History WesternAnimation / SnoopyComeHome

* BreakTheCutie: ALL of the Peanuts characters in this movie, but especially Snoopy and Charlie Brown.

To summarize: The plot begins with Snoopy experiencing dissatisfaction with his life amongst the Peanuts characters, as numerous "[[RunningGag NO DOGS ALLOOOOOOOOOOWED]]" signs have recently been put up around the town, resulting in Snoopy being kicked out of most public places. After this, Snoopy attempts to get the attention of most of his friends only to be rejected or shrugged-off in one way or another.

'''''Snoopy Come Home''''' is a 1972 animated ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} feature length film. It was the second out of the four feature-length Peanuts films. As the first film, ''WesternAnimation/ABoyNamedCharlieBrown'', focused on Charlie Brown, this film focuses almost entirely on Snoopy.

It is also, unquestionably, the most [[TearJerker depressing and heart-wrenching]] thing in the Peanuts franchise. If there was a trope called "Crowning Moment of Tearjerking", this film would win fairly easily. (This was probably due to creator Charles M. Schulz having just gone through a depressing divorce, and decided to take it out here.)

* KarmaHoudini: Admit it, Clara pretty much got away with the Elmyra-esque antics scot-free (save for getting a fishbowl on her head for her trouble). Had she tried that in this day and age, especially with the advent of video sharing, let's just say a little ImageBoard called 4chan would've found her and...her life would be in shambles.

* [[AllThereInTheManual All There On The Movie Poster]]: The name of the girl who captures Snoopy and Woodstock isn't listed in the credits (they just show characters' faces instead of character names). We only know her name because the official poster for the movie identified her as Clara.

* WeWantOurJerkBack / StatusQuoIsGod: Snoopy behaves like a jerk to everyone in the film, but they all cry when he leaves. When he eventually returns, they're ''shocked'' when he continues to be a prick.

* TriumphantReprise: The very last incarnation of the "NO DOGS ALLOWED" tune.

** To underscore the point, this is the only time in the movie where the sight of the "NO DOGS ALLOWED" sign is accompanied by cheerful, triumphant version of the {{Leitmotif}} instead of its usual sinister-sounding one, as Snoopy is literally dancing for joy.

** Though from the mess and after she got her head stuck in a fish bowl, it can be assumed her mom punished her for irresponsibility (albeit off-screen, of course).

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite Charlie Brown being a depressive loser and their sometimes indifferent interactions, Snoopy still chooses him over an angelic little girl in the end.
** Not that he had much of a choice, anyway.
*** You might have missed Snoopy bawling over leaving Charlie Brown. The "NO DOGS ALLOWED" sign just gave him a convenient excuse to break his obligation.

* ChekhovsGun: "NO DOGS ALLOWED!"

* OddNameOut: This is the only one of the four ''{{ComicStrip/Peanuts]]'' movies that has Snoopy's name in the title rather than Charlie Brown's.

* WeWantOurJerkBack: Snoopy behaves like a prick to everyone in the film, but they all cry when he leaves. When he eventually returns, they're ''shocked'' when he continues to be a prick.

** Actually, the film confirms Charlie Brown's philosophy while playing {{Monopoly}} that no matter how bad things get, everything will work out in the end. Lucy called it "stupid".

->'''''Linus:''' You bought Snoopy in the month of October, right? According to the records at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, Snoopy was bought by another family in August. This family had a little girl named Lila. Snoopy and Lila loved each other very much, but then they moved, and the family decided they just couldn't keep Snoopy so they returned him. ({{beat}}) You got a used dog, Charlie Brown.''

* AndCallHimGeorge: Along the way, Snoopy and Woodstock are captured by a little girl named Clara, an insane, pet-obsessed little girl that makes Elmyra from ''TinyToonAdventures'' look sane in comparison.

* PuritySue / CanonSue: Lila. Lets face it, she's just so [[TastesLikeDiabetes sickeningly sweet]] on top of being selfish enough to ask Snoopy to come back with her (despite having a pet already)...and she gets off with it. Feeling no regret for nearly breaking poor ol'Charlie Brown.
