- Quotes
Lucy: Look at this, a big yellow butterfly. It's unusual to see one of those at this time of year, unless of course, it flew up from Brazil. I'll bet that's it. They DO that sometimes, you know. They fly up from Brazil, and they...
Linus: [interrupting] This is no butterfly, this is a potato chip.
Lucy: Well, I'll be, so it is. I wonder how a potato chip got all the way up here from Brazil?

Featured review
'It Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown' is one of those specials that get better every scene with the ending being an outright classic. I did not grow up when this special was released nor did I ever watch it growing up, but this special is pretty good.
The whole premise is centered around the Peanuts gang at summer camp with a boys vs girls style that has you loving every minute of it. I'll admit it was a slow start but the special quickly gets itself together like Charlie Brown and the boys do. Character interactions are classic and Snoopy is getting his spectacular character written as you watch.
Its an underrated classic that should be watched seasonally along with the other classic Peanut specials!
