#Peanuts 11 (1974) - 8/10
It's a Mystery, #CharlieBrown.
1️⃣ Woodstock is the focus for the first 5 minutes, so there's no dialogue.
2️⃣ This is a story-driven instalment, and it's a strong plot as #Snoopy (in a deerstalker!) goes knocking on doors in the night to find his pal's stolen nest. Most of the interactions are clever and/or funny, particularly the events at #PeppermintPatty's house.
3️⃣ It all builds quite nicely into a long section with Lucy as a judge hearing the dispute between Woodstock and the thief.
4️⃣ And the final gag, with Snoopy as Pavlov's dog, is a strong finish to a very enjoyable half-hour.
5️⃣ There's a nice contrast between the last three specials. One was gag-filled and fast-paced, while the next was laid-back and lethargic, and this one is story-driven and clever.
