snoopy , come home marked the first time snoopy ' s thoughts are fully communicated to the audience outside of the comic strip . this was achieved by having his typed correspondences appear at the top of the frame , giving the viewer full access to his thoughts . previously , schulz had opted to mute snoopy entirely , his thought balloons , which feature so prominently in the strip , being removed . without the benefit of a voice ( other than his indecipherable growl - like speaking ) , snoopy ' s signature rants were lost on television and film until snoopy , come home .

snoopy , come home is a 1972 animated film directed by bill meléndez . it is the second of the five feature - length films based on the peanuts comic strip by charles schulz . whereas the first film , a boy named charlie brown , focused on charlie brown , this film focuses almost entirely on snoopy .

when the family lost their home to foreclosure in 2011 , the city offered to host the holiday celebration .

i ' ve always loved peanuts cartoons . one of my favorite things about charlie brown and the peanuts gang was snoopy whenever he stuck out his tongue and went " bleah ! " at anybody . here is a small collection of those " bleah " moments . there might be more , but this is all i have in my collection . the clips are from : a charlie brown christmas a boy named charlie brown snoopy come home the charlie brown and snoopy show : lucy baseball the charlie brown and snoopy show : the manager the charlie brown and snoopy show : snoopy and woodstock the charlie brown and snoopy show : truffles

lila arrives and snoopy is reluctantly introduced to her pet cat . snoopy shows lila the sign and lila has no choice but to allow snoopy to leave . snoopy leaves lila behind and returns to live with charlie brown .

when she asks him to come back to live at her house , he agrees and goes back to tell charlie brown goodbye .

snoopy , come home was the only peanuts animated project produced during vince guaraldi ' s lifetime ( 1928 - 1976 ) that did not contain a musical score by the noted jazz composer . guaraldi had composed all the previous peanuts animated television specials as well as the debut feature film a boy named charlie brown . music for this film was instead composed by the brothers richard m . sherman and robert b . sherman , who were notable for the music used in many disney films . schulz said this was an experiment , as he had wanted to have more of a commercial , disney feel to snoopy , come home .

snoopy was the one through which he soared . snoopy allowed him to be spontaneous , slapstick , silly , and wild . snoopy was rhythm , comedy , glamour , and style … as snoopy , he had no failures , no losses , no flaws … snoopy had friends and admirers all over the globe .

after charlie brown has gone home to play monopoly with the others , he notices snoopy is late and remarks he is tired of snoopy being late . the next day , snoopy is thrown off the beach due to a new " no dogs allowed on this beach " rule ( thus setting a running gag in the film ) .

this second feature film based on charles schultz ' s charming , unpretentious peanuts comic strip is a vast improvement over the first film , a boy named charlie brown ( it doesn ' t have the rod mckuen music , for one thing ) . snoopy , come home centers upon the adventures of charlie brown ' s pet beagle , snoopy , and his tiny , yellow pal , woodstock . when snoopy ' s original owner lila is hospitalized , the two take - off to comfort her . back home , charlie brown is being ribbed by his friends because of the revelation that snoopy had a previous owner ( " you ' ve got a used dog , charlie brown ! " one child cries ) . all of this leads up to a fateful decision for snoopy - - which owner will snoopy choose to live with ?

back home , the kids are happy to see snoopy return , carrying him on high to his dog house . once there , snoopy demands that the kids give him back the items he had given them before he left which turns their feelings to annoyance . the gang then leaves charlie brown and snoopy together , then charlie brown walks crossly away .

snoopy embarks upon his greatest mission as he and his team take to the skies to pursue their arch - nemesis , while his best pal charlie brown begins his own epic quest back home to win the love of his life .

snoopy and the rest of the peanuts gang go to the beach for the day . once there , snoopy promises to go back to the beach the next day to meet up with peppermint patty . while charlie brown and the others have gone home to play monopoly , he notices snoopy is late , but does not take note of it , and he later cuts his thumb when opening snoopy ' s can of dog food with a can opener .

snoopy , come home is a 1972 american animated musical film , produced by cinema center films and lee mendelson films , released by national general pictures , directed by bill melendez , and based on the peanuts comic strip . the songs are by richard m . sherman and robert b . sherman . it was national general pictures ' second animated feature , after its predecessor , a boy named charlie brown .

with great joy and cheering in the forest , the scene of snow white venturing off with the prince on his horse - " and they lived happily ever after , " but not before she kissed each of the dwarfs goodbye . her prince had indeed come , and the song " some day my prince will come " was heard celebrating his arrival

overall , snoopy come home is a bit of a flop . cut out the fight against linus and snoopy’s other misadventures and this movie would have been a lot better . it doesn’t mean that snoopy should just vanish either . his fight against lucy was handled fairly well and felt more like a real peanuts adventure . the fight was decently long , but it wasn’t as exaggerated as snoopy’s other battles . if you like the peanuts a lot then this may be a good film to check out . if not , then i definitely recommend skipping out on this one and you should just watch one of the classics like the christmas special or it’s magic charlie brown as an example of a snoopy centered special done right .

with snoopy leaving , charlie brown is unable to sleep or eat . he later admits to linus that he even prepared a dinner dish for snoopy and took it out to his now - abandoned doghouse before remembering that snoopy was gone .

- - lucy vs . snoopy lasted longer than the spanish - american war .

take - - for explain - - " it changes " from that 1972 animated feature , snoopy come home . without knowing what was going on behind - the - scenes with the shermans when this song was originally written , it would be easy to think that this rueful tune was just charlie brown ' s way of expressing how sad he felt now that snoopy had decided to go live with his previous owner . but as richard talked with don about " it changes , " this song ' s real significance eventually emerged .

box office bomb : against a $ 1m budget , it only made just over a fifth of it : a grand total of $ 245 , 073 . this didn ' t stop snoopy from getting vindicated by home video and television airings long after its release .

upon arriving at lila ' s home , however , snoopy finds out that not only does lila already have a pet of her own in the form of a beloved cat , but that her apartment has a " no dogs allowed " policy . freed of his obligations , snoopy joyfully runs back home and into the arms of charlie brown and company who welcome him back joyfully . the happiness lasts for a few minutes until he gets a swelled head and demand that they give back all the things he gave them before moving or he ' ll sue them , upon which everyone but charlie brown leaves snoopy in disgust

snoopy with clara , after she tells him she ' s going to spank him .

despite humorously every farewell gift is a bone , you come to the moment that everyone has dreaded - charlie brown ' s farewell gift to snoopy . however , charlie is unable to speak , and just thrusts out his gift , head bowed and remains that way for a very long time .

adaptation expansion : adapted from a series of strips where snoopy went missing to visit lila in hospital . the strips did have the angst of charlie brown losing snoopy and discovering he wasn ' t snoopy ' s original owner , but there was never any question of whether snoopy would stay with lila or return to charlie ; that was added by the film .

after their " disney decade , " the shermans continued to write for film , including the animated features snoopy come home ( 1972 ) and hanna - barbera ' s 1973 adaptation of e . b . white ' s charlotte ' s web . through the years , the brothers have also acumulated enough honors to topple both of their mantles . in addition to their oscars , these include : two grammys , 23 gold and platinum albums and a star on hollywood ' s walk of fame .

