Product ReviewsThe Peanuts Movie (Blu-ray, 2015)

Great family fun.

It's Charlie Brown and Snoopy it can't be bad. I thought the plot was engaging enough and I just smiled wildly when that famous music hit its stride. I never missed Charlie Brown and the gang when I was growing up and this full length movie was more of the same. The graphics were good but the color pallet seemed a bit washed out at times but still highly detailed. I made the purchase eagerly and would like to see another.Read full review...

An Okay movie, but not equal to the brilliance of its source material

The Blue Sky production of this CGI Peanuts movie hits all the right notes without any of the magic. You wonder what their impetus was to do this movie besides cash in on the nostalgia that lies within all of us who grew up with Charles Schulz's brilliant creations. Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy & Linus all hit the cultural zeitgeist in the mid to late Sixites with a hit Xmas special, popular merchandising based on the inspirational quotes from the strip ("Happiness is a warm puppy"), and NASA's lunar module dubbed by the crew as “Snoopy” and a command module called “Charlie Brown.” However, as charming as the Peanuts gang always is, their relevance has faded over the past 50 years as more edgy comic fare pushed them out of the limelight - strips such as "Doonebury", "The Far Side", and "Calvin & Hobbs" have since replaced "Peanuts" as the highlights of what was once the funny papers. All that being said, "Peanuts" relevance in today's society is a bit of a stretch and nothing proves that more than watching this wistful piece of animated eye candy which desperately tries to find a place for Charlie and his friends in today's crowded animated feature marketplace. They hit all the rights notes - Snoopy & the Red Baron, the awkward never-ending yearning for the pretty little red-haired girl, problems in the school-room, and the kite-eating tree. Unfortunately, its an old song that, while still enjoyable, doesn't exactly get the blood-pumping or speak to current times. The Peanuts Movie is an ode to a fond memory and its real crime is that it resolves all of Charlie Brown's age-old problems - at the end, everyone realizes that Charlie Brown is a nice guy and a special fella, basically popping the balloon of Charlie's inferiority complex and ending our need to root for the guy. And once he's been embraced by his formerly dismissive schoolmates, the audience has for all practical purposes lost their need to be there for him. Its a let-down, but not nearly as ruinous as our seeing the face of the red-haired girl (which was ultimately a let-down as it could only be after years of build-up)! At the end of the day, I basically gave this film a chance and was disappointed that the magic was gone.Read full review...

good peanuts fare

Although I like Peanuts this almost seemed a cut and paste of other peanuts movies. I did not like that they took out any religious references such as Linus quoting scripture at the Christmas padgent. This was always included with Charles Schulz comics and even his movies. Sorry you had to be so politically correct. Read full review...
