This feature-length animated cartoon was based on the Peanuts characters created by comic-strip artist Charles M. Schultz. The gang is shipped off to summer camp, where Charlie Brown gets a Go away and leave me alone bunkmate, and where CB's beagle Snoopy ends up winning most of the athletic trophies.

The Snoop also has a running feud with a mean-spirited pussycat. Meanwhile, budding feminist Lucy organizes an anti-boy campaign amongst the girl campers. The bulk of the action transpires when the gang builds a raft to enter a dangerous shoot-the-rapids race, only to be outclassed by the professionally built vessel picked up by their competitors.

Happily, pluck and luck wins out over arrogance and mean-spiritedness.
