'''''Happiness Is A Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown''''' is a 2011 ''{{ComicStrip/Peanuts}}'' hour-long special released by Warner Premiere DirectToVideo, though it has since aired on television.

It adapts and intertwines several comic strip arcs from TheSixties, the overarching one that of Linus trying to give up his security blanket before his grandmother, who is against a boy his age carrying something childish around, arrives for a visit in a week.

It was the first ''Peanuts'' special in five years (the 45th in the total lineup) and the first produced without the leadership of Charles Schulz, Lee Mendelson Productions, or Bill Melendez.  Instead, it's produced by WarnerBrothers and Wildbrain, and animated off-shore by YearimProductions in Korea. Eschewing TheMillenniumAgeOfAnimation's tendencies towards computer-assisted animation, it is animated in hand-drawings on paper with hand-painted backgrounds and a piano soundtrack composed by MarkMothersbaugh, meant to evoke the 1960's/'70s animated specials/movies as well as Vince Guaraldi's scores from the earliest specials.

[[NewspaperComics/PearlsBeforeSwine Stephan Pastis]] co-wrote the script.
