Some of the characters had their own musical numbers. For example, Peppermint Patty sang a song about being great at physical things and keeping in shape, and Lucy sang a song about a game called "Lucy Says" which is similar to the game Simon Says. Though I understand they were meant to encourage viewers to get up and dance or be physical, they were over the top even for a children’s' special.
Also on the DVD was the featurette "Together Again: A Peanuts Voice-Cast Reunion," which brought together some of the kids, now grown and with kids of their own, who did voices for these iconic Peanuts characters. They came together at a panel at ComicCon 2008 and signed autographs together, touching base with fans and each other and reacquainting themselves after all these years.
If you're looking for another Peanuts special to share with your children or as a gift, Snoopy's Reunion was cute and provides a great way to finally meet Snoopy's mom and all her puppies after all these years. It really shows the staying power of the Peanuts franchise in its nearly 60 years of entertaining children and parents alike. Be sure to check it out.
