I...honestly just wondered how this got made. i think the people who liked it as a child are no longer the core audience, but younger audiences might no longer be drawn to it?

Same. Did some movie executive wake up one day and go "My life is incomplete without a new Peanuts movie with creepy animation!"?

Maybe they were hoping adults would see it for nostalgia?

And to cover all their demographic bases, someone suggested: "3d-ish looking animation! That will draw in the children. Win/win!"

And all the other execs stood up and clapped and then decided the next meeting for marketing and toys.

I guess, but with this look it doesn't seem aimed at them.

Same :/ even just the commercials were painful to watch. The story itself might be good, I don't know, but that ANIMATION. wtf

My father in law (late 50s) is super into it, so I guess that age group might be excited?

Charlie Brown in the very least is played every single year on holidays in America. Most people here are at least familiar with it.

Even outside of that, kids will watch old cartoons if they have access to them. My nieces and nephews watched Alvin and the Chipmunks, and not just the 3d movies but the movies that were out when I was a kid.

And drawing parents in by using a property the parents are familiar with is not a bad plan to get kids to watch something in any case.

I don't think of Peanuts as primarily a kid's comic, even though I loved it as a kid.

I hate that kind of animation too.

They look like blown-up balloons. Ewww. If I watched it, I'd just be waiting for Charlie Brown to fall into a bed of thistles or accidentally stab himself with a pin and pop.

I don't like it either. I appreciate that they kept the faces 2d but I don't know why we can't just do films entirely in 2d anymore. Charlie Brown looks so much better in 2d.

I feel like they wanted it to look like stop-motion (that's the way it moves to me at least) but were too cheap to spend the money or time and effort needed for actual stop-motion puppets.

I don't know if too cheap is the word as cg is pretty expensive, I'd say more that they didn't have the resources since there are only a few stop motion studios around.

There's also just this attitude that only 3d movies will sell so that's practically all the big studios will do anymore.

Hmm. Still need to see this.

I think the animation is cute, btw.

I like the animation too. Although that's not saying much because I seem to like all styles of animation. I just like to see all the different things that can be done with it.

Did anyone else just hate the Charlie Brown franchise

YES.

If you want to see creepy, look up the Charlie Brown costumes the Today Show cast wore on Halloween. They actually tried to imitate the shapes from the animation and it was terrifying.

Oh God. That was AWFUL. I cannot unsee that. I DESPISE the Today Show (no legit or principled reason, I just hate that kind of fake, let's get excited over stupid shit show in the morning when all I want is the NEWS (the only reason I regret duming Time Warner is because I floved NY1)) and watching them shit all over those characters I loved as a child cemented that.

Charlie Brown's head looks like a boob without the nipple (nose) colored in. I noticed it when I first saw a commercial and I can't unsee it.

Thank you for that image and ruining my childhood.

I didn't find the animation weird, but to each their own.