) , a charming little miss , asking him to visit , he’s a bit relieved , and his sense of duty and loyalty takes over . snoopy and woodstock set off on a journey to see lila . and what a journey it is ! a profusion of obstacles is set in the beagle ' s path - - from way too many " no dogs allowed " signs to an alarming stint as the captured pet of clara ( linda ercolo ) , a rambunctious little girl ( the film ' s funniest sequence ) . back at home , charlie brown and the gang search for snoopy , worry about him , and nearly give up ever seeing their beloved friend again . to the joy of everyone , snoopy and woodstock come home . it ' s a short - lived relief , however . snoopy feels conflicted but responsible for lila and has only returned to pack up his things and move permanently . it ' s an emotional time for everyone . will snoopy really leave them ? if he does , will charlie brown and company ever recover ?

lila tries to convince snoopy to stay with her , but finally the two part ways . however , upon seeing her watching him tearfully from her hospital window , snoopy grudgingly runs back to her , which she takes as a sign that he wants to live with her . after this moment , he returns home to ' settle his affairs ' and say good - bye . snoopy writes a letter that states that certain items of his will be given away : linus is given his croquet set and chess set , schroeder receives snoopy ' s record collection .

the movie ends with the end credits being typed out by woodstock as snoopy dictates them .

everybody cries : snoopy ' s going - away party involves plenty of tears from everyone .

the best part of the special is when snoopy comes home temporarily to have a big send off from the gang . they get him a lot of bones to chew on and show how sad they would be without him . charlie couldn’t even say anything since it was all just too emotional for him . everyone did miss snoopy after all and not having him around anymore would certainly be tough for them to get past . that’s why i would have liked to have had a subplot of them trying a little harder to find snoopy . meeting him at the hospital would have been a good move , but instead the friends just stay at home the whole time . snoopy makes sure to pay them back for that by the end and then the status quo is preserved .

to accommodate this new snoopy - centric world , schulz began making changes . he invented a whole new animal world for snoopy . first came woodstock , a bird who communicates only with snoopy ( in little tic marks ) . and then snoopy acquired a family : spike , a droopy - eyed , mustachioed beagle , followed by olaf , andy , marbles , and belle .

both films are matted to 1 . 85 : 1 , seemingly cropped from the ratio of the original artwork . snoopy come home ’s opening credits are actually about 1 . 66 : 1 , before the film goes to 1 . 85 : 1 . cropping gets a little tight on the top in some shots as a result , although the first film actually often seems cramped at one edge or another . something’s up with this framing , and this is yet another reason for doing these movies up properly someday .

later , charlie brown takes sally and snoopy to the library , but again there’s a new “no dogs allowed” policy . it doesn’t help that he was laughing loudly at a book . it’s so traumatic that snoopy steals linus’s blanket , but that only starts a fight between the two . snoopy then gets into a sparring match with lucy , who was practicing when snoopy shows up .

snoopy and woodstock eventually make it to lila ' s side where they help her recover , only to have lila ask if snoopy wants to stay with her permanently . feeling obligated , snoopy returns home to inform everyone that he is leaving to live with lila permanently , essentially massacring what little self - esteem charlie brown has in the process . this culminates in a going - away party in which the entire peanuts cast ( and the audience as well ) ends up crying hysterically the entire time while snoopy gives away all of his possessions . charlie brown sinks even deeper into depression afterwards .

snoopy travels to see his sick former owner and then feels obliged to return to her permanently .

title drop : while despairing over snoopy being gone , charlie brown cries out the movie title .

snoopy finally arrives at the hospital but , again , no dogs are allowed in . to add further insult , the hospital does not allow birds to enter either . snoopy is foiled in his first attempt to sneak into lila ' s room , but he is successful the second time . he then keeps lila company for the rest of the time she is admitted . lila credits snoopy with his visit , claiming that it helped her get better . she then mentions that when she gets better , she would like snoopy to go home with her , but he has doubts about this idea .

clara is the little girl who believes snoopy is a stray and takes him home with her . what were her reasons for wanting a pet ? what did she know about being a pet owner ? how important is it to have the animal ' s welfare foremost in mind when caring for a pet ?

the snoopy house tradition began in 1966 when james and linda jordan created a tribute to charlie brown and other “peanuts” characters in the yard of their eastside home . the display quickly became a must - see attraction , creating fond memories for generations of visitors , many of whom now bring their own families .

mark mcanlis , who grew up near the jordan home in costa mesa , echoed that statement as his two children , molly , 6 , and michael , 4 , explored several booths while catching falling snowflakes .

there are a lot of similarities between these two films . snoopy come home also has a thin plot and lots of padding , musical numbers that go nowhere , and bland styling . it was also directed by bill melendez , who proved competent in the tv specials , but here struggles to make the most of his million dollar budget for the movie . this film made only about a quarter of its budget initially , though tv airings and home video have made it profitable over the years . many even consider this film the best of the four peanuts movies , as this one has a strong streak of sentiment in it . it also has songs by the sherman brothers , legendary from other projects , particularly disney films like mary poppins .

a boy named charlie brown received an upgrade to a 5 . 1 dolby digital soundtrack , but expectations should be appropriately managed . the 5 . 1 track does fill things out slightly when compared to the also - included stereo track . there’s no low end to speak of , of course , but the 5 . 1 track does manage to create a nice bit of ambience with the music , as well as a few well - placed sound effects . snoopy come home gets a pretty drab stereo track , but it sounds clear enough .

after giving snoopy his present , he finally cries out in pain with snoopy doing likewise . the rest of the gang , even lucy , eventually follows suit when schroeder plays " it ' s a long way to tipperary " on his piano after snoopy opens his mountain of presents ( every single gift is a dog bone ) . after snoopy leaves , charlie brown is unable to sleep or eat .

costa mesa – it wouldn’t be christmas in costa mesa without the city’s iconic snoopy house holiday display .

ridiculed by everyone , this peanuts adventure centres in on snoopy as he fleas from his home with charlie brown when he finds out that he has an original owner in the hospital . in this very brutally honest feature , we follow a dog on how it is forbidden to enter any public place in town as he searches for his previous owner . this is a very sad film at it ' s core , but a beautiful one as well . very well - drawn , very well - scripted for the film that it is , and characters that will put a smile on your face , this second charlie brown feature , " snoopy , come home , " is one for the ages . i highly recommend it to any fans of these characters or any parents looking to show their kids a cartoon with so much more to offer than nonsensical scenes . a terrific film for everyone !

stereotypical , yes…but at least they stop crying for two seconds ! i wish jose was around to gift snoopy a sombrero . there might ' ve been a dance scene ! everybody loves to see snoopy dance .

after traveling untold miles by foot , and just narrowly escaping extended captivity at the hands of a sugar - powered sociopath named clara , snoopy ( and woodstock ! ) finally reach the hospital . his presence has worked wonders for lila ; her discharge is imminent and she asks snoopy to go home with her - - for good . he consents , but must first return to the neighborhood and give his old friends a proper goodbye .

snoopy come home inexplicably begins with the neighborhood kids playing at the beach , revealed to apparently be in walking distance from charlie brown’s house . we get about two or three songs in before arriving at anything resembling a plot , though i did enjoy the peppy title song that plays with the opening credits ( where we see woodstock introduced to animation for the first time ) . that the credits almost immediately bring us to another song , at the beach , seems an odd choice , and is indicative of the film’s over - reliance on songs that don’t advance the story .

traditional cartoon pratfalls : woodstock often falls , conks his head , and becomes dizzy . snoopy deals with antics of a rough - and - tumble girl who cluelessly manhandles him . typical peanuts misunderstandings are more heightened than usual . linus and snoopy struggle over the precious blanket . lucy and snoopy have a boxing match .

