Facts about
This was the only feature film (Peanuts or otherwise) for which composer Vince Guaraldi wrote an original score.
This film premiered at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
The main story line of this movie, involving Charlie Brown's participation in a spelling bee, was taken from a sequence that originally appeared in the comic strip. In that story, however, Charlie Brown lost in the first round of the competition, misspelling the word "maze" M-A-Y-S. He later loses his temper at the teacher and is sent to the principal's office; as he waits in the hall, he reflects that the reason he misspelled the word was that when he heard the word "maze," the first thing he thought of was the surname of famed baseball player Willie Mays. This last half of the story had been used in You're in Love, Charlie Brown, when Charlie Brown inadvertently yelled at the teacher for "missing the stupid bus" (after he overslept).
