Early Look At The “Peanuts” Movie

By Reggie's Take on November 17, 2014

Everyone’s favorite block-head will be headed to the big screen in an all new computer-animated feature that will bring Charlie Brown and his dog Snoopy to life in 3D for an updated 21st-century audience.

Co-written by Charles Schulz’ son Craig Schulz and grandson Bryan Schulz, Peanuts will remain true with the late Charles M. Schulz’ original creations, meaning there will be no attempt to update, modernize or introduce newer characters.

There has been no announcement as who will be doing the voices for the movie, but archival recordings of the late Bill Melendez will be re-used to give Snoopy and Woodstock “voices”, that seems pretty cool in my book.

The fun part about the “Peanuts” movie for me is they will be taking the audience inside Snoopy’s imagination with the continuation of Snoopy fighting the Red Baron during aerial dogfights in WWI. Craig Schulz and director Steve Martino even went up in an actual biplane to give those scenes some realism in the movie.

Craig Schulz said “We really get to go into his mind and see what this crazy dog is imagining every day of his life,”

The story will follow Charlie Brown with indomitable optimism on a quest to get something he’s sure he needs, even though he discovers he’s pretty OK just as he is.

Will he finally get to kick the football? Let’s hope so.

Unfortunately you will have to wait almost a year before your able to see the new “Peanuts” movie as it won’t hit theaters until November 6th, 2015.