the film was released on dvd in anamorphic widescreen in the u . s . on march 28 , 2006 , by paramount pictures / cbs home entertainment ( cbs owned cinema center films , which co - produced the film ) .

snoopy and the rest of the peanuts gang go to the beach for the day and while they ' re there , snoopy promises to go back to the beach the next day to meet up with peppermint patty .

snoopy was the polar opposite of charlie brown , who had nothing but failures , losses , and flaws .

while his dog is off being grumpy , charlie brown sits at home and wonders where he went so wrong as a pet owner . why is his dog so darned independent ? why can ' t he just enjoy playing a simple game of fetch like a normal dog ? why does everything have to come back around to world war i ? why does snoopy insist that charlie brown bring his supper to the doghouse like a personal waiter ? the irritation only increases when charlie brown slices his thumb on the can opener whilst preparing the evening meal . he brandishes his bandaged digit before snoopy in an attempt to make him feel guilty , but snoopy acknowledges only his hunger pangs . ( i cut my thumb on a meat slicer once . six stitches . still have the scar . shuddup , brown . )

just as some people thought that charlie brown , the insecure loser , the boy who never won the love of the little red - haired girl , was the alter ego of schulz himself near the beginning of his career , so snoopy could be cast as the egotistical alter ego of schulz the world - famous millionaire , who finally found a little happiness in his second marriage and thus became insufferably cutesy . ( in 1973 , schulz and his wife divorced , and a month later schulz married jeannie clyde , a woman he met at the warm puppy café , at his skating rink in santa rosa , california . ) two - legged snoopy , with his airs and fantasies—peerless snoopy , rich snoopy , popular snoopy , world - famous snoopy , contented snoopy—spoiled it all .

snoopy later receives a letter from a girl named lila , who has been in the hospital for three weeks for unspecified reasons and needs snoopy to keep her company . upon receiving the letter , snoopy immediately sets off with woodstock to go see her , leaving charlie brown completely in the dark as to who lila is . linus decides to do some investigating , and discovers that lila is snoopy ' s original owner ; charlie brown faints upon hearing this .

snoopy then receives a letter from his original owner , lila , with whom he only spent two months as a puppy before he was sent back to the daisy hill puppy farm because lila ' s family moved . the letter informs snoopy that lila is in the hospital and wishes to see snoopy again . snoopy and woodstock immediately leave town to visit her without explaining . they go on a somewhat surreal journey across the country and engage in silent shenanigans .

the movie marked the first time snoopy ' s thoughts are fully communicated to the audience outside of the comic strip .

call back : snoopy plays the jew ' s harp , just like he did in a boy named charlie brown .

literal ass kicking : snoopy gives one to charlie brown , and gets one from schroeder , in the opening credits .

scooby dooby doors : a scene like this occurs at one point when clara chases snoopy and woodstock through her house .

snoopy come home is a great movie , if you use some judicious fast - forwarding . like the previous film , there’s a great half - hour tv special lurking within the 80 - minute runtime . the sherman bros . songs are actually kind of catchy if forgettable ; they’re just over - utilized to pad things out . there is no doubting that the story in this movie delivers a good dollop of emotion ; it’s just too bad it’s diluted by stretching it into feature length . i always preferred race for your life , charlie brown , which i hope will be forthcoming now that the first two charlie brown films have each been released twice .

creative closing credits : snoopy types up the entire end credits on his typewriter . in addition , instead of listing actors with their roles , the heads of the characters appear with snoopy typing up the actors ' names next to the character he or she plays , with snoopy and woodstock ' s actors ' names appearing physically next to them as snoopy types . embellished cut - out photos of the crew members ( all wearing funny hats ) also appear as their names are typed alongside .

it ' s all my fault : peppermint patty , lucy , linus , and charlie brown blame themselves for snoopy leaving .

linus : you bought snoopy in the month of october , right ? according to the records at the daisy hill puppy farm , snoopy was bought by another family in august . this family had a little girl named lila . snoopy and lila loved each other very much , but then they moved , and the family decided they just couldn ' t keep snoopy so they returned him . ( beat ) you got a used dog , charlie brown . charlie brown : ( looks shocked and faints )

snoopy runs back to lila , which she takes as a sign that he wants to live with her . but first , he needs to return to " settle his affairs " and say goodbye . snoopy writes a letter directing that certain items of his will be given away : linus is given his croquet and chess sets , while schroeder receives snoopy ' s record collection .

families can talk about the many ways in which peanuts has been a part of our culture for more than half a century . how close do charles m . schulz ' s cartoon characters come to expressing our most real human traits ? what factors continue to keep the franchise fresh and relevant ?

when snoopy is sent back to the puppy farm for obedience training , he free - loads at peppermint patty ' s instead .

with the beagle over the boy ' s beloved blanket . then lucy and snoopy partake in a pugilistic showdown for the ages .

odd name out : this is the only one of the five peanuts movies that has snoopy ' s name in the title .

some thought this new snoopy was an excellent thing , indeed the key to the strip’s greatness . schulz was among them : “i don’t know how he got to walking , and i don’t know how he first began to think , but that was probably one of the best things that i ever did . ” the novelist jonathan franzen is another snoopy fan . snoopy , as franzen has noted , is

but he was smitten with snoopy . ( during one of the christmas ice shows in santa rosa , while watching snoopy skate , schulz leaned over and remarked to his friend lynn johnston , another cartoonist , “just think … there was a time when there was no snoopy ! ” ) schulz , johnston writes in an introduction to one of the fantagraphics volumes , found his winning self in this dog :

- - clara mentions that snoopy and woodstock will make fine additions to her " collection " of pets . however , snoopy and woodstock are the only pets we actually see . there is an empty birdcage , as well as a portrait of a large orange cat .

( though he does leave a few moments later in disgust as well when snoopy has let woodstock type in the ending credits ) .

to summarize : the plot begins with snoopy experiencing dissatisfaction with his life amongst the other characters , as numerous " no dogs alloooooooooowed " signs have recently been put up around the town , resulting in snoopy being kicked out of most public places . after this , snoopy attempts to get the attention of charlie brown and the other kids , only to be rejected or shrugged off in one way or another .

it is also one of only four adaptations of peanuts to other media that does not have " charlie brown " in the title , the other three being snoopy ! ! ! the musical ( both stage and animated ) , snoopy ' s reunion and the peanuts movie .

snoopy may have been delusional , but in the end he knew very well that everything could come tumbling down . his very existence seems to be a way of saying that no matter what a person builds up for himself inside or outside society , everyone is basically alone in it together . by the way , in the end snoopy did admit to at least one shortcoming , though he claimed he wasn’t really to blame . in the strip that ran on january 1 , 2000 , drawn in shaky lines , the kids are having a great snowball fight . snoopy sits on the sidelines , struggling to get his paws around a snowball : “suddenly the dog realized that his dad had never taught him how to throw snowballs . ”

the sheer joy that overwhelms the gang upon snoopy ' s return is short - lived once he takes to the typewriter and demands all his stuff back . that ' s right , schroeder ; hand over all the vinyl . you think snoopy doesn ' t take meticulous inventory ?

