Has nobody seen this?

I plan to give a thorough review in about four to six months when no one cares as much.

I care.

. . .that said, I have seen it, and I really enjoyed it! There are moments from past specials that are reused here, but those are few and far in between. The spirit of the strip is kept intact, the characters are in-character, it's really funny. . .I don't know what else to say about it, other than Peanuts is alive and well, has been introduced to a new generation, and I couldn't be happier.

this was totally inoffensive yet pointless. not sure why it even exists.

The story gets repetitive, even at 90 minutes, but it keeps the stakes low, the humor mostly of a mild slapstick quality, and - outside of a few ill-conceived modern pop songs tossed in - maintains the retro charm of Schulz's strip. The biggest star-name here is Kristin Chenowith, and you wouldn't recognize her voice anyway. The art design deserves special mention for how it weds 3D characters to 2D compositions and adds in touches of hand-drawn animation and stop-motion while never feeling discordant. It's a lovely film that almost looks handmade.

Yeah, the movie might be made mostly out of Peanuts' greatest hits, but they still work really well. Martino and co. clearly understand Charlie Brown and friends and do a great job of bringing them to life. Lovely film.
