Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back!!)

  • View history

A sequel to the movie followed three years later, in the form of a 1983 television special What Have We Learned, Charlie Brown? in which the gang visits memorials and places related to World War I and World War II.

It also uses the same voice cast that worked on the television specials, It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown (1977), You're the Greatest, Charlie Brown (1979), and She's a Good Skate, Charlie Brown (1980).

This film contains a rare occurrence where the adults appear on screen, including having their faces entirely visible, as well as speaking comprehensible lines.

Paramount Home Entertainment released this film on VHS and Laserdisc in 1980 and 1995 in 4:3 format, followed by a DVD release (presented in its original release format) on October 6, 2015, and a Blu-ray release (as part of the four-movie Snoopy Collection ) on May 18, 2021.

Paramount+ made this film available for streaming on March 4, 2021. [1] It was later removed from the service but re-added (along with the other first three Peanuts films) on November 2023, to be removed once again on December 31, 2023.

Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back!!) received mostly positive reviews and grossed $2 million worldwide. It was released three years after Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown , and would be the last traditionally animated Peanuts film from the Bill Melendez studio and to be overseen by the creator Charles Schulz. The characters would not return to theatrical films until 2015's computer-animated The Peanuts Movie .

The film begins in France, at a bar in a village where live music is playing. A man departs the bar, getting into his car. As he drives home, it starts to rain and he passes some greenhouses. He arrives at a chateau, where a little girl (later revealed to be Violette Honfleur ) begins writing a letter and is seen with a US Army satchel stenciled with the name "S. BROWN".

In the United States, Linus is introducing two French students, Babette and Jacques, who will be spending two weeks at Charlie Brown 's school, while Charlie Brown, himself, Peppermint Patty , and Marcie go to France. At the airport, the children, Snoopy and Woodstock are seen off by their friends. Lucy , who was not selected for the program, tells Charlie Brown not to come back.

During the flight, Charlie Brown produces a letter he received that was written in French. Marcie, who has been studying French, translates it and says it is an invitation from a young girl, Violette Honfleur to stay at the Chateau du Mal Voisin (The Castle of the Bad Neighbour). Peppermint Patty asks who this Violette could be, Charlie Brown has no idea.

The group first arrives in London and goes on a sightseeing tour downtown, while Snoopy and Woodstock play some tennis at Wimbledon. When Snoopy finds himself losing, he lashes out and gets thrown off the court. Snoopy and Woodstock head to the Victoria Railway Station and rejoin the rest of the group. The group looks at the English countryside while traveling to Dover, then finally arrive to briefly admire the White Cliffs of Dover before boarding a hovercraft that will cross the English Channel. They eventually arrive in France. Marcie uses her French skills to get a rental car for the group (resulting in some humorous scenes where she curses out other drivers during a traffic jam), and Charlie Brown buys some French bread. They drive to a farmhouse where Peppermint Patty and Marcie will be staying with Pierre . Pierre is a gracious host who appreciates Marcie making an effort to learn his native tongue, but Peppermint Patty thinks he must have an obvious crush on her. Pierre then gets worried that Linus and Charlie Brown went to the Chateau Malvoisin, as it must be some mistake as no one has ever stayed at the Chateau. When Marcie asks about it, Pierre says the Chateau is owned by the Baron, a vile reclusive man who hates everybody, especially foreigners. Pierre makes some phone calls in an attempt to find Charlie Brown, but no one has seen him and Pierre says he is afraid he cannot help Linus or Charlie Brown until they meet up at school.

When Charlie Brown and Linus arrive at the Chateau, a thunderstorm forces them to spend the night in an empty stable. Later that night, Snoopy (in his " World War I Flying Ace " persona) and Woodstock head down to a local pub to drink a few pints of root beer. Snoopy can dance in the jukebox for the jazz and boogie in the pub. Woodstock played the violin for Snoopy for the sad and happy in the jukebox.

The next morning, Charlie Brown and Linus find that breakfast and warm blankets have been set up for them by some unknown benefactor. Meanwhile, at Pierre's farm, Marcie and Peppermint Patty help with Pierre's chores, while Peppermint Patty, oblivious to Pierre's attitude, tries to tell Marcie that he likes her. Peppermint Patty then experiences culture shock as Pierre's family eats soup and sausage for breakfast and that she and Marcie will have to wear a school uniform while back in the States she wore her own clothes to school. Marcie adopts a "When in Rome" attitude and simply tells Peppermint Patty that when one is a guest of a foreign land, one must respect their ways.

