I don’t really care. I love the Peanuts gang and if Mr. Peabody’s Improbable History is getting adapted to a CGI movie named Mr. Peabody and Sherman, and I liked the trailer (I did) then I have no problem. 🙂

They’ll probably just resemble the plastic toys. I just wonder how they’re going to get kids to sound right. The old Peanuts kids were so authentic.

In reply to Milan Harrison. It's probably going to be super-detailed CG.

In reply to Esther Rosenfeld. So why make any movie, besides money?

I’m a big fan of Peanuts and I am really looking forward to this movie. I think the characters will look fine in CGI, after all, If you walk into any Hallmark all the characters are there in a figurine of plush form, and they look great. I just hope that all the lines in the story will taken directly from the strip, like the all the Peanuts TV special after Schulz’s death.

In reply to Gary Wright. I just realized that maybe they're doing it CGI because there's an entire generation of kids raised on it (compared to some of us who grew up on 2D films) and for them CGI is the norm. The only way you'll get new fans in the seats is by giving them what they expect. And yes, you want tots in those seats as much as old school to make big bucks.

In reply to Esther Rosenfeld. I'm a big fan of Bone! I think it would make a really great CGI film. Last I heard, Warner Bros. was working on a Bone trilogy, first of which was to be released in 2013, but apparently it's been delayed. You can be sure we'll have it covered as soon as news breaks!

Definitely a big risk taker since the Peanuts gang have entertained generations with a “kids around the block” audience and “happiness is a warm puppy” philosophy. Turning it into a slick CGI film could be a train wreck. On the other hand, the motion-cap/GCI of “Tintin” did justice to Herge’s work just fine. So I hope Blue Sky Studios tries to keep Schultz’s original atmosphere in the film.

Any word on Jeff Smith’s “Bone” comic being done as a GCI film?

Eww… I feel like the CGI will ruin the vintage sort of aura that charlie brown gives off.
