What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Snoopy evades obedience training, treats Peppermint Patty's home as a refuge, and repeatedly resists Charlie Brown's efforts to bring him home.
The gang pressures Charlie Brown to act, while Peppermint Patty temporarily assumes responsibility for Snoopy's unwanted stay.
The initial complaint about Snoopy's pranks develops into obedience training, freeloading, forced removal, and a second escape.
The television special uses the recognizable economical staging and reaction-based movement associated with Peanuts animation.