When the gang meets each other at school, Charlie Brown produces the letter from Violette. Pierre says that she is a niece of the baron who owns the chateau; since the Baron is antisocial to his guests, it clearly must have been Violette who invited them to the Chateau. In a reversal of the first scene where Babette and Jacques were introduced to school back in the States, the teacher at the French school introduces Marcie, Peppermint Patty, Linus, and Charlie Brown to her class. The teacher is a nice woman who also says that while the four American kids are in class she will split the instruction between French and English to help teach her class some English words and to accommodate the exchange students. The class sits at tables; and Charlie Brown is made to sit next to Peppermint Patty, resulting in a brief humorous scene, consisting of Charlie Brown being angry at Peppermint Patty for criticizing him.

That night, the baron leaves the chateau to go to the pub and instructs Violette not to let Charlie Brown and Linus in, even though she protests that they must be hospitable as their family was many years ago, but the Baron is adamant that the new arrivals are not to come in. Meanwhile, Charlie Brown and Linus take turns to stand and watch to identify the mysterious benefactor. During Charlie Brown's watch, he gets sleepier while one of the windows lights up, then Violette appears and sets out flatware for the boys. As she is returning inside, Linus awakens for his shift and is annoyed to see Charlie Brown snoozing. Linus then goes into the chateau to get to the bottom of this. Eventually, he finds Violette, who says her invitation was a mistake. Violette explains that her grandmother had told her the story of a wartime affair that she had with Silas Brown , Charlie Brown's grandfather, who was an infantryman stationed in France during the Second World War. Corporal Brown had helped the village and stayed at the Chateau Mal Voisin. Violette shows a photograph of her family, one of them being her grandmother posing with the American soldier. When Silas received his marching orders, he promised to write letters, which he did for some time but they eventually stopped coming. Violette's grandmother moved on, though she never forgot him. Linus remarks that Silas looks like a full-grown version of Charlie Brown.

Meanwhile, at the pub, Snoopy and Woodstock are playing foosball and overhear the baron confide to the bartender that he knows about Charlie Brown and Linus and has tolerated them long enough, planning to do terrible things to them should they fail to leave by morning. The baron returns home to Violette's surprise, and in her rush to get Linus out of the room, she accidentally knocks over a candle which causes a fire throughout the chateau. Linus takes Violette toward a pair of casement windows, throws them open, and shouts to Charlie Brown for help. Charlie Brown wakes up and runs to the pub to call Snoopy and Woodstock. Snoopy and Woodstock rush off to the Chateau and Charlie Brown continues running to the farmhouse to call Peppermint Patty, Marcie, and Pierre. Pierre calls the fire department while Peppermint Patty and Marcie follow Charlie Brown to the flaming chateau.

When Snoopy and Woodstock arrive at the chateau, it is engulfed in flames. Snoopy immediately heads to a shed and brings out an old-fashioned fire hose, while Linus throws his blanket down to Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Marcie, and Pierre, which they use to catch Violette when she jumps out the window. Snoopy arrives with a barrel of water under Linus who also jumps to safety and later barks out instructions to work the hose, but the intense water pressure spins him around, splashing Charlie Brown. Woodstock pops out from the hose with a violin and begins playing along to the dramatic scene. While Snoopy is working with the hose, a fire truck arrives. Four silhouetted men use their hoses, and the fire is soon extinguished.

The baron, who is thankful that the group saved Violette and the chateau, promises he will never be inhospitable again, and now hosts Linus and Charlie Brown inside the chateau like a proper host. Charlie Brown learns the whole truth behind the mysterious letter he received. Many years ago, a friend of Violette's family was touring the United States and needed his hair cut at one point, and the barber was Charlie Brown's father. This news about the location of the Brown family inspired Violette to write a letter inviting Silas' grandson to stay at the Chateau. As the group prepares to leave the chateau to return to America, Violette gives Silas' satchel to Charlie Brown. The film ends when the group says their goodbyes and gets into their beat-up rental car.

The credits show pictures of the film's crew as a collage of designs showing the flags of the United States, United Kingdom, and France, the three nations in which the film is set.

