Shout by Nancy L Draper

A Charlie Brown Christmas 1965

I have two TV movies that are my favourites at Christmastime. This is one and the other is THE GRINCH THAT STOLE CHRISTMAS. Linus' recitation of the angel announcing Jesus' birth by to the shepherds echos in my heart every Christmas. This show bucked the network and almost didn't get aired. They felt America wouldn't receive it's clear message of Christmas hope and wanted it cut. They were against having children voice the Peanut's characters. The jazz musical score was considered too unconventional. But Schultz stood his ground and we reaped the benefits. I rate this short movie a 10 (favourite) out of 10. [Animated Christmas Special]
