In a world he didn’t create, in a time he didn’t choose, one man looks for signs of God in the world by … watching movies. When he’s not reviewing new releases for Aleteia, David Ives spends his time exploring the intersection of low-budget/cult cinema and Catholicism at The B-Movie Catechism.

Peanuts...Couldn't that be a nickname for The One?

It was a nice little film. Could have been shorter, though. I enjoyed Snoopy’s scenes the most. He seemed extra cuddly with his added fur. ; )

It's running 86% “Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes. That's pretty good.

What? No transgendered characters? Pig Pen isn’t attacked by the EPA? Peppermint Patty and Marcie aren’t french-kissing?

Was a cute movie. A bit long for kids with the 30 minutes of previews these days, but enjoyable. Stayed true to the spirit of the comic strip.

“to prove he’s worthy of the girl’s attention by finally winning something, anything, just once in his life.”

My favorite Peanuts cartoon has Linus and Charlie Brown leaning on a fence. Linus says, “Well, you know how it is, Charlie. You win some, you lose some.”

Charlie says, “Sigh. Wouldn’t that be nice?”

It’s obviously not a Disney movie. Good for them.

Never really liked Peanuts. Too non confrontational and might have been the foundation for today’s GOPe/RINOs.

Always wanted CB to grow a pair, punch a few kids in the face and kick Lucy through the goalposts!

I’m so glad it looks to be a great family film.

Peanuts is literally the LAST family-friendly property that has not surrendered to being defiled by Hollywood with adult jokes and gross-out humor. The Muppets certainly has fallen into that hole.

I watched some trailers last night, and while months ago I was afraid that the stylistic changes would hurt the end production, it really does flesh out the world they inhabit better without giving away too much, if that makes any sense.
They stayed faithful the the vision of Schultz even though he didnt want any new cartoons to be made. Seeing the state of America today, I’m glad they did make this as kids really need to have one cartoon series that actually projects the good in this nation and the values that we used to have.

Any conservative parent should consider getting their kids into Peanuts. I have a huge collection of books of the strips going back to when I was a kid, and they never fail to get me to laugh and think. They always embodied great moral and maturity lessons, and never strayed from being totally innocent.

Charles Schultz was a secular humanist lib. I refuse to take my kids to this subversive filth, and I feel bad for people who keep falling for ‘cute’ Hollywood.

We just took our 2+ yo granddaughter to this entertaining movie. Charles Schulz would have very much approved. Our granddaughter was delighted and watched in spellbound silence occasionally giggling. My fun was in watching her enjoy the movie.

Watching the ads I am amazed that the actor’s voices sound the same. Aren’t those “kids” 50 years old? LOL!!!

I am going to pay money to see this movie and I’m 60 years old. I hope this is a big hit and studios finally realize you don’t need scatological “humor” to entertain kids.

I own the 60s collection DVD and love it . Those were
the ones i liked best. I did not
get the 70s DVD because those shows had pacing that was all wrong . Too much busy stuff. Wish they had made a
Thanksgiving Show in the 60s instead of the 70s.
I may see the movie though.
