I think Sally has the most relatable journey here. She goes on a Halloween pseudo-date with her one-sided crush and then ultimately regrets it because she could have gotten candy instead. I feel that.
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Every year he rises from the pumpkin patch...

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gentle, imaginative Halloween special that balances Charlie Brown's earnest anxieties with Snoopy's gleeful fantasy adventures, anchored by Linus's touchingly stubborn belief in magic. It's warm and funny, but with an underlying melancholy about growing up and disappointment that makes it resonate beyond its simple plot.

Reviews
The pinnacle of annual Halloween watches. I'm going to be the Charlie Brown ghost for Halloween sometime. His costume from the special, not a ghost version of Charlie Brown
The most important annual October watch. (Sorry to Scream, but I can watch you all year long. Gotta let Great Pumpkin have its moment.)