Voice cast [ ]

  • Arrin Skelley – Charlie Brown
  • Annalisa Bortolin – Sally Brown
  • Daniel Anderson – Linus van Pelt
  • Patricia Patts – Peppermint Patty
  • Casey Carlson – Marcie
  • Pascale de Barolet – Pierre
  • Roseline Rubens – Violette / Violet / Patty / Sophie / Frieda
  • Laura Planting – Lucy van Pelt
  • Bill Melendez – Snoopy / Woodstock
  • Debbie Muller – Flight Attendant/French Teacher
  • Scott Beach – Waiter/Baron/Driver/Tennis Announcer/English Voice/American Male

Schroeder and "Pig-Pen" appear to have one line.

  • This is one of the briefest appearances of Lucy in any Peanuts film. She has only one line in the whole movie. When Schroeder , Sally , "Pig-Pen" and Violet say, "Bon voyage, Charlie Brown!", Lucy adds, "And don't come back!!!" After this scene, none of the characters listed above appear for the remainder of the movie.
  • Snoopy's tantrum during the tennis match was inspired by former tennis champion John McEnroe, who was known for his fiery temper and confrontational behavior on-court during games.
  • This is a rare time an adult is seen on screen. The teacher at the school in France is seen on screen and is bilingual. She speaks in clear English as opposed to the infamous "wah wah wah" trombone effects. The English taxi driver's face is also shown. This is the second Peanuts movie in which the adults actually speak words rather than being represented with the plunger-muted trombone sounds, but the first film to show adults.
  • The theme music for the film is romantic for the most part but gets darker when Charlie Brown, Linus, Snoopy, and Woodstock must explore the supposedly abandoned chateau. The slower music is akin to the James Bond theme.
  • The songs that are heard when Snoopy and Woodstock first visit the café are "I'll Be Seeing You" and "Sentimental Journey." Later on Snoopy plays "Rum & Coca-Cola " on the jukebox.
  • The school scene where Peppermint Patty is telling Charlie Brown what to do, then snoring in school was taken from a story arc from the comic strip which originally ran between January 13 and February 13, 1976, where Charlie Brown's school "committed suicide" and was merged with Peppermint Patty's while Charlie Brown's school was being rebuilt. Due to overcrowding, students were made to sit together at tables, and Charlie Brown was forced to put up with Peppermint Patty's bossiness.
  • The theatrical and VHS releases have a Rated G MPAA rating screen after the closing Paramount logo. On further releases including the DVD, the rating screen is edited out, and the movie ends immediately.
  • The Paramount logo appears in a film-within-the-film named Laughing Bunnies, at which Snoopy and Woodstock laugh out loud.
  • On May 7, 1980, The Price Is Right taped a segment featuring a showcase saluting Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back!!) to be broadcast while the movie was still in theatres later that month. After showing a short clip from the movie (the scene on the plane with Snoopy eating and listening to headphones while hiding Woodstock in the ashtray every time the air hostess walks by) the first item offered is a three-piece set of American Tourister luggage. Following this, a week-long trip to London is offered. Then, after mentioning that Snoopy visits Wimbledon in the movie, Johnny Olson offers a set of two tennis rackets, a supply of tennis balls, and tennis outfits. Then, mentioning that the Peanuts gang goes to Paris on the last leg of their trip, a week-long Paris trip for two is offered. Following that Olsen notes that in Paris the gang rents a car which Snoopy drives - 'being the only one qualified to drive he takes them on the ride of their lives...and you'll have the ride of YOUR life in this new car from France!' - a 1980 LeCar. To top off the showcase a pass for the contestant and 24 of his/her friends to see a screening of the movie on the Paramount lot is offered. The contestant bid $8600, the actual retail price was $10,907 and he won when the other contestant overbid.
  • In the movie, we learn the name of Charlie Brown's grandfather: Silas Brown.
  • The car Snoopy rents in France is a Citroen 2CV.
  • In the scene where Peppermint Patty tries to get her baggage back from the baggage carousel, in some of Stuart Brotman's lines from Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown (including "Oh, good grief!") can be heard instead of Patricia Patts. This means that this film is the last time Brotman's voice is used.
  • The 1983 special What Have We Learned, Charlie Brown? follows the events of the film, thus it was purposely left open-ended.
  • This is the only Mendelson/Melendez Peanuts movie to not have a theme song that's named after the movie.
