Snoopy embarks upon his greatest mission as he and his team take to the skies to pursue their arch-nemesis, while his best pal Charlie Brown begins his own epic quest back home to win the love of his life.
Revisiting an impossibly distant, pre-internet era, this quirky, homespun animation about a boy and his beagle exudes a nostalgic charm.
The film is charming and whimsical but makes some very trenchant points about the grimmer side of an all-American childhood.
Charlie’s romantic bafflement is amusingly handled but the film struggles to stretch out the familiar Schulz cartoons into a substantial feature film.
Charming in that neurotically adorable way Charles Schulz established over many years, this is a fond continuation of the Snoopyverse.
Old-fashioned and adorable animation based on Charles M Schulz’s creation.
Colourful 3D animation brightens up the beloved creations of Charles Schulz, but the humour and observations remain the same.
It’s sweet enough but very thin.
Does a nice job of modernising the style of the old cartoons without losing their ramshackle spirit.
