AniNate Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 http://collider.com/peanuts-movie-details-rating-paul-feig/ The movie will be G, theyre not "modernizing" the characters, and theyre sticking with the lighthearted spirit, not making it wacky like Space Jam or Peabody. I'll believe it when I see it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenstate5 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 To be fair, Peabody was a pretty wacky short on Rocky and Bullwinkle. This will be great, and although I'm glad they dropped the near-blasphemous "by Schulz" title (because irregardless that's kind of messed up seeing how long he's been deceased), I'm not 100% on the new title. "Peanuts" IMO would be fine. But it's really a pointless nitpick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) The original Peabody wasn't "wacky" in the way the trailers for the movie looked to me. It seems like the people who adapt the Jay Ward stuff mistakenly assume that the Jay Ward humor was wacky for wacky's sake. It's like how fairy-tale parodies like Shrek try to crib off Fractured Fairy Tales, but often replace the witty satire of Ward's stuff with mean-spirited contempt. But I digress. None of that has to do with Peanuts. Edited March 19, 2015 by TServo2049 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatree Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I don't get why some people are predicting 200M, 250M or whatever for this movie. It is relying on nostalgia, but its main demographic has never heard of Peanuts. And the animation is unimaginative, not the style that really appeals to kids above the age of 8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's the first major kids movie since September 25th. Goosebumps has two weeks to be relevant and it will be close to a PG-13 IMO. I'm pretty confident this will be G-rated, since Rio 1-2 and Horton were all by the same studio. They got a G, so Peanuts should as well. I'm thinking $150-175 million. Nostalgia will push this through the holiday season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are talking about the same young people who play Minecraft. Animation style is not relevant if the movie is entertaining. I frankly don't know how a person gets through life without knowing about Snoopy to be honest. He shows up in commercials, toys, greeting cards, blimps....and they still show the holiday specials every year in the US. They didn't skip any generations on that. Story is actually my worry. I'm a fan of the original animation...but this updated animation won't bother me a bit if the movie is good. I'm most worried that this isn't written by Schultz. The trailer I saw resorted to Homer Simpson type of humor (Charlie Brown stupidly bumbles into the theater so Lucy can call him a blockhead). I hope the writing is better than that. I don't think 200m is very likely...more like 150m. Edited March 28, 2015 by Harpospoke 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murgatroyd Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It is relying on nostalgia, but its main demographic has never heard of Peanuts. I wouldn't be too sure of that. Peanuts still holds a very prominent place in my local paper's Sunday comics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The animation looks beautiful, and this is a very well known property to all ages. Peanuts specials air on network TV around the holidays every year, and the iconic "Charlie Brown tree" is a popular Xmas decor item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