  • Babette and Jacques are two of the many characters in the series to have a pointed nose. The others are Frieda , Lila , Lydia , Peggy Jean , Dolly , Janice Emmons , Melody-Melody , Mimi , Evelyn , Mary Jo , Nell , The Four Princesses , The Cheerleading Squad , Charlotte Braun and Heather . Jacques is also the only male character to have one.
  • After Linus introduces Babette and Jacques, the French students who will be studying in the United States while Charlie Brown and Linus go to France, the entire class goes up to welcome them. Peppermint Patty can be seen in the gaggle of children. Later on, she calls Charlie Brown to say that she is going with him to France as part of a joint effort with her school, implying that she and Marcie go to another school across town like in the strip cartoon.
  • At the airport, when Charlie Brown, Linus, Peppermint Patty, Marcie, and Snoopy walk to the security detector, Marcie is replaced by Lucy.
  • A sign at Victoria Station reads "Travel Center " - considering that it is in the United Kingdom, it should read "Travel Centre”.
  • Somehow, the car is still running when a piece of the new bread Charlie Brown bought is in the engine.
  • When Linus says, "Wow, look at the time! We're going to be late for our first day of school," a watch appears on his wrist, but then a few seconds later, his watch disappears.
  • When Charlie Brown sneezes while holding the broken bread, he throws the bread into the air, but the pieces of the bread do not fall back down. Additionally, the cashier hands over the bread without charging Charlie Brown on either occasion.
  • In the end credits, the colors of the French tricolor flag are inverted, displaying vertical stripes of red, white, and blue from left to right. The modern French tricolor flag is blue (left), white (center) and red (right), though it should be noted that the red, white and blue pattern shown was used as the flag of France during the French Revolutionary period from 1790 to 1794.
  • Charlie Brown, Linus, Snoopy, and Woodstock are standing outside of the château knocking on the door. We hear Linus say, "Let's get out of this rain", but Charlie Brown mouths the words instead.
  • Snoopy's first-class dinner menu on the flight to London includes "lamp cutlets".
  • After dropping Peppermint Patty and Marcie off at the farmhouse, Snoopy and the boys apparently have to drive for a long time and distance to get to the chateau. But later when Charlie Brown runs for help when the chateau is on fire, the farmhouse the girls are staying at is now just right down the road close enough to reach within a few minutes by running, and with the chateau being visible from the front door.
  • The color scheme of the Boeing 747 when it takes off and lands changes when it is supposedly representing the same flight.
  • When Snoopy enters Wimbledon, no one is there, and no one is sitting in the arbiter's chair that is later heard making the calls leading Snoopy to deflate it.
  • When Woodstock turns off the car wipers, they are completely down. But when Snoopy exits the car to investigate, the wipers are standing straight up.
  • After the hovercraft stops in France, the stairs are placed towards the middle of the craft. When everyone starts to exit, the stairs are at the back of the hovercraft. When the shot zooms out again, the stairs are back to the middle of the hovercraft.
  • When Snoopy is thrown out of Wimbledon, one broken racket is thrown out with him. When he gets in the taxi, he is carrying two rackets, and neither is damaged.
  • The size and length of Linus' blanket change frequently.
  • When the French girl shows Linus the photo of Charlie Brown's grandfather during the Great War, it is in color. In real life, it should have been black and white as cameras did not have color back then.
  • In the opening classroom scene where Linus and Charlie Brown stand and declare their trip to France, both Sally and Lucy can be seen. Sally is the younger sister of Charlie Brown, and Lucy is the older sister of Linus, so they wouldn't be in the same class or grade as their brothers.
  • When the rental car breaks down in the town near the bakery, Peppermint Patty has Charlie Brown go get bread and certain fixings to make sandwiches. One, Charlie Brown only buys the bread and nothing else, and two, even with him losing his share of the bread in the hood of the car, Charlie Brown should not have been left unable to eat at all due to the mysteriously appearing sandwich fixings. He could've eaten the meat and cheese rolled up or something.

The film begins in France, at a bar in a village where lively music is playing. A man departs the bar, getting into his car. As he drives home, it starts to rain and he passes some greenhouses. He arrives at a chateau, where a little girl (later revealed to be Violette Honfleur) begins writing a letter and is seen with a US Army satchel stenciled with the name "S. BROWN".

