Review
Linus and his blanket have always has a special connection all throughout the Peanuts special, even in A Charlie Brown Christmas (With the scene involving hitting a can with a snowball with the help of his blanket being one), so making a special about this makes a good deal of sense. Does it work though? Yea, it does. It all seems good and well, having some funny and yet some dramatic moments, which are a staple of the specials. The only thing I find wrong is the one scene dealing with Charlie Brown and his torment. Honesty I felt it went a bit too far (Gee, using the first comic strip to bash the character most associated with the comic strip? Ouch.), but it's still good, nonetheless.

Overall, I give it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
