Review of The Peanuts Movie (2015) by Zack2981 — 08 Nov 2015

I've never thought I'd ever call something "the feel-good movie of the year" but The Peanuts Movie is exactly that. Everything about it was spot-on from the animation and the voices to the humor and tone. If you're like me and grew up watching Charlie Brown specials, then the feel of this movie will be immediately familiar, yet still seems modern. And the writers (Charles Schulz own children) somehow found a way to include every single Peanuts reference you could ask for without making it feel shoehorned in or patronizing.

No matter how old you are, you'll enjoy this movie. I guess if you just hate life in general, then you may not like this movie. Or if you require large explosions and shakey-cams to enjoy your theater experience then I suppose this movie could seem dull. But if you're up for a funny, charming, warm, positive film, you can't go wrong with this one. And I know that children enjoy it too because the little girl leaving the theater next to me wouldn't stop talking about it. I challenge you to see this movie and not leave smiling.
