Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown (1986)
The Great Pumpkin puts a bounty on Charlie Brown's head, prompting the entire Peanuts cast to try to kill him. Lucy tries to get Charlie Brown to kick a bomb disguised as a football, Schroeder dumps his (full-sized, not toy) piano on Charlie Brown's head, Snoopy bites off his hand (which gushes blood), the Kite Eating Tree falls on him, and Linus strangles him with his blanket (which he had turned into a makeshift Garroting Wire).

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
This Video is funny, but I like Charlie Brown Anyways.I give this video a 7.5 out of 10.Note: This Video May Be Gory, or may ruin your childhood, watch at your own risk. But it is Very Funny.The Funniest part is where Charlie Brown Screams Like Tom the Cat after Snoopy ate his apple and his hand. But the part is a bit gory.Also, the video looks a little too outdated since it is on Black and White.
Rated NR(would be Rated R for Pervasive Strong Graphic Violence/Gore)Bring Me the Head Of Charlie Brown is an animated short film made by some students at Calarts in the year 1986.If you want to watch the film, it is available on youtube.The short is basically about this.The great pumpkin puts a bounty on the head of Charlie Brown.So basically everybody in the Peanuts gang tries to murder him to get their reward.After a while Charlie Brown cant take it anymore so he starts going on a murder rampage killing all the peanuts characters.The film is shown as a commercial.Bring Me The Head Of Charlie Brown is a funny animated short and I recommend it.
This is a great student film, with bonus points for making fun of such a cherished cartoon icon.Lots of garish humor, over-the-top violence, and blatantly sadistic comedy. The things that make student films great.Audio and voice-overs are rather sub-par...but I think it might have been intentional to just lampoon the voices rather than trying to copy them.Model wise, they're pretty dead-on to the Charlie Brown art form.Interestingly, most of the people who worked on it have had some impressive careers and worked for major studios.If you want to see it, check the message boards for a couple of links to it (or just google search it).
Bring me the Head of Charlie Brown was a CalArts student film and thus was not usually known, though it's a hilarious riff and parody, even if it's a bunch of guys doing the voices.The Great Pumpkin places a bounty on Charlie Brown, and the entire Peannuts gang sets out to collect the reward. Charlie is then set upon by exploding footballs, falling pianos, and whatnot.By the end, Charlie's had enough, and lays down a suppressive fire, taking out the PEanuts gang, before stating "Happiness is a warm Uzi."Kind of morbid at times, but it has some great funny moments, and given the humorous way that the student film is to make this like another Charlie Brown holiday special, all the more funny.Jim Reardon would go onto write for Tiny Toons and direct episodes of The Simpsons, and here, you can see that he was surely fitted for the job.
