Peanuts began as a comic book strip in a weekly newspaper in 1950, fifteen years later, it graduated to the TV and the American tradition, A Charlie Brown Christmas was born. Every holiday, millions sat around a grainy television set to watch Lucy move that football.
The studio responsible for the Peanuts reboot is the Canadian entertainment company, Wildbrain. They specialize in zany kids’ comedies like Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and Supernoobs. They also have a long history of working with the franchise so hopefully can stay true to the American staple. It’ll be interesting to see what they make of Charlie Brown!
