Interesting facts
It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown is the 27th prime-time animated musical television special based upon the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz. It originally aired on CBS on April 16, 1984.
Production
After seeing Flashdance, Schulz decided to draw a parody-tribute to what he saw with Snoopy performing as the "flashdancer", sporting the same dance outfit worn by Jennifer Beals; in a November 29, 1983, comic strip that later led to the idea of turning it into an animated TV special.
Bill Melendez explained that the dancing Snoopy in the club scene was done by rotoscoping where the character is drawn over live-action pictures. Flashdance stunt dancer Marine Jahan was chosen to perform routines to provide Snoopy's moves. The animators rotoscoped pictures of Jahan to Snoopy.
Schulz's 12 year old daughter Jill was said to have inspired the "She's in Shape" sequence when Schulz drew images.
The special's cast would go on to provide the voices on the second season of The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show, save for Gary Golen, who would be replaced by Danny Colby.
