« on: November 26, 2014, 10:07:06 am »I had no idea that Race for Your Life and Bon Voyage had been released on DVD. I wonder how I missed that memo. Then again, I also didn't know that You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown was on DVD until I saw a copy in the store.
And of course, all of these specials have been released on VHS in the past, under many different companies. And it was common for some companies to release multiple specials in one video. I recall seeing a VHS that had It's the Great Pumpkin, What a Nightmare, and It Was a Short Summer all in one release. There were some double-special releases where each side of the packaging was a cover for one of the two specials. And of course Paramount put out the "Snoopy Double Feature" releases.
And speaking of the Paramount Home Video days, there were specials featured in "Snoopy's Double Feature" and specials included on their own, under the labels "A Peanuts Special" or "Peanuts Classics". Outside of the "Peanuts Classics" (most of which were the holiday specials), I wonder how it was decided which specials would have gotten their own releases without being paired with another special (well I guess it's obvious for the hour-long releases).
And specials have also been released on laserdisc and Select-a-Vision (don't know off-hand about the lasediscs, but the select-a-vision releases have four specials each).
