Snoopy to make big screen debut in ‘Snoopy and Charlie Brown: The Peanuts Movie’

Lovable beagle Snoopy, his best pal Charlie Brown, and the rest of the Peanuts Gang will make their big screen debut this January in “Snoopy and Charlie Brown: The Peanuts Movie”.

The legacy of cartoonist Charles M. Schulz will be brought to life in a heroic quest directed by Steve Martino, who was hand-picked by the Schulz family after resisting attempts by multiple studios to secure film rights to “Peanuts”.

“Peanuts” was hailed as one of the greatest comic strips of the 20th century.

The film will see Snoopy and Charlie Brown embark on an adventure as they pursue their arch-nemesis, the Red Baron.