In the United States, Linus is introducing two French students, Babette and Jacques, who will be spending spending two weeks at Charlie Brown's school, while Charlie Brown, himself, Peppermint Patty, and Marcie go to France. At the airport, the children, Snoopy and Woodstock are seen off by their friends. Lucy, who was not selected for the program, tells Charlie Brown not to come back.

During the flight, Charlie Brown produces a letter he received that was written in French. Marcie, who has been studying French, translates it and says it is an invitation from a young girl, Violette Honfleur to stay at the Chateau du Mal Voisin (The Castle of the Bad Neighbour). Peppermint Patty asks who this Violette could be, Charlie Brown has no idea.

The group first arrive in London and go on a sightseeing tour downtown, while Snoopy and Woodstock play some tennis at Wimbledon. When Snoopy finds himself losing, he lashes out and gets thrown off the court. Snoopy and Woodstock head to the Victoria Railway Station and rejoin the rest of the group. The group looks at the English countryside while traveling to Dover, then finally arrive to briefly admire the White Cliffs of Dover before boarding a hovercraft that will cross the English Channel. They eventually arrive in France. Marcie uses her French skills to get a rental car for the group (and resulting in some humourous scenes where she curses out other drivers during a traffic jam), and Charlie Brown buys some French bread. They drive to a farmhouse where Peppermint Patty and Marcie will be staying with Pierre. Pierre is a gracious host who appreciates Marcie making an effort to learn his native tongue, but Peppermint Patty thinks he must have an obvious crush on her. Pierre then gets worried that Linus and Charlie Brown went to the Chateau Malvoisin, as it must be some mistake as no one has ever stayed at the Chateau. When Marcie asks about it, Pierre says the Chateau is owned by the Baron, a vile reclusive man who hates everybody, especially foreigners. Pierre makes some phone calls in an attempt to find Charlie Brown, but no one has seen him and Pierre says he is afraid he cannot help Linus or Charlie Brown until they meet up at school.

When Charlie Brown and Linus arrive at the Chateau, a thunderstorm forces them to spend the night in an empty stable. Later that night, Snoopy (in his "World War I Flying Ace" persona) and Woodstock head down to local pub to drink a few pints of root beer.

The next morning, Charlie Brown and Linus find that breakfast and warm blankets have been set up for them by some unknown benefactor. Meanwhile, at Pierre's farm, Marcie and Peppermint Patty help with Pierre's chores, while Peppermint Patty, oblivious to Pierre's attitude, tries to tell Marcie that he likes her.

