YMMV / Snoopy's Reunion

• Angst? What Angst?: With Snoopy being so emotional about his relationship with Lila in Snoopy, Come Home, bursting to tears over her, saying he cried when she took him back to Daisy Hill in the comics, in the actual flashback here, puppy Snoopy doesn't seem all that sad or cry at all, and seems perfectly fine with Charlie Brown when he adopts him.
  • Snoopy and his siblings weren’t too upset about their old home being turned into a parking lot, whereas in the original strips (as well as in the Kaboom comic adaptation) when Snoopy finds this out, he is outraged and devastated. Oddly enough most of his lines where given to Charlie Brown instead.
• Retroactive Recognition: This performance for Linus happens to be one of the earliest roles of the legendary Josh Keaton.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Some fans wished Molly and Rover were canon and included as part of Snoopy's family. Snoopy in the strip has stated that he actually did have eight siblings like in this special, making more wonder why Schulz never shown them in the strip.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Some weren't fans of the fact that they changed/retconned the backstory of how Charlie Brown first adopted Snoopy, feeling like it would have been more sweet if he got Snoopy after bullies dumped sand on his head, rather than him just going up and deciding to get a dog. Especially since the strip where he tells Linus this story was adapted more than once (in Snoopy Come Home and Life is a Circus Charlie Brown) but never shown before, only for this special to change it.
  • Charlie Brown along with Linus and Sally don't seem to age at all, even though he later said it was four years since they got Snoopy as a puppy. A puppy Snoopy meeting a younger Charlie Brown or a baby Sally would have been so adorable.
• Values Dissonance: The portrayal of the puppy farm that Snoopy was born at as being an idyllic place where dogs and their offspring are doted on is this now that the inhumane conditions of such places are now widely known.
