Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the Peanuts comic strip gang return to OTT screens in a lively musical that sets the mood for a whole new camping adventure. The Peanuts comic strip, which premiered in 1950, is still audience-friendly friendly with newer fans attaching themselves to the Peanuts bandwagon. This is the first Peanuts musical in over 30 years, and its release this year marks the 75th anniversary of Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the Peanuts gang.
The gang doesn’t have to answer to anybody. They stay outside all day and are never supervised by adults. This time, their favourite camping ground happens to be Cloverhill Ranch. An excited Charlie Brown is all set to help break in first-timer Sally, who is anxious about the trip. She would rather be in front of a TV, though. There are so many activities to partake in…
The animated characters are charming, and their antics in the delightful musical setting make for prime visual fodder. Snoopy and his companions basically engage in explorations of friendship and creativity, while experiencing the joys of summer vacation. The voice actors do a good job conveying the essence of the characters. Snoopy is on his own most of the time, but he does come good when consoling Charlie Brown. This is a kinder, gentler, optimistic and endearing version of the Peanuts strip. The story’s focus on childhood milestones and traditions is heartwarming.
Bryan Schulz, Craig Schulz, and Cornelius Uliano dream up a scenario that is universally appealing. This animated musical film manages to capture the charm of the Peanuts characters, showcasing the beloved characters in a light-hearted and nostalgic way. In fact, this happens to be a pretty fun musical. The film features classic songs and playful storytelling that remind viewers of the joys of childhood. The musical numbers are catchy and complemented by classic Peanuts humour, ensuring that it remains entertaining throughout its runtime. This musical features five new songs, two by the team of Jeff Morrow, Alan Zachary, and Michael Weiner, and three by Ben Folds. Tunes penned by Ben Folds, When We Were Light and Look Up, Charlie Brown, are two standout numbers here. Music director Jeff Morrow’s electric piano instrumental for the closing credits is groovy and gets you going. The beloved characters in playful mode, combined with hummable tunes, bring nostalgia and sentiment to the fore.
The animation and the character designs are faithful to Charles Schulz's original artistic style and make for a vibrant, engaging visual experience. The animation bursts with colour, making visuals quite entrancing. The animation style successfully channels the spirit of classic Peanuts of yore. The colour palette and detailing evoke nostalgic memories.
The narrative tempo and energy are inveigling. This is a delightful addition to the Peanuts franchise. The film is heartwarming in its entirety and is likely to appeal to both children and adults.
