Above: The DVD cover for YOU’RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN

Playbill has announced that the animated special based on You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown will be released on DVD in January 2010.

Great news – this has been unavailable on video for some time and I only have it because it was on TV here some years ago. Perhaps even more exiting is the inclusion of a featurette called Animating A Charlie Brown Musical that “explores the 20-year journey of the 1967 Clark Gesner album that became a Broadway hit and finally an animated TV special.”

What fun!
