Thanks to Charlie Brown's growing self-confidence and leadership, the gang is about to win the race at the climax after overcoming considerable odds. Charlie Brown says as a leader, it is incumbent on him to tackle problems and makes a dangerous descent down the water wheel to remove the log, getting the group moving again. However, this is noticed by the bullies, who stop the water wheel by jamming it with a log, which results in the merged group being stuck atop the wheel. The group goes down a log chute akin to a water slide at an amusement park. Charlie Brown starts to grow more into his leadership role. When the bullies sabotage the rafts of Peppermint Patty and Charlie Brown, the boy's and girls' groups work together on one raft, with Charlie Brown as the leader of the merged group. Snoopy abandons the race to search tirelessly for Woodstock when a storm separates them after a long search, they manage to find each other and are joyfully reunited. The groups run into different obstacles: getting lost, stranded, storms, blizzards, and sabotage from the bullies. True to Peppermint Patty's persona, when the outcome is unfavorable to her or ends in a tie vote, she tends to overrule the decision. His foil is Peppermint Patty, the leader of the girl's group, who is very confident despite her incompetence as a leader much of why she is incompetent as a leader is due to her insistence on every decision, no matter how minor, being confirmed by a group vote. Charlie Brown is a very reluctant leader of the boys' group, well-meaning but struggling with his insecurities. The children are broken into three groups: the boys' group: (consisting of Charlie Brown, Linus, Schroeder, and Franklin), the girl's group: (consisting of Peppermint Patty, Marcie, Lucy, and Sally), and Snoopy and Woodstock. The bullies are then forced to dislodge themselves from the dock while the other boats sail past, evaporating their ill-gotten head start. They blast ahead at the starting line, and while looking back laughing and smirking at the others they crash into a dock. However, the bullies' greatest flaw is their overconfidence. It is revealed that the bullies' "success" has always been through outright cheating, using a raft equipped with an out-boat motor, direction finder, radar, and sonar, and even resorting to every trick in the book they could think of to hamper or destroy everyone else's chances to even make it to the finish line, much less win the race. The only thing that keeps the bullies at bay is Linus using his security blanket like a whip (which also gets him unwanted attention from Sally due to her praising the courage of her " Sweet Babboo"). The gang must contend with a trio of ruthless bullies (and their cat, Brutus, vicious enough to intimidate even Snoopy) who openly boast of their having won the race every year they have competed.
#Racr for life portable#
Although they do their best to adjust to the rigors of camp at life, Snoopy, in a comfortable tent of his own, enjoys eating a banana split while watching TV on his portable set. They have to get used to the camp schedule being communicated in military time ( Franklin asks if "oh-five hundred" is noon, and Sally thinks "eighteen hundred" is a year). Upon their arrival, the children are immediately exposed to the regimentation and squalor of camp life, a stark contrast to their comfortable residences back home. He then is forced to ride on Snoopy's motorcycle to make the rest of the journey to camp, accompanied by rock guitar-type riffs while he is shouting in fear at Snoopy's wild driving. The Peanuts gang heads off to Camp Remote somewhere in the mountains, where they ultimately compete in a river rafting race Charlie Brown, true to form, is accidentally left behind by the bus while at a desolate rest stop.
