Features: Snoopy's personality becomes increasingly diverse: he has a wide range of interests, is obsessed with TV shows, and often feels indignant for defeated boxers; he has a high sense of self-worth, often troubled by being offered food reluctantly, and later learns to defend his dignity with his teeth and claws; in terms of mischief and destruction, he has made great progress, such as biting Lucy's rubber bathtub or blowing away Linus's kite with a sneeze—these are his signature tricks; he has a poetic temperament, and he regrets immensely when he imagines himself killing a pile of dry leaves; the most remarkable thing is his life of fantasy—most of Snoopy's daily time is spent developing his imagination: he imagines himself hunting like a lion, wishes to become a rhino and bump into people carelessly; he mimics a deer, plays the role of a crocodile, and envies kangaroos—except for dogs, he is almost willing to be any animal, which forces his owner, Charlie Brown, to seriously advise him not to "wish to become something impossible to become."
Little boy Linus grows up day by day, seeking security. This philosophical child explains why he cannot leave his blanket: "A blanket can be a source of comfort," "When life becomes uncomfortable, it can make you snuggle tightly." The comedy is filled with entanglements, conflicts, and episodes revolving around this old blanket. Since Linus is currently the only human member Snoopy can bully, suddenly snatching his "security blanket" has become Snoopy's signature routine, and the chase between them becomes particularly intense, with Linus, at a disadvantage, even locking himself in a cage to escape Snoopy. Another threat to him is his sister Lucy. "Lucy, who originally wanted to be an only child," employs various harsh measures to control her brother, including confiscating the blanket and constantly pointing out his faults, while Linus learns to be indifferent, with his motto being: "500 years from now, who will know the difference?"
