"We've only been here two minutes and already he's embarrassing us."

Fun Peanuts movie that has Charlie Brown going to France as a foreign exchange student, along with Linus, Peppermint Patty, and Marcie. Of course Snoopy and Woodstock come along. There's a lot of fun to be had with the gang exploring another country's culture. There's also a subplot involving a mysterious letter Charlie Brown received back in the States from a little French girl. The animation is solid with some especially nice backgrounds for the French countryside. Love the colors in this. I also liked the atmosphere in the scene where the boys arrive at the château on a rainy night. The voice work is excellent. The adults actually speak intelligibly in this one, as opposed to the usual "wah wah wah." The music is good with some song snippets here and there. It's a very enjoyable cartoon with lots of laughs and likable, relatable characters. Some really funny Patty moments involving a French boy named Pierre. Not my favorite Peanuts film but a fun one nonetheless.
