This week we see the first full-length trailer for BlueSky Animation/Fox Family’s new “Peanuts” movie. As a lifelong fan of Charlie Brown and Snoopy in both comic strips and animation, I was worried. Could they make the jump to 3D computer animation while keeping the charm of Charles Schulz’ artwork? More importantly, could they keep the tone right, making the hero of the series a complete loser, and a kid you always wanted to see win? Based on this trailer, yeah. They can do all those things. I’m genuinely excited for this.
Official synopsis: Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus and the rest of the beloved “Peanuts” gang make their big-screen debut, like they’ve never been seen before, in state of the art 3D animation. Snoopy, the world’s most lovable beagle – and flying ace – embarks upon his greatest mission as he takes to the skies to pursue his arch-nemesis The Red Baron, while his best pal, Charlie Brown, begins his own epic quest. From the imagination of Charles M. Schulz and the creators of the ICE AGE films, THE PEANUTS MOVIE will prove that every underdog has his day.
