This movie is great. I mean it. There are only 2 things I think will keep me from liking this movie, number 1 is the era it came out in. If it came out any earlier, I would find it good, not great, but given all the schlock that only cares about being as far from 5e source material, I was surprised. The other one is my upbringing, I grew up watching peanuts shorts, and if I didn't watch them, I wouldn't recognize the peanuts tone, this movie has movie also doesn't need feel like an hour and half special. Normally when watching a peanuts short, I'm like, ugh, I don't wanna watch Charlie Brown And Lucy, go to snoopy. THis movie made me want to see Charlie Brown without snoopy. And the ending isn't one of the best, I'm not gonna spoil it, your just gonna have to watch this movie for yourself

When I heard that they were making a CGI Peanuts movie a couple of years back, I got nervous. I didn't want them update this classic material, of which I proudly grew up on with my whole family, to modern times, so it can laughably become dated in the next decade. To my delight, they didn't do any of that. The film is as true to the original comics as any Peanuts TV special in the past. They use the 50 year old, tried and true formula, and even in the decade of IPhones, and memes and hashtags, the Peanuts are still as charming as ever. Seemingly frozen in time, it tells a story of how Charlie Brown tries to overcome his status as the neighborhood sad sack, and be as cool as the other kids. He realizes in the end, that you need to love yourself, in order for others to love you. Meanwhile Snoopy goes on another Red Baron adventure, and it's created fabulously in CGI. I don't think the film is as deep or as insightful as I wanted it to be (no Pixar edge), But I adored the animation, and the seamless voice work from the all-children cast. Hearing archival audio from Bill Melendez for the voices of Snoopy and Woodstock was a fantastic touch.

A sweet movie about the shy Charlie Brown who has a crush on a the new girl. He tries to impress her by "being a winner" instead off the boring kid that he used to be. Meanwhile his dog Snoopy goes on a flying adventure to rescue his new found love, Fifi...I liked this movie a lot. I loved that I finally get to see the face off the red-head from the Cartoon.I liked her as a person. She was seemed really smart and sweet. This movie is really funny great but even though I don't like the new art style that much but I got used to it. The characters were great and just like the series which maked me feel nostalgic since I am a big fan off the cartoon.I think the movie's message is that you should be yourself and believe in yourself to never give up. I love a "feeling good movie"Although I find the Snoopy flying story a bit boring but otherwise this movie was great but it could have been a bit longer or more Charlie Brown scenes and less Snoopy flying around...

Review: For a cartoon, which first came to light in 1950, it's amazing that it is still pulling in audiences around the world. I watched the specials that came on TV and I liked the toys and the comic strips but I wasn't a die hard fan like a lot of people around the globe. Personally, I liked Snoopy more than the various characters, because of his wild behaviour and the mischief that he got up with his little yellow friend Woodstock. With the technology that is available now, I was expecting something amazing from this film but the director decided to stay true to the original concept and the style of animation. From an adults point of view, I didn't find the movie that funny or entertaining, mainly because the storyline wasn't that great but I can see kids loving it and it's a great day out for the whole family. Charlie Brown's insecurities, at such a young age, became a bit tedious after a while, which is why Snoopy is so great. The fact that he doesn't speak, makes his face expressions and mannerisms even more amusing, and his loyalty to Charlie Brown is quite sweet. This movie is based on Charlie Brown falling in love with the new school girl, and next door neighbour, the Little Red Hair Girl but he can't pluck up the courage to speak to her. All through the movie, he tries different methods to get close to her but all of his plans lead to a dead end. It's quite a basic plot which lacked adult wit! I have to commend the animators for staying true to the original look and feel of the classic but for this day and age, I was expecting more. I know that Charles M. Schulz never wanted to make a full blown animation movie so it had to be close to the original for the owners to agree to the release, which is why they never changed any aspects of the characters. With that in mind, I can totally understand why the film was made this way, and I appreciate the efforts that were made to keep it as close as possible to the original but I still would have liked something fresh and different from these iconic characters. Watchable!Round-Up: This movie was directed by Steve Martino, who also brought you Horton Hears a Who!, and Ice Age: Continental Drift. He also made 4 shorts for the Ice Age franchise but apart from that, he hasn't had that much experience in the animation world, which is why it was a big surprise that he was trusted with such a large project. He done well in terms of keeping the die hard fans happy and keeping the animation close to Charles M. Schulz original work, which must have been hard because the characters are known around the world. Its good to see that this movie made such a big profit because the franchise was definitely unique and it's nice to see them brought back to life after such a long time. Budget: $99million Worldwide Gross: $246millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their animation/adventure/comedies, voiced by Noah Schnapp, Trombone Shorty, Kristin Chenoweth, Rebecca Bloom, Anastasia Bredikhina, Francesca Capaldi and Alexander Garfin. 5/10
