Review of The Peanuts Movie (2015) by Shane D — 20 May 2016

Simply feels far too rehashed. It mimics nearly every aspect of the original, sometimes a bit too much. While it's nice to see a reboot be accurate to its source material, this movie coasts on nostalgia and adds nothing new to the series.

It's plot is paper thin. I normally wouldn't mind that in a movie like this, but this one felt too padded out with slapstick and Snoopy shenanigans. The animation is very good. It manages to resemble the old animation quite a bit, while still looking very unique and advanced at the same time.

Overall, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for nostalgia. If you're looking for something new, you won't find it here.
