When I first heard they were making a CG Peanuts movie, I wasn't so sure about it. But after seeing that trailer, I'm super excited for this film!

Can't wait!:D

BubblyShell22 03-18-2014 04:16 PM
Hmm. Looks interesting. I'll have to check this out as I've always been a huge Peanuts fan.

The trailer doesn't show much, and honestly I wasn't expecting much, but it does look like it could be fun. Peanuts is one of those things I've enjoyed as I've gotten older. It could be worth a watch.

I really like the look of it, especially how it combines some 2Dish animation in there. I don't really know how they could make a whole movie off of Peanuts, though...guess we'll wait and see. Although I'm happy they're starting to make cartoon movies actually animated (Mr. Peabody and Sherman, the upcoming Smurfs movie, and now this) the companies really need to stop relying on old cartoons and whatnot to make movies off of...where all the original ideas? Seems like Disney is the only one with any imagination these days.

I don't know if adaptations of "Rapunzel" and "The Snow Queen" count as original ideas.

I had to watch the trailer three times before I got used to the art style, why can't they just make a 2D animated film? Didn't the Simpsons movie prove that 2D movies can still make a profit?

I do like that the trailer manages to feel and look like a Peanuts cartoon. Hearing Snoopy's laugh made me smile, I'm glad that they seem to be trying to keep the spirit of the Peanuts, unlike all those other old cartoon movie remakes. I'm looking at you, Mr. Peabody & Sherman.

They've made movie's off the Peanuts before:

A Boy Named Charlie Brown
Snoopy, Come Home
Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown
Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (and Don't Come Back!!)

This will be the first Peanuts movie since 1980.

What exactly are you expecting them to come out with?

AT-Man 03-18-2014 05:11 PM
inb4 a plot that's involving an evil businessman or having the focus on someone else than Charlie and his friends.

And all those were traditional animation, This is the first Peanuts movie done in CGI, While still keeping the classic art style.

plastroncafe 03-18-2014 05:18 PM
I have to admit, I'm really kind of sold on the character designs.
Though...I thought Schlutz stipulated in his will that nothing be done with his characters after he died.

Guess that was a rumor...

Watch them again. The only thing similar to the original stories are the core ideas (long hair, queen who has snow powers). Other than that, they're basically completely original. And the 2D market is pretty much dead for feature length films. Disney didn't make TSM, but they did make the Princess and the Frog, which was in 2D, and it proved to be somewhat of a disappointment financially, and after Tangled was so much more successful, it's clear as to why they'd stick to CGI. Not saying I approve...but whatever.

Weren't those all like, TV specials or direct to video movies?

I haven't seen those movies yet. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they're fantastic movies with lots of original ideas, but like Aladdin and The Great Mouse Detective, they're based on pre existing stories. No matter how much original content they have, it dosen't change that those movies are remakes or reboots.

Nope, they were all released in theaters.

I love Peanuts! Looking forward to this!

Well, this show has had bullies mess with the gang before in films, example Race for your Life Charlie Brown.

These days I could see them making up some crazy adventure for them, or maybe make some thing similar to Race for your Life Charlie Brown or Bon Voyage Charlie Brown.

At first I was really worried about this, the animation is at least trying with these guy's and coming from along time Charlie Brown fan find it pretty good. Though, I wish they stuck to 2D animation for this but whatever :ohwell:

It's making me want to watch the series again :o

How many of you want to bet, if this film makes a lot of money in the box office they'll make another series with the same animation?

Wildcat 03-18-2014 07:02 PM
This looks awesome. Ive always liked Peanuts. I love Snoopy. He's my favorite. I have alot of Snoopy mini figures and plushies too.

I was sure everyone was gonna complain and say something like...."CGI Peanuts! Hollywood is evil!"

You can not complain about CGI when this is the first time said-franchise is being CGI'ed. When its the first time it actually does makes it unique from previous versions.

I saw people complaining about Sonic Boom...but its Sonic's first CGI series. Makes no sense to complain.