  • This is a rare time an adult is seen on screen. The teacher at the school in France is seen on screen, and is bilingual. She speaks in clear English as opposed to the infamous "wah wah wah" trombone effects. The English taxi driver's face is also shown. This is the second Peanuts movie in which the adults actually speak words rather than being represented with the plunger-muted trombone sounds, but the first film to show adults.
  • The theme music for the film which is romantic for the most part but gets darker when Charlie Brown, Linus, Snoopy, and Woodstock must explore the supposedly abandoned chateau. The slower music is akin to the James Bond theme.
  • The songs that are heard when Snoopy and Woodstock first visit the café are "I'll Be Seeing You" and "Sentimental Journey." Later on Snoopy plays "Rum & Coca-Cola" on the jukebox.
  • The school scene where Peppermint Patty is telling Charlie Brown what to do, then snoring in school was taken from a story arc from the comic strip which originally ran between January 13 and February 13, 1976 where Charlie Brown's school "committed suicide" and was merged with Peppermint Patty's while Charlie Brown's school was being rebuilt. Due to overcrowding, students were made to sit together at tables, and Charlie Brown was forced to put up with Peppermint Patty's bossiness.
  • The theatrical and VHS releases have a Rated G MPAA rating screen after the closing Paramount logo. On further releases including the DVD, the rating screen is edited out, and the movie ends immediately.
  • The Paramount logo appears in a film-within-the-film named Laughing Bunnies, at which Snoopy and Woodstock laugh out loud.
  • On May 7, 1980, The Price Is Right taped a segment featuring a showcase saluting Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back!!) to be broadcast while the movie was still in theatres later that month. After showing a short clip from the movie (the scene on the plane with Snoopy eating and listening to headphones while hiding Woodstock in the ashtray every time the airhostess walks by) the first item offered is a three piece set of American Tourister luggage. Following this, a week long trip to London is offered. Then, after mentioning that Snoopy visits Wimbledon in the movie, Johnny Olson offers a set of two tennis rackets, a supply of tennis balls and tennis outfits. Then, mentioning that the Peanuts gang goes to Paris on the last leg of their trip, a week long Paris trip for two is offered. Following that Olsen notes that in Paris the gang rent a car which Snoopy drives - 'being the only one qualified to drive he takes them on the ride of their lives...and you'll have the ride of YOUR life in this new car from France!' - a 1980 LeCar. To top off the showcase a pass for the contestant and 24 of his/her friends to see a screening of the movie on the Paramount lot is offered. The contestant bid $8600, the actual retail price was $10,907 and he won when the other contestant overbid.
  • In the movie, we learn the name of Charlie Brown's grandfather: Silas Brown.
  • This is the only Mendelson/Melendez Peanuts movie to not have a theme song that's named after the movie.
  • After Linus introduces Babette and Jacques, the French students who will be studying in the United States while Charlie Brown and Linus go to France, the entire class goes up to welcome them. Peppermint Patty can be seen in the gaggle of children. Later on, she calls Charlie Brown to say that she is going with him to France as part of a joint effort with her school, implying that she and Marcie go to another school across town like in the strip cartoon.
  • At the airport, when Charlie Brown, Linus, Peppermint Patty, Marcie and Snoopy walk to the security detector, Marcie is replaced by Lucy.
  • A sign at Victoria Station reads "Travel Center " - considering that it is in the United Kingdom, it should read "Travel Centre”.
  • When they get to London they go to Victoria Station to catch a train to France. However in real life the train to France departs out of St Pancras International Station not Victoria.
  • Somehow, the car is still running when a piece of the new bread Charlie Brown bought is in the engine.
  • When Linus says, "Wow, look at the time! We're going to be late for our first day of school," a watch appears on his wrist, but then a few seconds later, his watch disappears.
  • When Charlie Brown sneezes while holding the broken bread, he throws the bread into the air but the pieces of the bread do not fall back down.
  • At the end credits, the colors of the French tricolor flag are inverted, displaying vertical stripes of red, white and blue from left to right. In real life, the French tricolor flag is blue (left), white (centre), and red (right).

Charlie Brown [ edit ]

  • I'm worried about the Baron. Pierre said that he was a very mean man.
  • [pounding on the chateau's door in a horrible lightning storm] I can't believe it! There's no one home! Why would they invite us clear over here, and then not be home?
  • I don't have any idea what you're talking about, all I know is we had a terrible time. There was no one there to meet us, we got caught in the rain, the lightning scared us half to death, and we spent the night sleeping at the stable at the chateau.

Linus van Pelt [ edit ]

  • [first lines; in a classroom] Quiet, everybody! We have two new students here that I'd like to have you meet. They are exchange students from Europe. It is my great honor to introduce to you Babette and Jacques.
  • [to Violette] Jump? Are they crazy?
  • That doesn't make sense. Why did she invite you, Charlie Brown?

Peppermint Patty [ edit ]

  • Boy, Chuck, this is great. That was real generous of you to feed your share to the car. [Snoopy and Woodstock snicker] Notice how well the car is running since you gave it some bread?
  • Another fine mess you've got me into, Chuck.
  • [after they get off the plane in London] Hey Chuck, we're in England. Did you ever think you'd be in England?

Marcie [ edit ]

  • [after the rental car gets hit from behind] Qu'est-ce que tu as dans la crâne? Oooh, les cornes! Qu'est-ce que tu veux que je fasse? Que dalle! Le pied de nez! Tu veux nous frotter?

Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (and Don't Come Back!!) is a 1980 animated film directed by Bill Meléndez . It was the fourth feature film based on the Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz , and the last one made until The Peanuts Movie in 2015.

Charlie Brown's school has accepted two French exchange students, and Linus and Charlie Brown will be going over to France as foreign exchange students, with Snoopy and Woodstock in tow, along with Peppermint Patty and Marcie from their school. The same day, Charlie Brown gets a letter from France that Marcie reads as an invitation to stay at a chateau: the Chateau du Mal Voisin, or "The House of the Bad Neighbor".

They initially arrive in London, where Snoopy goes off to have his own adventures at Wimbledon (and do his John McEnroe impression) while the rest of the gang does some sightseeing before heading off to France.

