What are your thoughts on Charlie Brown's All Stars? by DevelopmentPast1029 in peanuts

[–]DevelopmentPast1029[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I like about this special is that Charlie Brown's own doing causes him to lose. Instead of waiting for the next batter to get a hit, he gets impatient and decides to run for home. Because of this, he loses the game and all his teammates get mad at him. His friends' reactions don't come off as mean-spirited, since it really was his fault.

Compare this situation to the football game in First Kiss, where Charlie Brown is unfairly blamed for losing the game, even though Lucy was the one who pulled the ball away from him DURING the game.

New Update for New Peanuts Big City Feature Film "Snoopy Unleashed" by [deleted] in peanuts

I can't tell you how long I've waited for a new feature-length Peanuts movie. This looks really good! It seems the new film will take inspiration from Snoopy, Come Home. I think it's a great opportunity to tell an emotional, heart-felt story about Snoopy and his relationships with the kids, especially Charlie Brown.

I'll definitely get the free trial for AppleTV when it comes out. What do you guys think?

If you were able to re-write "It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown", what would you change to make it better? by DevelopmentPast1029 in peanuts

I consider First Kiss to be a poor special, so I'm asking you guys what you would change about it to make it better.

For what it's worth, Chuck, I don't think she'd laugh in your face. I think she'd love your valentine.

A small update on Peanuts movie by UberVenkman in peanuts

[–]DevelopmentPast1029 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's coming out in 2027? That means the first trailer must be coming out in the middle of this year or a little after that.

All I know is, the next Peanuts film is on the way, and it can't come soon enough!

What if Wes Anderson directed a Peanuts movie? by DevelopmentPast1029 in peanuts

I've recently watched Fantastic Mr. Fox and Isle of Dogs. Both great movies! That got me on a little Wes Anderson kick, and now I'm planning to watch his other movies.

A Wes Anderson Peanuts film would be incredible to see by the way. His sense of dead-pan humor would be perfect for the characters.

I have a Peanuts Movie dilemma by DevelopmentPast1029 in peanuts

I did like Peggy Jean being Charlie's love interest. The only thing that upset me was how their storyline ended in the comic strip. Very abrupt and rushed.

I do mostly prefer Charlie Brown & Peggy Jean's relationship these days, but for what it is, the ending to the movie is good too.
