([[Beat]]) You got a used dog, Charlie Brown.''}} ''~~'''~~[[Snoopy Come Home~~'''~~]]'' is a 1972 animated [[Peanuts]] feature length film. It was the second out of the four feature-length Peanuts films. As the first film, ''A Boy Named Charlie Brown'', focused on Charlie Brown, this film focuses almost entirely on Snoopy. It is also, unquestionably, the most [[Tear Jerker\|depressing and heart-wrenching]] thing in the Peanuts franchise. If there were a trope called "Crowning Moment of Tear Jerking", this film would win fairly easily.▼ ~~To summarize:~~ The plot begins with Snoopy experiencing dissatisfaction with his life amongst the Peanuts characters, as numerous "[[Running Gag\|NO DOGS ALLOOOOOOOOOOWED]]" signs have recently been put up around the town, resulting in Snoopy being kicked out of most public places. After this, Snoopy attempts to get the attention of most of his friends only to be rejected or shrugged-off in one way or another. Snoopy then receives a letter from his ''original'' owner, Lila, whom he only spent two months with as a puppy before he was sent back to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm because Lila's family moved. The letter informs Snoopy that Lila has become a [[Littlest Cancer Patient]] and wishes to see Snoopy again. Snoopy and Woodstock immediately leave town to visit her without explaining. They go on a somewhat surreal journey across the country and engage in silent shenanigans. Meanwhile, Charlie Brown spirals into a near suicidal depression at Snoopy running away, and any attempts at his friends to cheer him up fail. If anything, he in the Charliest of Browniest fashions manages to simply make everyone depressed as they all blame themselves for Snoopy running away. Snoopy and Woodstock eventually make it to Lila's side where they help her recover, only to have Lila pressure Snoopy into staying with her permanently. Feeling obligated, Snoopy returns home to inform everyone that he is leaving to live with Lila permanently, essentially massacring what little self-esteem Charlie Brown has in the process. This culminates in a going-away party in which the entire Peanuts cast (and the audience as well) ends up crying hysterically the entire time while Snoopy gives away all of his possessions. Charlie Brown sinks even deeper into depression afterwards. ▲It is also, unquestionably, the most [[Tear Jerker\|depressing and heart-wrenching]] thing in the Peanuts franchise~~. If there were a trope called "Crowning Moment of Tear Jerking", this film would win fairly easily~~. Upon arriving at Lila's home, Snoopy finds out that not only does Lila already have a pet of her own in the form of a beloved cat, but that her apartment has a "No Dogs Allowed" policy. Freed of his obligations, Snoopy joyfully runs back home and into the arms of Charlie Brown and company who welcome him back joyfully. Until he gets a swelled head and demand that they give back all the things he gave them before moving or he'll sue them, upon which everyone but Charlie Brown leaves Snoopy in disgust (though he does leave a few moments later in disgust as well when Snoopy has let Woodstock type in the ending credits). {{tropelist}} Line 55 ⟶ 43: [[Category:Snoopy Come Home]] [[Category:Western Animation]] [[Category:Western Animation of the 1970s]] [[Category:Film]]
