It's the 40th anniversary of the Peanuts gang, and Snoopy and his brothers are ready to shine—or at least get some attention. When an "Ugly Dog" contest comes to town, the siblings decide Olaf should be their representative, much to Snoopy's chagrin. Meanwhile, Charlie Brown and Marcie bond at summer camp, Peppermint Patti struggles through summer school, and Linus takes his Great Pumpkin crusade to the streets. As the Peanuts crew navigates the ups and downs of childhood, they discover that true friends and a little self-acceptance can get you through anything—even an embarrassing dog show.
