This Peanuts TV special may not be the most famous Charlie Brown story, but it is just as good as many of the other great specials of the 1960s and 1970s.

Casper and Wendy’s Ghostly Adventures comes with fourteen different adventures. While the title includes Wendy’s name, this is really Casper’s collection. The DVD spans eleven years between 1951 and 1962, although the fourteen cartoons are not in chronological order. However, they can be categorized into three different themes: Casper looking for a friend, Casper and Friends (the story usually focusing on the friends rather than on Casper), and Casper’s adventures (although usually still looking for a friend).

The Matrix‘s Wachowski Brothers are back with a brightly colored antidote to all that doom and gloom, and it’s a surprisingly intelligent and entertaining adventure for all the family!

Rankin/Bass’ seasonal adventure is among the better of their late 1970s output, with some nice touches and a fine presentation on this otherwise barebones re-issue.

This documentary was made for television in 1963. Though it has never aired, it did bring together Charles Schulz, Lee Mendelson, Bill Melendez, and Vince Guaraldi, leading to a partnership that would produce many wonderful TV specials. This special DVD is a wonderful gem for Peanuts fans.

Schoolhouse Rock is re-released in a limited edition covering the American political process just in time for the Presidential Campaign of 2008. Who will run the White House for the next four years, Republicans or Democrats? We will not know until November, but the 15 shorts included in this edition cover many of the major issues in a way that even children can understand them.

Do cat and canary chases mix with mysteries? Sometimes yes, sometimes less so, but this is overall a nice little show.

This terrific tour of the Walt Disney Studios in its 1940s heyday is fantastically entertaining, and this new disc, while not including any extras, at least provides a way for a catch up for first timers, or a backup for those with the original Treasures collection.

It’s another Peanuts classic, as Linus is subjected to ridicule over his belief that The Great pumpkin will visit him in the pumpkin patch on Halloween night. A lesser but still pretty good special is also on the disc, as well as a nifty featurette.
