I have been looking forward to Snoopy And Charlie Brown - The Peanuts Movie ever since it was announced that it would be coming to the big screen... now it has been announced that the film will be released Monday 21st December 2015.
Snoopy And Charlie Brown - The Peanuts Movie
Releasing Snoopy And Charlie Brown - The Peanuts Movie in 2015 is perfect timing as this year not only marks the 65th anniversary of the first Peanuts comic strip but also the 50 anniversary of the television special A Charlie Brown Christmas.
I don't know about you, but I was a huge fan of the television show when I was growing up and I cannot wait to see these great and enduring characters make the leap onto the big screen for the first time.
We have already been treated to some great animation movies so far this year, but Snoopy And Charlie Brown - The Peanuts Movie is one of the most anticipated. It is already being tipped as a potential Best Animated Feature Oscar contender - but it is a little early to be talking about that.
The movie sees Steve Martino return to the director's chair for the film and he is no stranger to the animation genre with the likes of Ice Age: Continental Drift and Horton Hears a Who! already under his belt.
A child voice cast has been assembled as Noah Schnapp, Hadley Belle Miller, AJ Tecce, Noah Johnston, Venus Schultheis, Alexander Garfin, Francesca Capaldi, Mariel Sheets, and Rebecca Bloom bring the characters of Charlie Brown, Lucy, Pig Pen, Schroeder, Peppermint Patty, Linus, Little Red-Haired Girl, Sally, and Marcie to life.
Snoopy, the world's most lovable beagle - and flying ace - embarks upon his greatest mission as he takes to the skies to pursue his arch-nemesis The Red Baron, while his best pal, Charlie Brown, begins his own epic quest.
I cannot wait to see the creation of Charles Schulz make it to the big screen as Peanuts is the most popular and influential comic strip of all time and has been entertaining us for generations.
Snoopy And Charlie Brown - The Peanuts Movie is released in UK and Ireland cinemas on 21st December.
