The scene almost got cut.

Here's 10 things you may not have known about this special.

My favorite is the animator who went to a meeting drunk, stood up and said that this thing will run a 100 years, then passed out.

"Sparky" aka Charles Schulz was my Mothers second cousin.  She grew up with him in MN.  For years, we would get a box of Peanuts books during the holidays!  Sure wish I'd hung on to some of them.  She tried to visit him while in Santa Rosa about twenty years ago but he'd pretty much stop taking visitors, even family by then.

My nickname as a child was Sparky too!  Not too many people know that so keep it to yourselves!

What a small world.   (arghh..   No I didn't mean that as a pun/play on Disney.....who had nothing to do with this animation anyway.)
