Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown is a 1986 American animated short fan film directed and animated by Jim Reardon, who would later become the director and storyboard consultant for The Simpsons, and one of the co-writers of the Oscar-winning 2008 animated feature film WALL-E. The cartoon was made while he was at CalArts. This cartoon, done entirely in black-and-white, has a rough, unfinished-looking style.

Trivia

  • The real Charles M. Schulz was shown this on video at an animation convention. Jim Reardon and friends supposedly managed to talk Schulz into watching the film to get his opinion. He reportedly sat silent and motionless as he watched it. After it was finished he stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "Very clever, very funny, but just don't do it again, okay?"[1]
  • Mike Readon, the voice of Charlie Brown in his Terminator phase passed away in his sleep circa 2020 [2]
