Personally, I think the entire film was terrific, but to me, the highlight, the best part of the whole thing was near the end when Linus was talking about red poppies with white crosses growing where battles were fought, and when he recites the poem "In Flanders Fields". I think that's one of the most exciting things you'll ever hear from a cartoon.
shareNormally I'm not that much into peanuts, but in the case of What have we learned, charlie brown I would certainly make an exception.
I think that this short is absolutely terrific and offers a somewhat different and somber viewing experience! Absolutely worth watching!!
I just can't find it anywhere, does anybody know where you can get this gem?
It's very hard to find, and rather pricy when you can, check Ebay and Amazon, but I better warn you, right now they're going for at least $15, not adding shipping.
share"In Flanders fields the poppies blow
between the crosses -row on row-
that mark our place
And in the sky the larks
-still bravely singing- fly
Scarce heard amidst the guns below
We Are the Dead
Short days ago we lived
felt dawn, saw sunset glow
loved -and were loved
And now we lie in Flanders fields..."
"If you don't know the answer -change the question."
