5 Things You Didn't Know About It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Its The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown Halloween wouldn't be Halloween if you didn't sit down in front of your television with the heating cranked way up watching the timeless animated classic It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown on your 50 inch plasma. The times may have changed since the first time you saw Snoopy and co celebrating Halloween but there's no taking anything away from this all time gem of a family movie. Originally commissioned off the success of A Charlie Brown Christmas, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown follows the Peanuts gang - in particular the blanket loving Linus - one Halloween night as they await the arrival of the fabled Great Pumpkin. When CBS commissioned the film it was a huge risk as back in those days Halloween wasn't deemed worthy of its own TV specials. Nothing could be further from the truth these days with The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror becoming a staple of household viewing schedules at this time every year. To celebrate the 37th year the film will be shown we decided to take a quick look back and present you with 5 things you may didn't know about Charlie Brown's classic encounter with the Great Pumpkin.
