Has anybody seen it yet?

There have been four motion pictures and dozens of TV specials, mostly created by Charles Schulz and his handpicked partners, it seems a little ambitious to title it The Peanuts Movie, no?

True. It would have been better, I think, to give it a more traditional name like, It's Whatever Happens In This Movie, Charlie Brown

Edgy MD Nov 09 2015 09:09 PM Re: Peanuts

Pat Zachry! And from a bidness standpoint, it would have implied a first step in relaunching the franchise, instead of the just, "Peanuts movie, done. No need to open THAT box again."

Sigh. But has anyone gone to see it?

Edgy MD Nov 09 2015 11:22 PM Re: Peanuts

I have not. But I am prepared to offer a favorable critique of Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown. Or, as we called it in the day, Genus Enim Animarum Vestrarum, Carolus Fuscus.

Sight unseen I think that you should take your granddaughter to see the film.

Well actually Kevin and I were thinking of going...

I like that one. I have to admit there a couple of the longer features I don't like much, but that one I do. Still thinking about this modern one. The trailor looks cute!

i can't get past this CGI animation -- Peanuts cartoons should be simple, hand-drawn cell animation, not high techy. It's just... wrong. ranking PEANUTS cartoons -- Top 12: A CHARLIE BROWN XMAS A BOY NAMED CHARLIE BROWN ITS THE GREAT PUMPKIN SNOOPY, COME HOME CHARLIE BROWN'S ALL-STARS A CHARLIE BROWN THANKSGIVING HE'S YOUR DOG, CHARLIE BROWN RACE FOR YOUR LIFE, CHARLIE BROWN YOU'RE IN LOVE, CHARLIE BROWN YOU'RE NOT ELECTED, CHARLIE BROWN IT'S THE EASTER BEAGLE, CHARLIE BROWN IS THIS GOODBYE, CHARLIE BROWN

Saw this yesterday and the very first and last scenes morph from line drawings to cgi and vice versa respectively, and it's so obvious which is better I'm surprised they left it in there to remind anyone. Movie itself not very funny but kind of sweet like Peanuts are. Almost all the laughs they go for come from older works -- Lucy getting freaked out by a dog kiss etc. Pretty bleh overall.
