But Lee Mendelson and Bill Melendez, working from a witty and insightful script by creator Charles M. Schulz, managed to make a film that was always true to the subdued spirit of the strip.
Using "real" children rather than veteran child actors for the voices resulted in some occasionally stilted line readings, but it also captured the innocence and heightened naturalness that is so much a part of the strip's appeal.

ToxicUniverse.com - Bill Melendez - 1969 - Boy Named Charlie Brown, A Movies Review
A Boy Named Charlie Brown is animated in a sparse, restricted style typical of the '60s—and, unlike so much other animation of the period, it's a style that suits the film perfectly.
Its director, Bill Melendez, had already collaborated with Charles Schulz on several Peanuts television specials; by the time of their first feature, they had cultivated a creative synergy that resulted in some of the most worthwhile animated productions of the time, on large-screen and small.