Written AND produced by Craig Schultz (Charles' son), Bryan Schultz (Craig's son), and Cornelius Uliano.

Nobody who complains about Sonic Boom hates it because it's CGI. Everyone loved the CGI Night of the Werehog short Sega made, the problem most have with Sonic Boom is the questionable and pointless redesigns.

Thankfully, this movie dosen't have that problem. I like how the camera is still 2D like the comic strips and the cartoons. I know I'm looking forward to this movie.

Although, I do wish they would have come up with a more creative title than "Peanuts". But that’s nitpicking.

RaphAndDonnie 03-18-2014 07:43 PM
I wonder how this movie will be. I quite enjoy how it looks sort of 2D like and cel shaded but also CGI.

I know alot of complaints are for the redesigns but I saw someone saying they should have used the 2D concept art posted on Sega's website. Its really the same redesigns except traditionally drawn.

Even if this new Peanuts did not have the 2D perspective it still looks great. The CGI itself looks unique enough to set it apart.

Redeemer 03-18-2014 08:10 PM
interesting I had no idea they were even working on this

TigerClaw 11-18-2014 11:26 AM
New Peanuts Trailer has been released, This new Trailer focuses on Snoopy.

TheSkeletonMan939 11-18-2014 01:38 PM
That trailer had some awful sound editing.

I'm hoping the film will utilize more characters than just Linus, Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and Lucy. Those are the only characters anyone knows. What about Violet, or Rerun, or 5, or Eudora? Heck, there are dozens of Peanuts characters they could use but never do... it's too bad.

BubblyShell22 11-18-2014 05:02 PM
Don't forget Pig Pen or Franklin, too. I've never heard of 5 though. Who's that?

What about Peppermint Patty and Marcie? If those two are in the movie, I hope they keep the whole thing of Marcie calling her Sir.

plastroncafe 11-18-2014 05:08 PM
If you freeze at 1:51 you'll see a lot of the characters mentioned.
I'm kind of excited by this, mostly because I love the animation style.

Jester 11-18-2014 05:15 PM
Hearing Linus and Lucy never ceases to make me smile.

BubblyShell22 11-18-2014 05:29 PM
Ah, yes, I almost forgot about Peppermint Patty and Marcie. Love those two for sure.

snake 11-18-2014 06:03 PM
I like this, although I would've perfered 2d, the animation looks awesome.

ObiWanFan4life 11-18-2014 06:43 PM
I'm not the biggest fan of The Peanuts, but I am looking forward to this movie. Judging by the trailers it looks like the filmmakers are staying true to the cartoon. I just hope they don't ruin the movie by trying to make it hip and making pop culture references.

Dirty Blond 11-18-2014 06:59 PM
How I hate him!

Jester 11-18-2014 07:02 PM
<--- hopes Woodstock and the other birds don't become the new Minions....

MikeandRaph87 11-18-2014 07:08 PM
Just saw this on Yahoo!

Is there a release date given yet?

Snoopy's Christmas. A rarely heard classic.

Christmas 2015.

TheCanadiandrome 11-18-2014 10:30 PM
i'll see it for craps and giggles

ObiWanFan4life 11-19-2014 04:38 AM
Funny, I heard a rumor about it being released on November 6, 2015.

LeotheLateBloomer 11-19-2014 06:01 AM
I am so looking forward to this. It looks like a good combination of 2D and 3D combined. I loved both trailers.

Poor Charlie Brown getting staired at by an angry cast and then getting laughed at. Sorry but am I the only one that HATED when Charlie Brown gets mistreated when I was younger? It was always a pet peeve of mine. I related to him the most.

Pretty sure 5 is the kid dancing in the Christmas special. The one in the orange shirt. I'm pretty sure his name was a number. I can't recall the twins' names.

BubblyShell22 11-19-2014 09:38 AM
Ah, I see. Thanks. I never heard of him.

And I was also one who always felt sorry for Charlie Brown. Guy never got what he really wanted, but that was the point as Charles Scultz based him on his own life.
