I don't feel the way I'm supposed to feel

I don't feel the way I'm supposed to feel draws from the first eight seconds of A Charlie Brown Christmas, a 1965 animated television special based on the narrative world of Charles M. Schulz’s newspaper comic strip Peanuts. Downloaded, burned to DVD, and installed on a 2002 iMac G4, the loop presents what was originally a hand drawn animation sequence shot on celluloid and broadcast to televisions annually throughout the United States: on CBS for the first 35 years, on ABC for the following 20 years, and now Apple TV+. The scene is accompanied by the original source sound of Vince Guaraldi’s jazz score—here reduced to the first two bars.
