PEANUTS

A Checklist of Animated Peanuts


"Isn't There Anyone Who Knows What Christmas Is All About?"


My intension is to list animated Peanuts chronologically - a kind of checklist for collectors to get a quick overview of what has been issued. For more detailed information check out my links at the bottom of this page!


Animated Peanuts cartoons can be divided into different categories.

1. The Prime-Time Specials - usually 30 minutes per episode.
2. Video Specials
3. Documentaries etc.
4. Full lenght movies
5. Charlie Brown and Snoopy Shows ( Saturday morning TV shows )
6. This is America - an mini-series thought as an easy introduction to American history
