Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown

Angst-ridden Charlie Brown attempts to motivate his team, while Lucy in right field nettles poor Chuck into a nervous wreck. With their losses mounting, Charlie Brown tries every remedy to score a win--even trading his own dog--yet nothing improves the team's dismal record. Then Chuck orchestrates "the greatest trade in the history of baseball."

Directed by Bill Melendez, Larry Leichliter, Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown leans on a strong ensemble — Wesley Singerman, Serena Berman, Corey Padnos — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2003.
