Having adapted themusicalYou're a Good Man, Charlie Brown three years prior, Charles Schulz once again opted to adapt the other musical with thePeanuts gang. Schulz had recently utilized many comic strips forThe Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show.Snoopy!!! The Musical marked the first time Snoopy was voiced byCameron Clarke: Clarke would go on to voice Snoopy inThis Is America, Charlie Brown and in theWorld of Snoopy storybooks.

The song "Poor Sweet Baby" was based on the comic strip on April 8, 1973, and the Broadway version song "Hurry up Face" was based on the comic strip on September 17, 1972.

The idea of Lucy mistaking a potato chip for a butterfly was borrowed from 1969'sIt Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown.

Stock footage was used for several sequences:

• Kids leaving school in "Just One Person" is fromYou're Not Elected Charlie Brown andBe My Valentine, Charlie Brown
• Charlie Brown kissing The Little Red-Haired Girl, flying and landing in his bed is fromIt's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown
• Peppermint Patty and Charlie Brown talking under the tree in "Poor Sweet Baby" is fromThere's No Time for Love, Charlie Brown andIt's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown

• Rerun makes a brief cameo in the song "I Know Now" after Linus upsets him and is confronted by their parents.
• The Cat Next Door appears on screen for the first time, resembling Brutus from the 1977 filmRace For Your Life, Charlie Brown.
• The Little Red-Haired Girl, again in the "Heather" version, appears comforting Charlie Brown in the "Poor, Sweet Baby" segment.

While it was released onVHS, it has yet to have an officialDVD orBlu-ray release in the U.S.
