Charlie Brown Race of your Life River Raft Flag

Flags and Pennants of the Peanuts Gang

In 1977 Charles Schultz created one of the most memorable feature length Peanuts movies. This is when Schultz was in his groove and at the top of his game.

Summer camp is a rite of passage for kids in America. And the Peanuts gang was no exception. The main plot of Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown is a river raft race. There are four main teams - the Peanuts Boys team, the Peanuts Girl team, Snoopy & Woodstock, and finally an arrogant bunch of bullies aka Team R. I suppose this is where team Rocket from Pokemon traces their heritage to?

The Peanuts Girl Power Team Flag

The boys team uses an orange pennant as their flag. Snoopy & Woodstock use a red pennant. And the girls team has fist of girl power. The girls are the only team to use an original flag. It is the symbol for woman and or Venus coloured in red. In the center of the circle is red fist. The backgound colour is white.

The original Team Rocket?
if you cheat and bully your way to the top
then here are your heroes









Team 'R' dose not have a flag, but their team colours are blue and green.

The main theme of this classic Snoopy & Charlie Brown movie is about standing up to bullies. My favorite part is when Snoopy gets fed up with bullies and punches one of them in the face - it is sweet justice and happy satisfaction.
