It Was My Best Birthday Ever, Charlie Brown!	comment	It Was My Best Birthday Ever, Charlie Brown! is a direct-to-video animated musical special, released on August 5, 1997. It is the last animated Peanuts special released before creator Charles M. Schulz's death in 2000, and is one of only two to not yet air on TV.In this special, Linus is roller-skating after he attends a birthday party, and on his way back home, he hears someone singing beautifully and he enters a garden and sees that a girl named Mimi is the one who was singing. After he meets her and gets to know her, he invites her to his own birthday party and she accepts.Everywhere he goes before the party happens, he hears her singing in his head and somewhat goes insane due to it. Lucy is at first doubtful that she will even show up, but Linus is sure she will and happily awaits her until the party happens.
