Well, they made Charlie Brown look like a winner by letting Charlie Brown talk to the Little Red-Haired Girl, what a twist!


I also liked the Red Baron fantasy sequences!



Blue Sky seemed like the right fit!

If only it didn't have three pop songs sandwhiched in the same scene!


What do you think?

Surprised nobody responded to this thread!!

Thank goodness Blue Sky did a good job at this film. And I hope other animation studios will get influences from this film to make CGI film done in 2D style animation like this.

I saw it and to the first poster, you gave the little red haired girl ending away 😃..anyway, I liked the story, the Charlie Brown one, specifical, Snoopy almost as much....and I agree with the last poster's comment about more studios doing this kind of film.

The movie will be released down here in New Year's.

I watched the movie 2 times,
& I think the movie is great.


& here is what Jerry Beck says in the comments
in "The Hollywood Reporter" website
on 11/2/2015:

Jerry Beck:
"I saw the film. It's great.
The use of the modern pop song by Meghan Trainor
is used only in a fantasy sequence during the school dance.
It works for that scene."

Great movie! I especially liked how they reused Bill Melendez's old Snoopy and Woodstock vocal effects, along with giving the original Patty and Violent prominent appearances. I also liked it during the end when they showed Snoopy as the Flying Ace with his siblings (Spike, Belle, Olaf, Marbles and Andy.) It was very faithful to the comic strip and the TV specials.
When Lucy pulled the football away at the end, I jumped out of my seat and groaned! Having read a ton of the strips, there was some material that I knew was going to happen. The ending did remind me quite a bit of the ending to "You're in Love, Charlie Brown."
My only problems with it were the music (not enough Vince Guaraldi tunes, and a little too pop/contemporary-ish at times), and how they put Peppermint Patty, Marcie and Franklin in the same class as Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, etc. I thought those three were supposed to go to a different school!

Overall, it reminded me a lot of the Peanuts specials made since the early 2000s in some ways. Charles Schulz would have been proud...

It's Meghan Trainor, Charlie Brown.
In Entertainment Weekly (August 7, 2015),
there was a brief article about singer Meghan "All About the Bass" Trainor
writing the song "Better When I'm Dancin'" for the animated feature The Peanuts Movie.
Director Steve Martino asked her to create a song about confidence.

When Trainor began suffering vocal troubles on tour earlier in 2015,
she found her inspiration for the tune. "I feel better when I'm on stage, dancing and distracted," she explained.
"So that's what I wrote about: feeling better when you're dancing and forgetting about everything else."