. he straight up ambushes linus ; there will be no quick circuit around the yard ending with a boy sent airborne . snoopy is aggrieved and he intends to inflict pain . naturally linus responds in kind , including repeated twists of snoopy ' s nose that would cause a lesser canine to cower and quiver . being an outstanding example of his species , however , snoopy fights back . he creases his face into a

the peanuts gang are at the beach and are having a great time . peppermint patty and snoopy have such a good time that they decide to meet at the beach the next day , much to the dismay of charlie brown . snoopy is charlie brown’s dog and he takes care of him , but snoopy is tends to have adventures without him , leaving charlie brown angry . the next day , peppermint patty and snoopy return to the beach for a picnic , but there’s a new rule , no dogs allowed . worse still , they arrived separately , so peppermint patty doesn’t even know why snoopy didn’t show up . snoopy is so upset about this that he writes a letter to the editor . . . . okay , he doesn’t write it , because he’s a dog . he dictates it and woodstock the bird types it up for him .

what hurts the snoopy subplot is the fact that he has to go through many hardships . they are all comic relief of course , but it can get to be a bit much . one such plot like this is when linus and snoopy decide to start beating each other up over the blanket that linus always carries around . it goes on for quite some time and the blows do look quite painful . the scene isn’t particularly flattering to either character . another example is when snoopy is adopted by a mean little girl who decides to keep on throwing snoopy around and doesn’t know how to have a pet . even when escaping , snoopy drops the bird that he was helping and gives him a headache .

he was right . snoopy’s initial interactions with the kids—his understanding of humanity , indeed his deep empathy ( just what they were often missing ) , coupled with his inability to speak—were unique . and that’s why whenever snoopy’s relatives showed up , the air just went out of the strip .

is still a highly entertaining watch . yes , the scenes where the kids say farewell to snoopy are sad as all hell . yes , there isn ' t really much of an emotional connection established between snoopy and lila ( it ' s sweet when he enters the hospital room and

when snoopy arrives at lila ' s apartment building the next day , he sees a sign next to the door that says " no dogs allowed in this building " before lila comes to the door . then he is reluctantly introduced to lila ' s pet cat . snoopy shows lila the sign . now released from his personal obligation by this discovery , snoopy leaves lila behind and joyfully returns to charlie brown and the others .

it’s possible—i think—to make a mistake in the strip and without realizing it , destroy it … i realized it myself a couple of years ago when i began to introduce snoopy’s brothers and sisters … it destroyed the relationship that snoopy has with the kids , which is a very strange relationship .

to enlarge on the above , she thinks that snoopy ( a beagle ) and woodstock ( a canary ) are a sheepdog and a parrot .

cant you read the sign : used as a running gag . snoopy is constantly booted from places with " no dogs allowed ! " signs .

what the hell , hero ? : when he returns for good , snoopy asks everyone to return the gifts he gave them when he left .

the kids throw snoopy a large , tearful going - away party , each one bringing a gift . the kids closest to snoopy get up to say a few words in his honor . but when it is charlie brown ' s turn to speak , he is overwhelmed to the point of silence . he finally bursts into tears with snoopy doing likewise . the rest of the gang , even lucy , eventually follows suit when schroeder plays " it ' s a long way to tipperary " on his piano after snoopy opens his mountain of presents ( every single one is a bone ) .

after that traumatic scene , we are treated to yet another one ! snoopy puts a ' for sale ' sign on his dog house , shakes woodstock ' s hand very formally and begins to leave . there ' s a small pause and then suddenly woodstock cries out and chases after snoopy , completely sobbing . the two friends share a tearful hug and handshake before snoopy departs . immediately followed by the " it changes " song listed above .

the kids throw snoopy a large , tearful going - away party , each one bringing a gift . the kids closest to snoopy get up to say a few words in his honor , but when it is charlie brown ' s turn to speak , he is overwhelmed to the point of silence .

but some people detested the new snoopy and blamed him for what they viewed as the decline of peanuts in the second half of its 50 - year run . “it’s tough to fix the exact date when snoopy went from being the strip’s besetting artistic weakness to ruining it altogether , ” the journalist and critic christopher caldwell wrote in 2000 , a month before schulz died , in an essay in new york press titled “against snoopy . ” but certainly by the 1970s , caldwell wrote , snoopy had begun wrecking the delicate world that schulz had built . the problem , as caldwell saw it , was that

, snoopy “represents the part of ourselves—the smugness , the avidity , the pomposity , the rank egotism—most of us know we have but try to keep decently hidden away . ” while charlie brown was made to be buffeted by other personalities and cared very much what others thought of him , snoopy’s soul is all about self - invention—which can be seen as delusional self - love . this new snoopy , his detractors felt , had no room for empathy .

- - the story of how snoopy came into charlie brown ' s life has been told once in the strips and twice on the screen . while

chekhov ' s gag : snoopy is usually upset at all the " no dogs allowed ! " rules , until such a rule settles his decision .

everything is an instrument : the first time woodstock whistles ' the best of buddies ' , snoopy accompanies him by banging spoons against his dog bowl .

the good - bye or farewell party for snoopy ( voice of bill melendez ) who had decided to go back and live with lila - in which each of the members of the peanuts gang gave snoopy a parting gift . snoopy ' s devoted second owner charlie brown ( voice of chad webber ) was so overwhelmed that he was unable to say a single word out of grief as he simply held out his gift , head bowed - - both he and snoopy burst into tears ; the party ended with everyone sobbing as linus played " it ' s a long way to tipperary " on the piano

the response was a mix of cheers and chuckles . the governor’s question had come somewhat in jest , tacked to the end of a lengthy list of love - seeking entreaties for the many local elected democrats who had joined him inside a poorly - ventilated , inner - city recreation center decorated with the iconography of historic brooklyn and african american leaders .

meanwhile , charlie brown spirals into a extreme depression ( even for him ) at snoopy running away , and any attempts at his friends to cheer him up fail . if anything , he in the charliest of browniest fashions manages to simply make everyone depressed as they all blame themselves for snoopy running away .

woodstock and snoopy run away after seeing too many ' no dogs ' signs . this sends charlie brown into turmoil as he searches for his favourite companion .

these plots weren’t funny in the slightest and just made the special a little more irritating . at least snoopy’s old owner was reasonable . she didn’t try to guilt trip snoopy quite as much as i had expected . not knowing that her building didn’t allow dogs was a pretty big mistake though . that seems like something that she should have known beforehand . still , it gave snoopy a good “out” and he was able to return home . by now it’s possible that the letter he signed to the mayor will have taken effect so he can use the library and other services again . hopefully that happens since we just saw him use the library in “it’s magic charlie brown . ” seems odd that they would ban him after that . he was being loud , but the book was just that funny .

nevertheless , we do soon see some friction between snoopy and charlie brown , who sees his dog as becoming overly independent and prone to taking charlie brown for granted . then , in another move that predicts what is to come , we get a reprise of at the beach ! we also get introduced to a major motif of the movie , one which gets its own song sung by classic baritone voice performer thurl ravenscroft , no dogs allowed . snoopy gets kicked off the beach , out of the library , and away from linus and his blanket , before getting into a boxing match with lucy . and then… we are finally introduced to a major character : lila .

the clue of the missing ape , a.k.a. gibraltar adventure , is a 1953 english children 's film largely set in gibraltar .

directed by james hill , it was produced by the gaumont specialised film unit , a descendant of the gaumont british film studio .

players included veteran character actor george cole .

