It's been 52 years since "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" was released. And while you've probably seen it countless times, there are some things that might surprise you.
Here's a list of some facts about the 1973 TV special:
1. As usual with the Peanuts, no adults are shown. And yet, this was the first Peanuts special to have an ADULT voice. It was Vince Guaraldi singing the song, "Little Birdie". For those of you who somehow don't know, Vince is the jazz pianist who composed all the "Peanuts" music that you know and love.
2. Lucy is only in the opening scene.
3. The actors who voiced Lucy and Charlie Brown are still in touch. They went to high school together and are Facebook friends.
4. There's a spin-off inspired by Linus' speech about the Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving. It's called "The Mayflower Voyagers" from the "This Is America, Charlie Brown" miniseries.
5. One of the producers had an issue with Woodstock committing bird cannibalism. But Charles Schulz insisted that Woodstock join Snoopy in carving and eating the turkey.
