UnCommon Belief...that's what I think of when I think of this Halloween Classic.
What possesses a boy to sit in a pumpkin patch, on Halloween, waiting for the mysterious and magical Great Pumpkin. A boy with UnCommon Belief, that's who.
While Charlie Brown's name may be in the title, this is most certainly the story of the blanket dragging Linus. Linus, a boy who doesn't care about what people think of him (notice blanket), a boy that holds true year after year waiting ever vigilanty for the tardive Great Pumpkin. That's dedication, my friends. That's UnCommon Belief!
Linus my hero.
Disappointment ultimately waits our hero, but he stands firm with his gal pal Sally. Tried and true, Linus stands firm...until the end or does he.
This may sound like a whole lot of hogwash, but I think this story has alot meaning. Don't get me started on "I got rock!"
It's Great Pumpkin is truly a classic for kids of all ages. Quite simply, this a entertaining special. If you haven't seen it, don't wait for Halloween, get the remastered deluxe edition dvd and enjoy.
