Console best movie i've ever seen.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

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.

Clifton Johnson The good news is that this movie captures the best of Peanuts animated specials: adult neuroses via childlike dialogue, amusing visual gags, charming characters. The bad news is that it also captures the worst of those tv shows: minimal plot, random/long Snoopy interludes and self serious thematic speeches. The animation style was perfect (and beautiful), but the movie was still uneven.

grantss The Peanuts gang - Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Woodstock, Sally, Linus, Lucy, Marcie, Peppermint Patty, Schroeder, Franklin and Pigpen - are back. Some stories from the lives of these children, including Charlie Brown's infatuation with the Little Red Haired Girl and Snoopy vs The Red Baron.Sweet, fun movie. Captures the spirit of the original cartoon reasonably well. Some great stories, and a pretty moral to it all at the end.Not quite the Charlie Brown I remember though. The cartoons, while suitable for children, often had very clever adult-orientated witticisms in them. This movie feels a bit dumbed-down, like it is meant more for kids than adults. The rather plastic music of the soundtrack reinforces the view.Overall, still a good movie and ideal for all ages.

MartinHafer Charlie Brown is flustered. The cute little red-haired girl has just moved to town and is in his class. While he's desperately infatuated with her, he's convinced he needs to accomplish something amazing in order to get her attention.When I was a little boy, I went to see "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" in the theater....and I bawled my eyes out. After all, Charlie Brown seemed about to really accomplish something and kids would stop mistreating him....and then he failed and things were back as they used to be...with him being a miserable nice kid. Because I grew up feeling so awful for him, as did most folks of my generation, then I think that "The Peanuts Movie" will really, really appeal to you. For once, Charlie Brown makes good...and the film seems like an excellent way to cap off the wonderful work of Charles Schulz. It's a shame he didn't live to see this delightful film.So why is the film so nice? Well, it's not just that Charlie Brown finally finds happiness but the audience does as well--with lots of gentle nods to the old Peanuts animated specials and characters who were not updated too much. Lucy is still pretty awful, Linus still very thoughtful and the rest of the characters rather sweet. Overall, a delightful film that adults might just like and appreciate more than the kids. Sweet and well made.By the way, the IMDb trivia says that the flying ship Fifi is stuck on resembles the Hindenburg. Well, it doesn't. Its shape is those of the WWI Zeppelins--the Hindenburg was fatter and with a much more rounded nose. In other words, the filmmakers got it right...and the ship should have been 1910s vintage, not that of a mid-1930s Zeppelin. Just a bit of trivia for aviation buffs!
