Peanuts TV specials clearly defined the holidays when I was a kid. I still enjoy them today. That was TRUE animation at its best. No computers and no bullsh*t!

Snarf, I agree. Melendez was not only an animator but he was an artist. His illustrations were intelligent and moving. Today when you have CGI and all of these computer animation programs, while it makes things easier for an illustrator, at the same time it takes the artistic value away from the artist. You’re a good man Bill.

I stayed up late last night watching “snoopy come home” and forgot how great it was. it’s quite a sad little movie but with little dialogue and just watching snoopy walk all over town reminded me of being 5 and idolizing him. bill melendez will surely be missed!

It really isn’t Christmas if I don’t watch the Charlie Brown special and listen to the Vince Guaraldi music ad nauseum. And the minimalist animation is amazing. Indispensible, indeed. RIP.

And to think there are some that don’t think of animation as “art”.
