Directed by Bill Melendez, the film featured the voices of Arrin Skelley, Daniel Anderson, Patricia Patts, Casey Carlson, Annalisa Bortolin, Laura Planting, and Bill Melendez himself.
The story followed Charlie Brown, Linus, Peppermint Patty, and Marcie as they traveled to France as part of a student exchange program, only to find themselves caught up in a mysterious letter and a spooky chateau.
