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.
