The Mexican Immigrant Who Voiced Peanuts’ Snoopy And Woodstock

Here is a truly upbeat immigrant Christmas story.

Remembering the great animator Bill Meléndez, whom we lost #OTD in 2008. In 1965 he produced & directed one of the best half-hours of TV ever aired, A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS. A sheer delight!

One often forgotten Latino trailblazer is José Cuauhtémoc “Bill” Meléndez who helped to create the most iconic cartoon special ever.  An immigrant from Mexico, Meléndez gifted us “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”
