Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (and Don't Come Back!!) (1980) is a movie I recently watched with my daughter on Amazon Prime. The storyline follows a foreign exchange program of sorts where the Peanuts gang is sent to visit family's in France. For Charlie Brown he received a strange invitation from a mysterious chateau. Who was behind the request and why do they specifically want Charlie Brown? This movie was codirected by Bill Melendez (A Charlie Brown Christmas) and Phil Roman (A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving). The animation style for this is classic Charlie Brown and a fun mixed bag of still pictures with craft camera work and simple animation. However, the animation, settings and depictions of the characters are very fun. The dialogue is hilarious as the friends pick on each other and Peppermint Patty was annoying and Snoopy was awesome as always (though I was hoping there would be a classic battle with the red baron). I did love "the Baron" mystery and plot that gave this movie an edge of sorts. I also liked how they played off the European clichés. Overall this is an underrated Charlie Brown classic that I would strongly recommend and score a solid 8.5/10.
