That Animated Peanuts Movie Still Doesn’t Look Half Bad

I’m still not totally convinced this is a good idea or is going to result in anything great. But this full-length trailer is pretty nice.

I do like the idea that the writers are focusing on the Little Redheaded Girl for the main plot. That’s kind of nifty. And the animation looks pretty cool, I’ll give it that. Let’s all just keep kind of hoping that The Peanuts Movie turns out pretty good.

Also, why not called it Peanuts: The Motion Picture? Somebody needs to bring that back…

Only Slightly New Peanuts Trailer, But It Serves My Needs

The first full trailer for the new Peanuts movie was Christmas-themed, as was the style last month. Well a new trailer has hit the web that is almost exactly like the last trailer, except it removes the Christmas decorations. Me thinks this was the original trailer all along, but somebody had the bright idea last time to associate the Peanuts with Christmas.

I’m still happy with what I see of the animation. Maybe this won’t be a big mess.

But the larger point here is that today is movie trailer day! For you see, tonight, during the premiere of Agent Carter, Marvel is going to debut the first full-length Ant-Man trailer! I’m on pins and needles! So I wanted to use this Peanuts trailer as a lead in to the Ant-Man trailer later today. Maybe it will link to the web early, or maybe we’ll all have to wait until tonight to see the trailer hit the web.

Whenever it arrives, I promise you fine folks, I will drop whatever I’m doing and post it!

Let’s hope I’m not holding a baby…

Why Did No One Tell Me They Were Making a Charlie Brown Movie?

I think it looks kind of adorable, quite frankly. It looks like a fun, stylized, modernly animated take on Charlie Brown and Snoopy. And that music is the music of life. Here’s hoping that whoever is behind this movie makes it a good one. I long ago gave up all hope that any classic cartoon or comic was sacred, and that Hollywood would actually try to preserve something. So I’m cool with the Peanuts being turned into a film. Why not? No point in fighting the inevitable. But man, this is Charlie Brown! Don’t we all owe a little part of our souls to Charlie Brown?

I hope my favorite Peanuts character, 5, is in the movie