Upon arriving in France, Marcie and Peppermint Patty stay at a farm with another student, and Charlie Brown and Linus continue to the chateau, where there are no lights on and no answer at the door, so they must camp out outside. Food and blankets are sneaked outside by Violette, the young girl who invited Charlie Brown and is defying her uncle, the Baron, to be hospitable to Charlie Brown and Linus. Eventually, Violette is able to explain her secret, and a certain event inspires the Baron to mellow his inhospitable attitude.

Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown provides examples of:

  • Adults Are Useless : The Baron's dangerously antisocial attitude was well known to the locals. One would wonder why they weren't concerned for Violette's safety. Also, the bartender to whom the Baron confided his intentions to get rid of the intruders (who were clearly identified to be just children) should probably have called the gendarmes as there was no mistaking the Baron's tone and deadly intentions.
  • The Alleged Car : The blue Citroën 2CV that the Peanuts gang gets isn't exactly a dreamboat.
  • Big Shadow, Little Creature : Snoopy and Woodstock give off one arriving at the chateau, leading to a Scary Shadow Fakeout before Charlie Brown and Linus notice them.
  • Bilingual Bonus : The insults Marcie hurls at the other drivers.
  • Company Cameo : During the plane ride to France, a movie is shown that contains the logo of Paramount Pictures , the company that distributed this movie.
  • Contrived Coincidence : Violette just happens to invite Charlie Brown to stay at the chateau at the same time he was chosen as an exchange student in France (and the same part of it, no less).
  • Crowd Panic : Once the fire breaks out in the chateau. And it gets bigger once the Baron arrives. And worst of all, almost everyone just keeps running in place yelling "Fire! Fire!" instead of running away to get help.
  • Darker and Edgier : This is by far the darkest piece of Peanuts media to date, with the climax taking place at the chateau Charlie Brown and Linus are staying in, which Violette accidentally sets on fire.
  • Demoted to Extra : Sally only appears in the first few minutes, Lucy's only line of dialogue is the Title Drop , and Schroeder doesn't even have any speaking lines of his own.
  • Diegetic Soundtrack Usage : Snoopy whistles the movie theme and even plays it on a jukebox in the cafe.
  • Dinner Order Flub : Played With . Charlie Brown, Linus, Marcie, and Peppermint Patty stop to eat in a British pub while en route to France. However, being Americans, they're clearly not familiar with British cuisine as they are forced to ask the waiter for help in deciding what to eat. This doesn't help, either, as not one of them can understand the waiter's British English . Charlie Brown: What did he say? Marcie: Perhaps I should have studied English , not French.
  • Drama Panes : the moment when the kids are taking the train from London to Dover to catch a hovercraft bound for France. Charlie Brown stares out the train window at the passing English countryside while the song "I Want To Remember This" plays over the scene, the lyrics talking about how Charlie Brown understands that this is an important moment in his life that he wants to carry forever.
  • Drives Like Crazy : Snoopy. The moment he starts driving he's laughing like a maniac and causes a pileup, not once, but twice in the film. In the real world such actions would have gotten Snoopy's driver's license terminated.
  • Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" : Violette's uncle is identified only as "the Baron."
  • The Faceless : Despite being a prominent character, the Baron's face isn't shown at all.
  • Foreign Exchange Student : The premise. Charlie Brown, Linus, Peppermint Patty, and Marcie go to France for two weeks as students. In the meantime, Babette and Jacques come to the United States to Charlie Brown's school.
  • Free-Range Children : As usual, there is no adult accompaniment, even as the kids board a plane and fly to another continent. At least, no human adults; Snoopy is the only one of them who can drive. Though unusually for Peanuts, human adults are occasionally seen and heard.
  • French Jerk : The Baron sometimes speaks French and is distrustful of outsiders to the point of attempting to get rid of Charlie Brown and Linus while in the bar. All of which certainly qualifies him as a jerk.
  • Frothy Mugs of Water : The mug Snoopy drinks out of is clearly labeled "ROOT BEER." He still acts inebriated, though .
  • Generation Xerox : We're briefly shown a photograph of Silas Brown, who looks startlingly like an adult version of his grandson.
  • Heel Realization : The Baron, who only cares for his chateau and not for other people save for his niece, has one after he is helpless to stop his chateau from burning with his niece still inside, and it is other people who come to their rescue.
