A Boy Named Charlie Brown

The first of four Peanuts theatrical features, A Boy Named Charlie Brown is also the one truest to the original comic strip. Adapted directly from some of creator Charles M. Schulz’s comics, it encapsulates the best of Peanuts while avoiding the commercial excesses that dragged it down in its later years. Everything that makes Peanuts such a perennial favorite is here: precocious kids with adult neuroses, wonderful snippets of wit and wisdom, and a charmingly simple art style.
