Snoopy's world turns its attention to a quieter kind of holiday story in this 2022 animated short, one built around a single unspoken feeling rather than a big adventure.
What is To Mom (And Dad), with Love about?
As the neighborhood gears up for a celebration built around parents, Peppermint Patty finds herself pulled toward a memory she usually keeps to herself: growing up without a mother. Marcie and the rest of the Peanuts gang carry on with their own preparations around her, and the short lets that contrast sit rather than resolve it neatly, giving a young character's quiet sense of absence room to share the screen with everyone else's excitement. It's a small, character-driven piece, closer in tone to a gentle short story than a plot-heavy feature.
About the cast
The voice cast includes Tyler James Nathan, Terry McGurrin, Lexi Perri, Rob Tinkler, Isabella Leo, Wyatt White, Hattie Kragten and Holly Gorski, filling out the familiar Peanuts ensemble around Peppermint Patty.
Context & significance
Directed by Clay Kaytis, this 2022 release is a Canada-United States co-production and one of the shorter entries in the long-running Peanuts animation library, running under 40 minutes rather than feature length. That brevity suits its focus: rather than juggling multiple storylines, it stays close to one character's feelings across a single occasion, in keeping with how the Peanuts specials have traditionally handled themes heavier than their gentle art style suggests.
