action
Charlie Brown is frustrated: despite his best efforts, everything he tries ( flying kites , baseball and ice hockey ) goes wrong . When “the little red-haired girl” joins his class and moves into the house across the street in the middle of winter, he really wants to get to know her better.
At "Lucy's psychiatrist stand" he can be advised to become more self-confident. With the help of his dog Snoopy, Charlie Brown prepares a magic show for his school talent show to impress "the little red-haired girl". His sister Sally's performance is greeted with ridicule, and Charlie Brown sacrifices the time allotted to help her save her performance.
Then Charlie Brown tries to learn to dance with the help of Snoopy in order to win the winter dance competition and to dance the winner's dance with “the little red-haired girl”. His demonstration is successful - until he slips on a puddle of spilled punch and starts the sprinkler system , which ends the event.
Charlie Brown seemed to be lucky when he was given “the little red-haired girl” as a partner in a literature project. However, since "the little red-haired girl" will be absent from school for several days to visit his sick grandmother, he has to write the essay alone. Contrary to Margaret's advice, he chooses war and peace as the theme.
In a standard test, to everyone's surprise, Charlie Brown was the first student in the school's history to achieve full marks. He is to be honored at a large event. But when he starts to give his acceptance speech, he realizes with horror that it is not his test, but that of Peppermint Patty, which happened to guess the answers correctly; When both of them were supposed to write their names on the tests at the time, there was a mix-up. Charlie Brown confesses the mix-up, dejected. His misfortune is made worse when his essay on War and Peace is accidentally destroyed.
At the beginning of spring, Charlie Brown meets a smaller boy in the park who, like before, tries in vain to fly a kite himself. He offers to help, but is still surprised when the boy succeeds.
On the last day of school, students are asked to choose pen pals to write to over the summer. Charlie Brown can't believe his luck when "the little red-haired girl" picks him up and assumes that she only picked him out of pity because nobody else wants to write to him.
Finally he finds enough courage to talk face to face with "the little red-haired girl". He learns from her parents that she has just got on the bus to the summer camp and he tries to reach her in time. Just as he is about to give up hope, a kite falls from the "kite-eating tree" to the ground, the string gets tangled in his legs, he is swept away by a gust of wind and flies towards school. The other children run after Charlie Brown.
When Charlie Brown arrives at the school bus just in time, he finally takes his courage and asks "the little red-haired girl" why she chose him as a pen pal. The latter replies that they have chosen him for his selfless actions in the past few months and praises him as an honest, loving and compassionate person. After the two have promised to write to each other, Charlie Brown watches "the little red-haired girl" on the bus. Meanwhile, his friends congratulate him and give him a hug.
In a parallel plot in the film, Snoopy finds a typewriter and tries to write a novel inspired by Linus' flight model of a three-decker . It is about the heroic fight of a flying ace (Snoopy) during the First World War against the "Red Baron" Manfred von Richthofen for Fifi, the love of his life. With the support of his friend Woodstock, a little yellow bird, he dreams himself into his story.

reception
criticism
For Oliver Kaever (Spiegel Online) “slapstick sequences and simple messages are predominant”. He misses the brittle character of Charlie Brown, as it was originally known from the pen of Charles M. Schulz . The Blue Sky Studios would have missed the chance to show that, in addition to animation films for children such as Ice Age or Rio, they can also stage complex materials. Director Steve Martino is more likely to use the character that the comic figure Charlie Brown developed after the end of the 1960s, when he became a worldwide mass phenomenon and lost some of his revealing humor. Lars von Törne (Tagesspiegel) also expects problems with the audience enthusiasm, because on the one hand the "story is full of classic motifs" and on the other hand there is a "more plastic, sometimes plastic-like aesthetic of the figures" that slips into the simple entertainment of action sequences. It is considered unclear whether the step into the 3D implementation does justice to the work in its entirety.
