Backed by The Who's "Baba O'Riley", this trailer gives a brief introduction to Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy, and the rest of the gang. The tone for this one is exactly right, perhaps because it was co-written by Schulz's sons Bryan and Craig, and the choice of animation style will be a comfort to traditionalists while still embracing of modern technology.
There's very little about this trailer that doesn't work for me, but then again I'm a Peanuts enthusiast. The other day I spent about three hours going through the Peanuts Wiki just to re-familiarize myself, and it's incredible the wide array of characters Schulz created and the topics he covered. Nearly all of those characters appear on the above poster, too.
The Peanuts Movie hits theaters on November 6th, and yep it's my most anticipated movie for the rest of the year. Is that crazy?