the the abominable snowmen are from a lower plane . when the condition and vibration is at a certain frequency , they can easily , for a time , appear in a very solid body . they are not animal spirits , but also lack the intelligence of a human consciousness when reading of evolution we have read many times conjecture about the missing link between man and the anthropoid ape . the snowmen are a missing link in consciousness , neither animal nor human . they are very close to out dimension , and yet are a part of one lower . could they be the missing link man has been so long searching for ?

that said , its written for children by people who have no clue what children are like , so . . . take that as you will .

i have had both the earthly experience of encountering them by ape canyon , and the spiritual experience of knowing and telling what they are .

i have walked through the messy cliffs of ape canyon , and seen a primeval loneliness , reminiscent of life as it must have been years ago .

of course , reeves is moving onto other things now that his latest apes movie is finished - he ' s making the batman for warner - but given just how successful his take on the franchise has been , we ' d be surprised if he didn ' t at least continue to consult on future stories in some way . it certainly seems that reeves has an idea of where the apes franchise could go beyond caesar - and bad ape , the innocent , talking ape played by steve zahn , offers a small clue .

as most darkwaters fans know , this group has been collecting every document lead that we could think of in order to put together a “clue map” that would lead to its location over the past 5 years or so . honestly , i kinda lost track .

the first recorded encounter of the apes with white men was in 1924 . a group of five prospectors rushed into kelso to report that a group of great , ape - like creatures had attacked them in the middle of the night .

when we were back home in kelso , washington , he told some of his friends , and somehow the story leaked out to the papers , and the great hairy ape hunt of 1924 was on .

three persons in a car on a lonely forest road said they saw one of the creatures when it flashed across the headlight beams of their car near the wilderness area which includes such places as “ape canyon . ”

the depiction is today a big part of the society of the rosicrucians and the mysteries of alchemy and was published by one of the most accepted founding members of the rosicrucian society .

the track went in the direction of ape canyon . but no trace of carter or his equipment was found although the area was combed for two weeks . lee recalled stories of about 25 persons who claim they had encountered the monsters during a 20 year period .

the attack continued the remainder of the night , with only short intervals between . a most profound and frightening experience occurred when one of the creatures , being close to the cabin , reached an arm through the chinking space and seized one of our axes by the handle ( a much written about incident and a true one ) . before the thing could pull the axe out , i swiftly turned the head of the axe upright , so that it caught on the logs ; and at the same time hank shot , barely missing my hand .

the canyon named for the apes , is a lonely , ominous spot in a wild area . it extends to a point near ape cave , thought to be the longest unitary lava tube in the world .

it was not long before i saw one of the apelike creatures , standing about eighty yards away near the edge of ape canyon . i shot three times , and it toppled over the cliff , down into the gorge , some four hundred feet below .

on the second day of a three day expedition , 5 members of the dwpg recovered the cabin site of the famed venderwhite mine .

then came the “great ape hunt 0f 1924 . ” law enforcement officers and a flock of newspapermen made up a posse that went into the area . the armed searchers fired at anything that moved , so the report went . they returned to tell of finding huge footprints , but no apes .

then just when he had started to calm down , we all saw the arrow soar up high , change direction and swoop down . we had to follow in the general direction before we could find it again . it hovered near the top of the north cliff of ape canyon . that was the site where we later blasted out our shaft .

the dark waters paranormal group is reporting that the infamous site of the 1924 ape canyon bigfoot attack may have been found . for decades , the location of the cabin , where four prospectors endured a night from hell as large , hairy “mountain devils” laid siege to their cabin , has been unknown . it has been surmised that the cabin was destroyed by the 1980 mt . st . helens volcanic eruption .

the story of the apemen of the beautiful conical mountain situated in the cascade range of southwest washington , is a favorite in the area , but it just may have some basis in fact .

in summary here and with great respect to those of the rosicrucian order of today , i propose the beauty of the rose cross is the opening of a cosmic wormhole from the star of our ancestors . there is one more piece of the puzzle to add here and it is being prepared . watch this space . . .

in july 10 , 1924 , four gold prospectors were holed up in their cabin on mount st . helens when a large number of huge , hairy creatures began attacking their cabin . the men shot at the creatures and claim to have killed one which tumbled 400 feet into a canyon . the story is regarded as one of the earliest sasquatch - related violent encounters and the gorge where the incident occurred became known as “ape canyon” .

quietly , poignantly , the curtain has fallen on caesar . the intelligent ape who first led his kind out of captivity in 2011 ' s rise of the planet of the apes has done so again in this summer ' s third chapter . humanity has , it seems , finally reached its end thanks to a cruel mutation in the virus that already weakened it 15 years earlier . war for the planet of the apes sees caesar pass into legend ; mortally wounded , he dies in the knowledge that his fellow apes are finally safe from harm .

the legend of the apemen of mt . st . helens returns , like hay fever , with summer weather .

when this age or cycle of life that we are in moves on eventually to a higher cycle , and all life moves forward , these beings may stay and move up in consciousness in some other world in the far distant future . perhaps the ape beings will toil the road of intelligence in that world which none of us can even imagine , and perhaps they too will lose nothing and gain by their experience .

to avoid embarrassment to the relatives of the other four men involved in the 1924 incident , i have not directly mentioned their names . the name , hank , is a pseudonym of one of the main characters in the incident .

in the true sense everything in the material world is a manifestation . ever since the time the first essence of consciousness formed from the great void we cannot describe , different planes or dimensions of being were created or manifested . occasionally we of this dimension of space can be conscious of other beings of a different vibration and consciousness .

first of all , i wish to give an account of the attack and tell of the famous incident of july , 1924 , when the “hairy apes” attacked our cabin . we had been prospecting for six years in the mt . st . helens and lewis river area in southwest washington . we had , from time to time , come across large tracks by creek beds and springs . in 1924 i and four other miners were working our gold claim , the vander white . it was two miles east of mt . st . helens near a deep canyon now named “ape canyon” — which was so named after an account of the incident reached the newspapers .

is there an interrelated race of these beings awaiting their proper day of evolution ? i am of the opinion that evolution is not only a law of the material world , but also the law of all the worlds we cannot perceive by the medium of our five senses . everything seen and unseen is life and all life is progressive and changing .

for years researchers have searched for the infamous cabin site which was presumably destroyed by the mt . st . helens eruption in 1980 . for the last five years , marc myrsell and his washington - based dark waters paranormal investigation team have spent their warm months hunting down evidence of the ape canyon cabin , and after a series of fortuitous clues , believe they’ve finally discovered its location ( which they are not ready to publicly disclose ) .

i say this confident by the evidence of my experiences , things that i have not before revealed to the public , and i also say it from the knowledge gained on the subject later . in this book i will reveal thoroughly what i know them to be . first of all i will say that ‘they are not entirely of the world . ’ i know the reaction we experienced as these beings attacked out cabin impressed many with the concept of great ape - like men dwelling in the mountains . and i can say that we genuinely fought and were quite fearful , and we were glad to get out of the mountains but i was , for one , always conscious that we were dealing with supernatural beings , and i know the other members of the party felt the same .

of the ancient star map cases i have proposed as the place of our star visitor human ancestors due to the ancient clues found with each case .

the nature of the site carries a high probability of very little human impact . the area has never been commercially logged as there are so few trees and these are very difficult to get out . the danger of traversing the area makes a high rate of human camp sites unlikely .

forestry employes have investigated many reports of the strange creatures . according to indian legend , the “apes” were the ferocious selahtik indians , a band of renegades much like giant apes in appearance who lived like wild animals in the secluded caves of the cascades .

the so called cradle of civilisation by tradition in historical circles is the area of sumer of sumerian history which is now modern day iraq and iran . they used ancient scroll seals that venerated their most valuable identity traditions . the most comon star theme according to scholars at the british museum on these scroll seals is the pleiades ref . but in the image below in the british museum we see a cylinder seal made of chalcedony showing king shamash venerating his teaching of the star secret using the cross of the churches . but in this example one has to wonder how the rose depiction of it when viewed above the west horizon came to be . was it from the same cosmic teachers who taught the builders of stonehenge ref where it evolved through the monarchy systems of europe ?

