Other mistake: When the kids leave Linus standing alone in the pumpkin patch, Sally decides to rush back to Linus, and when Linus explains that she'll see the Great Pumpkin with her own eyes, Sally's left arm is blue, the same color as her dress, then instantly changes to the normal flesh color within the same shot.

Other mistake: When Lucy asks for an extra piece of candy for her brother during the Trick or Treat scene, her right hand has five fingers when she holds it up, but her left hand only has four fingers.

Other mistake: There is very little drawn correctly about the neighborhood as Lucy and Linus are walking through it in the beginning. There are houses dotted throughout, but all directly on the grass. There's no streets, no sidewalks, no driveways, and most don't even have a garage. However there is one random electric telephone pole they pass.

More trivia for It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Question: There is something I don't understand about Linus in this special. He is flattered when Sally flirts with him by saying he says the cutest things, and that he's so intelligent. Linus usually rejects Sally's feelings whenever she flirts him. Why should this be any different?

Answer: From what I've seen, usually Sally is often annoying Linus with her flirting when he has nothing in common with her, or he's just trying to do something to help her and she tries to make it into more. Here, Sally's comments make Linus think she believes in the Great Pumpkin too, or is at least interested in hearing more about it. It's more that he's excited she likes the same thing as he does. Later in the pumpkin patch, he's happy she's there because he wants to share the experience with someone, not because he has any feeling towards Sally.

Answer: He can enjoy and bask in the flattery without reciprocating any feelings she may have.

Except he's never basked in her flattery in the past.
