December 4, 1969 –

The first feature film based on the Peanuts cartoon strip, A Boy Named Charlie Brown, directed by Bill Melendez and voiced by Peter Robbins, Pamelyn Ferdin, Glenn Gilger, and Andy Pforsich, opened on this date.
The memorable “Aaaugh!” scream from Peter Robbins as Charlie Brown originated from this film. (Oddly enough, it was also heard from Linus in one scene.) Robbins’ scream would become a stock sound effect in almost all subsequent Peanuts specials & movies up to the late 1990s, and is used as a scream, not only for Charlie Brown, but any other available character (excluding Snoopy and Woodstock, who had their own variants).