“bad ape is actually a seed that is a forest , " reeves told yahoo . " in this story we see that the idea is that the world is revealed to be much larger than the apes ever imagined . there are apes who grew up without the benefit of caesar’s leadership and they might not just be pockets of one or two , there might be actually colonies , and might that be where future conflicts come for caesar’s apes ? they have the benefit of the integrity that he’s instilled in them , so what’s going to happen when they encounter others who didn’t have that ? ”

this is an actual photograph of the pleiades area with the leg of the bull pattern added and with the 3 sun stars shown in correct positions and correct yellow spectral color but just enlarged for purpose of measurement of its layout pattern . these 3 sun - like stars are in contention according to the repeating accounts

when it comes to the question of how earth has fallen into the hairy hands of the apes , the 21st century series has differed from the 60s and 70s series , of course . in those , chimpanzees were kept as slaves and proliferated among humans ; when our species largely obliterated itself with the bomb , the apes evolved and , over the course of generations , gradually took over .

to borrow reeves ' term , the seed is planted , then , for a future where pockets of intelligent apes - maybe apes as chatty as zahn ' s character - have sprung up elsewhere on the planet . how have they adapted ? might they be more advanced , having taken over abandoned cities and technology ? if so , might a new war break out - not between humans , but rival ape societies ?

old timers aren’t surprised , just amused . the apeman legend actually is older than the white man’s habitation of the pacific northwest .

answer : “i doubt very much that they will be seen by tens of thousands of people like flying saucers . this is not a book on flying saucers , but i will say that the nature of flying saucers is very high and lofty , and their purpose is important to us , the purpose of the abominable snowmen does not fit the aims of the life purpose in the degree as what the world calls u . f . o : ’s . ”

for andy serkis , the death of caesar doesn ' t necessarily mean the end of his involvement in the apes franchise . thanks to the wonders of performance - capture , he could potentially play another character in the saga , assuming the role ' s sufficiently different from the noble , introspective caesar . the bigger question , serkis says , is who could take over from matt reeves as the series ' new director .

as best we can tell , we probably found the long , 20 foot side of the cabin , guessing the uphill side . but… .

unless the creatures are really fuzzy throwbacks , the lost indian tribe theory seems most likely to some of the fans of the mystery . it has given rise to some suggestions , one of which is to leave well enough alone . the government might take over and shove benefits and subsidies at them — retroactive to the ice age .

field visits have been conducted to put those clues on the ground . it’s been a lot of snooping , a lot of sitting down for hours at a time just staring at the trees , a lot of thinking .

but in context here many scholars see these words speaking a lot deeper of the timeless tradition of the expression " as above so below " . i concur partly with this general mirror of the heavens legend theme and especially when looking at the title in context with the page image of a creation feminine entity in the heavens with special stars and watching down below as it is on earth .

the legend grew from that point for several years , then subsided with only sporadic reports of traces of the apes . responsible persons , experienced mountaineers and skiers , have given credence to the story .

a portland couple fishing on the lewis river south of the mountain saw a huge beige figure “bigger than any human” amble off into the brush .

bob lee of portland , a leader of the 1961 himalayan expedition and adviser to last year’s himalayan expedition , said last year he had a strange experience . lee has never claimed to have seen the apes , but said “there was something strange on the high slopes of the mountain . ”

the miners said they had been working a mine on the east slopes of mt . st . helens . during the daytime , they saw some of the apes and fired at them to halt an apparent attack . one of the apes appeared to have been hit and rolled into a deep ravine . that night , according to the account , the apemen hurled rocks onto the cabin and “danced and screamed until daylight . ”

the human soul once dwelled in a spiritual body , and eventually incarnated , at the fall of man , into bodies like we have now . the beings we call abominable snowmen were not of the necessary high development to incarnate in human form . they had not reached that scale of spiritual evolution .

answer : “they are about seven feet tall , but many people have seen larger ones . they had large ears and a head that was in proportion with their large muscular body . their shoulders were tremendous but they had slim hips . they were hairy but not shaggy . in general they possess a very stout physical frame , but looked more like a giant human than an ape . ”

at the time , lee was a member of the seattle mountain search and rescue unit . he described the search for carter as “the most eerie experience i ever had . ” he said that every time he was cut off from the rest of the search party he felt “somebody was watching me . ”

with a warning for major , major spoilers , we look at war for the planet of the apes , and where the franchise might go next . . .

whatever happens next - and even if , assuming fox made the bizarre decision to wind up the apes story here - war for the planet of the apes leaves the story in a mournful yet satisfying place : for our money , the best trilogy of films in the history of genre cinema . in reeves and serkis ' hands , caesar has become a figure of mythical proportions . his fellow apes are safe ; his journey is complete . and what an extraordinary journey it’s been .

story of how two youngsters round up crooks planning to blow up the british fleet off gibraltar .

it’d certainly be interesting to see planet of the apes retold from the apes’ perspective rather than a human’s . but wouldn’t that feel a little superfluous after the current trilogy has done so much to make the franchise feel original again ? certainly , matt reeves seems more interested in seeing the story head in its own direction rather than simply remaking the original - as tim burton sort of did with his planet of the apes movie .

we took the water back to the cabin , and explained the affair to the rest of the party ; and we all agreed , including hank , to go home the next morning as it would be dark before we could get to the car . we agreed it would be unsound to be caught by darkness on the way out .

a friend of mine was fishing , he strung a number of trout on a stick and laid them on a rock . he walked down - stream and waded out into the river to continue his fishing . a little later he looked back and saw one of the hairy creatures picking up his string of fish . he was thrashing them against the rock .

answer : “we certainly did . our eyes were keen in those days , and we were expert shots . when hank shot the one peeking around the tree , he exclaimed , ‘don’t worry about that devil , fred , i got him right in the head ! ’ later on i examined the tree and there were three nicks where the bark had been grooved by his bullets . the one i shot by ape canyon , i had plainly in my sights . he just tumbled over into the deep gorge . some people think the melting snow water , which flows heavily summer afternoons , washed him away . some others think the creatures came and packed their own away , and retired with them back to hidden lava caves . my views are plain on the subject . ”

i have told of my past experiences , and have tried to explain about the present sightirigs . what does the future hold regarding the phenomenon of abominable snowmen ? perhaps some psychic will enter into their investigation . he will probably keep records and have reliable witnesses to observe his work and to report his findings to the world . sightings of abominable snowmen have been reported at various times from every major continent . they were of different appearances and sizes and the records of them date back many years .

the events leading up to the ape episode were filled with the psychic element . since a young man i had always been clairvoyant . when just a boy i was in the pasture playing with my beanshooter . i had bought it with some long earned coins . it had a twisted wire handle . i lost it , and as i was crying , a kindly woman came up to me and put her arms around me . i felt warm all over . “little boy , ” she said , “don’t cry . go home , you will find your beanshooter there . ”

the easy way out for lots of people is to just consider it a wild tale . but too many people have seen them and the evidence is piling up to definitely prove this . the same line of escapism of thought concerning phenomenal sightings of flying saucers is evident . a report recently showed 5 , 000 , 000 americans claimed to have seen flying saucers .