  • Ill-Timed Sneeze : Charlie Brown's first attempt to get bread for the gang ends with him sneezing and throwing the loaf in the air.
  • Incompetent Guard Animal : Snoopy abandons his guard duties immediately after Charlie Brown asks him to stand watch in order to hang out at the café all night. He also overhears the Baron the next night threatening Charlie Brown and Linus, and he... still sits at the café.
  • Jerkass : Lucy, as usual. Her one line in her one appearance in the film is the vile wish to Charlie Brown that is part of the Title Drop .
  • Kick the Dog : Lucy's one line in the whole film is the Title Drop 's subtitle, and thus a pretty vile wish for Charlie Brown's future well-being.
  • Know-Nothing Know-It-All : Peppermint Patty vainly and wrongfully assumes Pierre is in love with her despite the overwhelming evidence he likes Marcie.
  • Language Barrier : Charlie Brown does his best to order bread from a French bakery and it isn't meant to be offensive. Marcie speaks French, though, many times in the movie.
  • Mandatory Line : Lucy has only one line in the whole movie, and as is typical of her , it's to insult Charlie Brown .
  • Musical Pastiche : When the Peanuts characters are in London, a tune that sounds very similar to "Rule Britannia!" is frequently heard.
  • Old, Dark House : The Chateau is very creepy. Although it's mostly from the outside, the insides seem normal.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business : Linus tosses his Security Blanket down so it can be used to catch himself and the other trapped kids when they jump from the burning chateau.
  • Recycled Animation : The inflight movie that Snoopy watches uses footage from It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown .
  • The Reveal : Violette tells Linus that Charlie Brown's grandfather, Silas Brown, stayed at the chateau during World War I ("The Great War") and fell in love with Violette's grandmother. After Silas was sent home, he wrote to her grandmother and even after letters stopped coming, "she never forgot the charming American."
  • Scary Shadow Fakeout : When Charlie Brown and Linus are looking for Snoopy and Woodstock on a stormy evening among arriving at the Chateau, they come across a big menacing-looking shadow and scream, only for it to actually be Snoopy and Woodstock with their destroyed umbrella .
  • The four children go to a restaurant and have to ask the waiter for recommendations, as none of the dishes on the menu are familiar to them, and his answer (he recommends beef and kidney pie for the boys and shepherd's pie for the girls, and adds that the cheddar and pickle sandwich is "rather toppo") just confuses them further, leading Marcie, the group's only Francophone, to quip that perhaps she studied the wrong language.
  • Meanwhile, when Snoopy hails a taxi to go from Wimbledon to Victoria Station, the cabbie can't make sense of what he says (which the audience just hears as growling) and remarks that "it's a bit dicey understandin' these Yanks!" Zigzagged when a repetition of that same growling (possibly combined with Snoopy gesturing with his tennis racket) apparently clarifies his intentions.
  • Sequel Goes Foreign : It's the fourth film in the Peanuts series, and appropriately has Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the gang in Europe. Unlike most examples, such as later works like Rugrats in Paris , the entire gang does not go, only Charlie Brown, Linus, Peppermint Patty, Marcie, Snoopy and Woodstock are featured and the film is not set in Paris, but rather in Le Heron, in a chateau that holds a strong, emotional connection to Schulz.
  • Surprisingly Moving Song : Snoopy, in his persona as a World War I flying ace visits a French tavern, where he plays a series of tunes on an old jukebox that have him laughing, dancing, and even crying unabashedly into his mug of root beer.
  • Title Drop Kids: Bon voyage, Charlie Brown! Lucy: And don't come back!
  • Translation Convention : The Baron speaks English to Violette and the bartender, even though they're in France.
  • Umbrellas Are Lightning Rods : Snoopy carries an umbrella in a thunderstorm. He gets hit by lightning twice, once on his nose when he sticks his nose out the window, and then the second time hitting his umbrella and vaporizing the waterproof webbing.
  • The Voiceless : Averted, along with He Who Must Not Be Seen . Almost every adult in this film talks, is shown or both.
  • With Friends Like These... : Lucy's one line in the whole film : Other members of the Peanuts Gang : Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown! Lucy : And don't come back!
  • Would Hurt a Child : It's implied that the Baron would've "gotten rid of" Charlie Brown and his friends himself had the fire not broken out at the chateau . Since he mellows after they save his niece and all , it may qualify as a Heel–Face Turn .
