Usually, the poster for a new film arrives before the trailer, but in Charlie Brown’s world, nothing quite goes to plan. So with the latest Peanuts Movie promo already out there (and sitting at the bottom of the page for your visual enjoyment), here’s the new one-sheet image, timed to celebrate the birthday of Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz.
Few concrete plot details are about for this one, save that it will, as seems traditional, feature poor ol’ Charlie Brown trying desperately to find something he thinks he needs, only to discover that he’s wrong. And, of course, there will also be a chance to see his loyal hound Snoopy take a flight of fantasy, flitting around Europe in a clash with his old bête noire, The Red Baron.
We’re promised that despite a CG upgrade, the spirit and feeling of the classic Peanuts cartoons we’ve come to know and love, and which are still shown, particularly in the States, as holiday stalwarts. {Peanuts Stills}
The Peanuts Movie will be out here on December 21, 2015, and currently bears the slightly unwieldy title Snoopy And Charlie Brown: The Peanuts Movie.
