It's the Pied Piper, Charlie Brown
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It's the Pied Piper, Charlie Brown is the last animated special produced under the supervision of Charles M. Schulz. Based on characters from the comic strip Peanuts, it was released directly to home video (on VHS and DVD) on 12 September 2000. So far, it has never aired on TV in the US. It retells the story of how the Pied Piper of Hamelin (portrayed by Snoopy) chased away all the mice from the town of Hamlet. The Peanuts kids substitute some characters, Snoopy being the Pied Piper. Snoopy plays concertina (squeezebox), with presumably David Benoit doing the honors. (Snoopy played accordion too a few times in the comic back in the early comics.)