they are the easiest beings materialized as evidenced by the many reports of their appearances to more people in recent years . in fact , if the vibratory influence right for them is present they can manifest without any human being present at all . this accounts for the many tracks being seen along the mountain ranges of the west coast and canada .

when i speak of abominable snowmen as being an lower order of life i was not inferring that they are evil or bad . they just function on a plane lower than the human plane . neither are they completely dull minded with no sense of what they are doing . in some of their encounters with people , they have displayed quite a degree of cleverness .

in the cabin , we had a long bunk bed in which two could sleep , feet to feet — the rest of us sleeping on pine boughs on the floor . at one end of the cabin , we had a fireplace , fashioned out of rocks . there were no windows in the cabin . so darkness found all of us in the cabin , more calm now ( and my tooth was better , somehow the excitement seemed to work a temporary cure on it ) . we were sitting around , puffing on pipes , and talking about the trip home the next day .

the picture i am trying to paint for you is a picture of manifestation . in this book i have showed also some of our high manifestation , as we had many of a high nature the six years we spent in the mt . st . helen’s area . of course , the lower or grosser manifestations were in the appearing of these hairy creatures called abominable snowmen — also called hairy apes , bigfoot and sasquatch , according to the region they are seen in . i believe they have always existed , although our encounter with them in 1924 was the first major report of anyone coming in contact with them . other writings have documented the cases very well . i just like to show the reason for their appearances .

this time , we stayed on the mountain for three days , 89 years later , almost to the week when the smith / beck group fended off the attack with song , yelling and a lot of ammunition .

i tried to persuade everyone not to relate the happenings to anyone , and they agreed , but hank soon let the cat out of the bag . we made our way to spirit lake , and hank went in to the ranger station . he had told the ranger earlier about the tracks , and the ranger had replied , “let me know if you find out what they are . ” that was just what hank did , to the puzzlement of the ranger .

look closely at the most repeated cuniform sysmbol here . it is the symbol that is extracted . is it just a coincidence it resembles the chi - rho of the european churches that emperor constantine presented to repesent the christ and what he saw in the sky when he had an angelic encounter

it ' s a superb performance from andy serkis , who ' s now played the role of caesar for the best part of five years ; once again , his turn is a captivating amalgam of cutting - edge cgi and subtle acting . that final scene between caesar and his old friend maurice ( karin konoval ) draws a line under what has , perhaps as much as gollum from lord of the rings , become one of serkis ' signature characters .

the stage is set , therefore , for the events of 1968’s planet of the apes . the lapse into a kind of pre - stone age bestiality - a process that previously took 5 , 000 years - will instead take a few short decades . apes haven’t yet built the pre - industrial towns and cities we see in franklin j schaffner’s original movie , but it’s surely only decades away .

question : “you speak of telling the truth . do you think you telling people the truth about abominable snowmen will help them understand truth ? ”

this was the start of the famous attack , of which so much has been written in washington and oregon papers through out the years . most accounts tell of giant boulders being hurled against the cabin , and say some even fell through the roof , but this was not quite the case . there were very few large rocks around in that area . it is true that many smaller ones were hurled at the cabin , but they did not break through the roof , but hit with a bang , and rolled off . some did fall through the chimney of the fireplace . some accounts state i was hit in the head by a rock and knocked unconscious . this is not true .

as matt reeves told us before war ' s release , it ' s the question of how the apes wind up taking over the planet that makes this new series so engrossing .

the colonial film website is funded by the arts and humanities research council and features films from the british film institute , the imperial war museum , and the british empire and commonwealth museum .

next trip will entail tracing out the cabin perimeter and trying to locate the mine and spring in the story .

in 1922 we found the location of our mine . a spiritual being , a large indian dressed in buckskin , appeared to us and talked to us . he was the picture of stateliness itself . he never told us his name , but we always called him the great spirit . he replied once , “the great spirit is above me . we are all of the great spirit , if we listen when the great spirit talks . ”

i find it interesting how all three animated series featuring kong chose to portray him as a big friendly giant who befriends children and battles a mad scientist . the similarities between the last two series kind of make sense though , since king of the apes is basically a spiritual successor to the animated series and shares the same writer .

in the 60s apes films , the gulf of time between the human and apes civilisations meant that all knowledge of post - industrial technology had been forgotten . even the wisest of the apes scoffs at the idea that astronaut george taylor ( charlton heston ) arrived on their planet via a space craft . the new apes could easily side - step this ; in war , we see that helicopters and armoured vehicles - not to mention the fuel that powers them - still exists . there’s little reason why the apes , after waiting a few years for the simian flu virus to take its course , couldn’t simply move into the cities and take over .

the only time we shot our guns that night was when the creatures were attacking our cabin . when they would quiet down for a few minutes , we would quit shooting . i told the rest of the party , that maybe if they saw we were only shooting when they attacked , they might realize we were only defending ourselves . we could have had clear shots at them through the opening left by the chinking had we chosen to shoot . we did shoot , however , when they climbed up on our roof . we shot round after round through the roof . we had to brace the hewed - logged door with a long pole taken from the bunk bed . the creatures were pushing against it and the whole door vibrated from the impact . we responded by firing many more rounds through the door . they pushed against the walls of the cabin as if trying to push the cabin over , but this was pretty much an impossibility , as previously stated the cabin was a sturdy made building . hank and i did most of the shooting — the rest of the party crowded to the far end of the cabin , guns in their hands . one had a pistol , which still is in my family’s possession , the others clutched their rifles . they seemed stunned and incredulous .

the obvious direction for the franchise to go might be a partial remake of the original 1968 apes , where an astronaut lands and finds that the whole planet’s gone to hell . remember that , in rise of the planet of the apes , we briefly see on a television that a craft called the icarus has taken off on a mission to mars ; a reference to the craft that took heston on his fateful journey . a newspaper in a later scene states that the icarus is " lost in space " . while it could be left as an easter egg , the series ' producers at least have the option to return to it in a later movie .

staff role on the left , staff member ' s name on the right .

the attack ended just before daylight . just as soon as we were sure it was light enough to see , we came cautiously out of the cabin .

answer : “it is hard to classify a spiritual subject and apply a system to it . it is a difference in time , space and the movement of matter . they are different planes of consciousness . human consciousness is the highest form we know because all human life has the spark of the divine consciousness in their soul . but this world in which we live is not the only dimension that has human life . there are other planes of life , immaterial in comparison to our materiality . some of these planes , such as the ones mentioned above , are high , but there are also lower dimensions . ”

it ' s surely significant that war for the planet of the apes tells its story from the apes ' perspective more exclusively than any film in the series before it . in rise , there was scientist will rodman ( james franco ) who served as a human protagonist , and in dawn , there was human survivor malcolm ( jason clarke ) . in war , there’s only caesar ; he and his fellow apes may have nova ( amiah miller ) in tow , but she’s more a supporting character , like newt in aliens . this , as it turns out , is no bad thing ; war is as much about caesar’s internal battle as a physical war between ape and human , while the scenes between serkis and woody harrelson ' s ruthless colonel positively crackle with dark energy .

i have lived this experience with abominable snowmen . i have encountered them on the slopes of mt . st . helens . i have looked deep into myself to tell you of their nature .

