Snoopy and Charlie Brown: The Peanuts Movie

Snoopy and Charlie Brown: The Peanuts Movie

Animation, Adventure, Comedy

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.


The critical consensus

Revisiting an impossibly distant, pre-internet era, this quirky, homespun animation about a boy and his beagle exudes a nostalgic charm.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 17/12/2015

The film is charming and whimsical but makes some very trenchant points about the grimmer side of an all-American childhood.

***(*)(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 17/12/2015

Charlie’s romantic bafflement is amusingly handled but the film struggles to stretch out the familiar Schulz cartoons into a substantial feature film.

***(*)(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 18/12/2015

Charming in that neurotically adorable way Charles Schulz established over many years, this is a fond continuation of the Snoopyverse.

***(*)(*)Ian Nathan, Empire Online, 22/12/2015

Old-fashioned and adorable animation based on Charles M Schulz’s creation.

****(*)Eddie Harrison, The List, 21/12/2015

Colourful 3D animation brightens up the beloved creations of Charles Schulz, but the humour and observations remain the same.

***(*)(*)Mark Kermode, The Observer, 20/12/2015

It’s sweet enough but very thin.

***(*)(*)Henry Fitzherbert, Sunday Express, 20/12/2015

Does a nice job of modernising the style of the old cartoons without losing their ramshackle spirit.
