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!

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.

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

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?

What exactly are you expecting them to come out with?

inb4 a plot that's involving an evil businessman or having the focus on someone else than Charlie and his friends.

Next to Inside Out, this was my favorite animated film of 2015. From start to finish I felt like I was reliving my childhood. What I've always loved about the Peanuts is that they always seem like real kids. There is always a character a kid can relate too. Plus, how could anyone not love such a loyal and unique dog like Snoopy?
Spoiler:
I'm also so glad that Charlie Brown finally became a winner at the end of the film and the Little Red-Haired Girl recognized how special he was.
I think Charles Schulz would be so proud of his kids and grand-kids for making this film.

Do you think it will merit another film? I dont mean a direct follow up just another Peanuts movie at all. It cost 97 million to make and only has little profit thus far. At this point is has made 100 million in domestic and 110 million overall, just 10 million coming from foreign countries. I guess it has not been released in most foreign markets. I suspect strong DVD sales for this film will boost it as well.

I went back to see it today and I was smiling and laughing the entire time. I'm so thankful to have these characters who have been a part of my life since I was three years old to return to big screen in the best way imaginable.