carter , he said , had climbed the mountain with some companions on a warm , clear sunday . he left the group to take a picture and said he would ski to the left of the group . he was never seen again .

material things usually make a big splash in the material world , and spiritual things often do not make a ripple there . why ? we can give proof of a phenomenon , but its nature is immersed in the spiritual and can only be explained by laws of the spiritual .

in the first chapter i told about the attack , and now i want to go into the background , and tell a little concerning our activities . they will be colorful , and from them emerge a spiritual and metaphysical understanding of the case .

more expeditions to the site are planned in order to continue excavating the cabin’s remains .

when you have this bag of clues , it’s a lot of hunting and pecking . well , it could be this… . well , it could be that… .

the manuscript source is hard to trace back to its origins yet the evidence discussed here takes it only back to the late 1500 ' s where it was most likely a copy of a depiction from a secret ' forbidden ' manuscript . but here is the big mystery . where was the original source ? was it sourced from a monarchy owned library collection that got into the hands of an elite family member of the person who produced that which you see here ? this famous person who reproduced the image as discussed below probably reproduced this ancient knowledge detail from a rare ' forbidden manuscript ' .

anima mundi is the title covering the human beginnings text in the manuscript which in latin means " to bring fourth souls to the earth " . but on the page itself with the depiction , it has a page heading : " integra natura fpeculum artisque imago "

our time spent in mt . st . helens was a series of psychic experiences . the method we found our mine was psychic . i am mentioning these facts to help build a background of understanding in a case which has been wholly explained in a material sense . as i will explain the mysterious realities of the abominable snowmen , so must i show some of my inner experiences , for in my mind the two have always been closely connected together ; and as i will show , these beings bear a direct association with the psychic realm .

they told me the “selahtiks” migrated into canada , and in fact traveled the mountain ranges nearly to mexico . one of their favorite methods of traveling was floating down rivers at night , “like logs” . they told tales about them running away with squaws .

while the comedy , or attempts at comedy rather , can be childish at best , and the sometimes blaring environmental message , the series is actually pretty dark in the drama .

" it was really weird , " serkis said , when we asked him about shooting caesar ' s final scenes . " i knew we ' d have to shoot it one day , and it wasn ' t even the end of the shoot . it was about three quarters of the way through . i have a huge affection for the character - i ' ve played him through three movies , all the way from the beginning of his life to late maturity , shall we say . so playing that scene with karin - she ' s so extraordinary in that scene as well . we ' re both aware that it ' s the end of a chapter , and i really loved the challenges of playing caesar throughout the three movies . and i ' ll really miss him as a character , actually . "

there have been many reports of footprints in the area . some are described as being about 18 inches long and seemingly human .

there was no third step . this is certainly another indication of what i’m saying about manifestation . i have heard it said that many ages ago the rocky mountain and cascade mountain ranges were a center of a great civilization . i do think the mountain areas are extra sensitive to spiritual vibration , usually of a higher order , but sometimes lower . we ourselves being extra sensitive to spiritual vibration , probably had come into contact with the manifestation of these being easier than , perhaps , the average person would have .

answer : “to set the record straight . the incident of 1924 needs explaining that people can see it in fact . i was involved in it . i am 78 now and wish to put the facts before the people . i have never earned one cent from my experiences , and this is the first time i have written anything on the subject . ”

yes , but i cannot remember everything — that was over 40 years ago . i wish i could write more of such happenings , but i must keep in the central theme of my book . i remember one very dangerous thing : we were bothered with rats in the cabin , and we would shoot at them with a pistol . one of us would hold a lantern while another would shoot . hank had packed half a sack of dynamite inside the cabin , mistaking it for some potatoes one of the party had packed in . he shot several rats off the sack before any of us realized what was in the sack . he turned white as a sheet and had to sit down . and let me add another thing , if you boil beans in the mountains , put on a good lid and be patient . ”

story of how two youngsters round up crooks to blow up british fleet off gibraltar .

we got a little closer , and we all saw the image of a large door open , and the big indian appeared in front of it . he spoke : “because you have cursed the spirit leading you , you will be shown where there is gold , but it is not given to you . ”

i helped to get the chinking off him , and he jumped to his feet . then , we heard a great commotion outside : it sounded like a great number of feet trampling and rattling over a pile of our unused shakes . we grabbed our guns . hank squinted through the space left by the chinking . by actual count , we saw only three of the creatures together at one time , but it sounded like there were many more .

due to the sensitive nature of this historic site , i’m really , really , really sorry . but we can’t go into specific details about the site’s location . please don’t ask .

this is the second children film foundation film i have seen and is a good one . naval cadet roy savage pulls a pilot out of a crashed airplane and is rewarded with a trip to gibraltar . there he hooks up with nati banda and the two of them tangle with a comically inept band of saboteurs ; among their plots , they are trying to poison the rock ' s barbary apes , since everyone knows that when the apes leave , so will the british . director james hill gives us plenty of location shooting on gibraltar , lots of flag - waving action by the british navy in action and doesn ' t stint us on activity by miss banda , who is not in the film simply to tag along along . it ' s highly enjoyable kiddy fare .

most theories picture the snowmen as material beings hiding in caves , and scampering over the mountains . the law of probability would be that eventually one would be found if their bodies were of physical construction only . if one claims only the physical laws to explain their existence , then we can use a material logic to prove or disprove the premise . if they are material life definite material evidence would surely be found .

the beings we are considering in this book had their origin in this period of great chaos , evolving very slowly to their present nature .

first of all , i hope this book does not discourage too much those interested souls who are looking and trying to solve the mystery of the abominable snowmen . if someone captured one , i would have to swallow most of the content of this book , for i am about to make a bold statement : no one will ever capture one , and no one will ever kill one — in other words , present to the world a living one in a cage , or find a dead body of one to be examined by science . i know there are stories that some have been captured but got away . so will they always get away .

there we were standing in the middle of the sand bar , and not one of us could conceive any earthly thing taking steps 160 feet long . “no human being could have made these tracks , ” hank said , “and there’s only one way they could be made , something dropped from the sky and went back up . ”

it is the time for the world to pick up its ears about the subject of psychic phenomenon , and this more people are doing , but if there is a phenomenon , there is also a world from which its qualities are manifested .

the best thing about the new series of apes movies - particularly the matt reeves ones - is that they don’t hold anything back . there’s seldom the sense that plot threads and characters are being introduced to set up sequels and spin - offs ; death is ever - present in the apes movies . once a character’s gone , they’re gone .

but the excitement began with the discovery of the wire , about 16″ long with a coiled loop at one end , like for a bailing or a handle , sticking vertically in the ground . but a raptor could have been building a nest , grabbed it from woodland and dropped it here .

kong : king of the apes also shares a writer ( sean catherine derek ) and an executive producer ( allen bohbot ) with its predecessor .

this means that , from rise onwards , the new apes saga has always felt as though it’s been moving forward with purpose - events leading inexorably but absorbingly to the apocalyptic endgame we saw in the 60s and 70s movies . as we’ve seen with the star wars and alien franchises , making prequels can be a bit of a poisoned chalice : creating an interesting journey is difficult when we already know the destination . yet the nature of the conflicts in the apes films have always been compelling to watch ; whether it was caesar fighting for his freedom in rise , koba plotting against the humans in dawn , or caesar’s vengeful mission in war , there’s been a simmering tension in the apes films that was glaringly absent from the star wars prequels .
