wonderful music from America's heritage and great (don't laugh, I mean it) performances by Charlie and his friends, this is a prize-worthy tribute to our nation.
