I'm watching the Peanuts movie and it's way more charming than it has any right to be. Charlie Brown is trying to improve himself to impress the little red head girl gosh darn it instead of just wallowing in self-pity and anxiety and crippling, disabling depression and I didn't expect that.

So for that, behold Peanuts in its purest form! (December 23, 1969)  (Seriously, I'm sure The Peanuts Movie is okay for what it is. It's not like anybody counts the animated stuff as canon, anyway.

I mean I did grow up watching the Charlie Brown specials and reading some of the comic strips when available (it was never big where I lived) so I know that Charlie Brown's thing is having the worst goddamn luck and everybody just disliked him despite being a relatively harmless kid but despite that he never gave up and would always try to kick that football and win that baseball game and fly that kite and get his dog to respect him and talk to the little red haired girl but he never could and that made him, in my opinion, an annoying bundle of nerves and self loathing. I liked the movie because goddammit he finally got the little red haired girl to talk to him and flew that kite and earned the respect of the other kids.

So what you're saying is the movie is the story of Charlie Brown gradually remembering that, back in the 1950s, he was awesome.

Honorable people can have different views, and I respect the validity of your experience (even if I vented all over it), but I'm also assuming we both agree that it was a step too far when Spike took over in the 80s and the strip went all loopy and sentimental.

I don't recall much of Spike (Snoopy's brother right) other than being amused by his appearance Edit: and that he slept in a little Datsun where the seat folded down Somebody repost the strips when the little red haired girl moved away and Linus just goes apeshit at Charlie Brown

I could accept compromises like having the Little Red-Haired Girl be visible and having all the kids be in the same class (when in the strip, Linus and Sally are younger, Peppermint Patty and Marcie go to a different school, etc.). But the ending, man. Having everyone line up to tell Charlie Brown what an awesome guy, heroic even, he is? it just smacks of not trusting the audience to get the message. It's as if Rocky ended with ten minutes of everyone shaking Rocky's hand and telling him what an amazing job he did in the fight.

A little somber, but it's actually a worthwhile lesson. (The clip is a big-rear end spoiler if you're planning on watching it.) I've been kicking the newer movie down the road for awhile, but I've got enough Google Play credits that I might go for it. (e: Or at least I would if it was a rental.)

It's pretty good, the animation style is dead on, the kid voice acting is pretty great (Peppermint Patty is spot on to how I imagined her sounding in my head) but the Snoopy/Flying Ace bits drag on a little too long. And that clip you posted is one of the reasons I liked the ending. Let Charlie Brown have an explicit victory already, jeez, the little guy has had 70 years of tough moral victories and lessons.
