SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

aldunisch This was a very cool film. I like how they stuck to what Chuck was! Anyone remember Rose is Rose? Calvin and Hobbes?

Gavin Purtell 'The Peanuts Movie' (or 'Snoopy and Charlie Brown: The Peanuts Movie', as it's billed in some places) seems long overdue, seeing as Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts comic strip has been around since 1950. Since he passed away in 2000, Schulz's children have done well continuing on his legacy, as this film honours him and Peanuts well - the animation is quaint at times, but detailed and colourful when needed.The whole Peanuts gang is here - the klutz Charlie Brown (Schnapp), the nagging Lucy (Miller), Charlie's best friend Linus (Garfin), the odd-pair Patty & Marcie, Charlie's sister Sally, the followed-by-a-cloud-of-dust Pig-Pen and, of course, Snoopy the beagle and Woodstock the bird. The film's set in winter, so there's plenty of snow and ice skating, and plenty of opportunities for Charlie Brown to embarrass himself. Plot = new girl moves in across the road, Charlie Brown spends the entire movie trying to impress/talk to her!This director has form, with 'Horton Hears a Who!' and does well to keep things happening, especially when Snoopy's daydreaming and dogfighting in the European WWI skies against the Red Baron! The other adult reference kids won't get is Charlie Brown reading Leo Tolstoy's 'War and Peace' - a 1,200+ page book for his book report - and asking for "Leo's Toy Store" at the library! I didn't like the weird sounds they used in place of adults/teachers, but otherwise it's well made.

irishboy141 I have never seen ANYTHING Peanuts related except the occasional comic strip (blasphemy I know ha-ha), but I LOVE this movie!The animation is wonderful, it stays true to the original comic style, while bringing it successfully into 3D animation.The story/characters are very wholesome/entertaining (Everyone has a character moment). Also, this film doesn't ape off previously iconic moments, its a lovely little movie on it's own merits.A must watch!

ejl-41750 Being a big Peanuts fan as I am, I was excited to see this film. Happy to say that it was well worth the watch and more.First of all, it's kind of nice that an animated film from this era has a story related to life's simple things rather than have a big action-packed adventure for once. We see Charlie Brown deal with things from writing a book report to getting ready for a school dance, but his biggest challenge here is working up the courage to ask the red-haired girl out. And another thing we see here is a journey in Snoopy's imagination as The World War I Flying Ace fighting against The Red Baron to save the girl dog Fifi. Although most people see it as dumb filler, I think it's entertaining and serves as a great parallel to Charlie Brown's struggles.Next, the great characters that we all know and love haven't been tampered with one bit in this film. First of course, is the main character Charlie Brown, who is the honest and warmhearted boy that we all want to see achieve his goals. Following him in his quest are his sweet but slightly crazy sister Sally, his nice helpful and supporting friend Linus, the hilariously mean Lucy, the piano and Beethoven obsessed Schroeder, the tomboyish Peppermint Patty and her friend Marcie, the nice but quiet Franklin, and of course Charlie's funny and lovable dog Snoopy along with his bird friend Woodstock.Also, when the trailers were first out, people had concerns about the animation being done in CGI. While I admit I was a little bit among that crowd, at the same time, I was curious to see how it translated. It's nice to see that they did a fantastic job with it. They did not stray away from the classic style backgrounds, character animation and designs, while at the same time adding some slightly new dimensions and textures.Final Thoughts: The Peanuts Movie is a great animated film that proves the Peanuts can be relevant in our modern culture without resorting to the use of modern technology or pop-culture jokes. And it also proves that less is most indeed more. I recommend everybody watches this film at least once, especially long-time die-hard Peanuts fans. I also highly recommend this as a film for parents to pick up and watch with the children for a family movie night.10/10
