Review of The Peanuts Movie (2015) by Jacob — 25 Nov 2016
You made me cry Charlie Brown. Peanuts is a heartfelt film that will serve as a good introduction to Peanuts for children and remind adults why they fell in love with it to begin with and maybe appreciate it more.
The characters are the way you remember them brought to life by some amazing child acting. Charlie Brown is the loveble loser and his episodic stories to charm the Red Headed Girl are touching and relatable.
The ending may be a little out of character for the franchise but it is well earned and made me tear up. The fact that Blue Sky made a film of this quality is incredible because it is excellent. They bring they great animation to the forefront again providing a style that captures the spirit of the comic strips, take notes Sony Pictures, but are able to compliment it with a wonderful story.
Some Snoopy scenes are filler, there is one pop song too many, and I wish characters like Schroder had more to do but the elements that work overshadow everything else.
