On October 2, 1950 cartoonist Charles M. Schultz changed the comic world as readers were introduced to Charlie Brown and his friends in “Peanuts”. Since then the likes of Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang have become a household name in pop culture as their stories have been told in variety of mediums; such as television specials and a musical. Yet with the comic strip being so famous, it is hard to imagine that Peanuts have never had a feature length film hit the silver screen. That all changed this year when Blue Sky Studios released
The Peanuts Movie in theaters. Directed by Steve Martino as well as written by Craig and Bryan Schultz (whom are the son and grandson of Charles),
The Peanuts Movie commemorates the 65 year anniversary of the comic strip. So now that the film is out, does this movie do the Peanuts gang justice or does it have this Film Adventurer saying “Good Grief”?
The story to
The Peanuts Movie of course follows the adventures of Charlie Brown (Noah Schnapp). Tired of being a failure, Charlie Brown seeks to change himself in any way he can. A major incentive to Charlie's motivation comes in the form the Little Red Head Girl: a new kid whom Charlie Brown develops a crush on. As Charlie tries everything to impress this girl, Snoopy meanwhile does his thing by creating a story of him finding love and taking on his old nemesis: the Red Barron.
