A Movie Review: The Peanuts Movie

The Peanuts Movie. Honestly, what a sweat and simple movie. The over-arching story line is about Charlie Brown and his crush on the Little Red-Haired Girl. The movie doesn't go for updating the Peanuts for a new generation. There are no cell phones. No computers. Phone calls are still made via rotary phones.

The movie also interweaves all the old favorites from the Peanuts catalog. There is the hockey game on the frozen pond. There is Charlie Brown trying to fly a kite. Lucy is still charging 5 cents for her advice -- though I did notice she gave Charlie Brown a free book. And Sally considers her brother a hero even though he finds himself filled with self doubt. And then there is the adorable Snoopy, flying his dog house over Europe.

Yes, this is a movie for children and all adults who are still young at heart.
