Steve Martino directs this animated family comedy based on the
characters from the 'Peanuts' comic strip. When a new kid moves in
to the house next door, Charlie Brown (voice of Noah Schnapp) sees
it as an opportunity to make a new start with someone who doesn't
yet know about his inability to make friends. Learning that his new
neighbour is in fact a very pretty Little Red-Haired Girl
(Francesca Capaldi), he turns his attention to winning her
affection, not just friendship. With his trusty dog Snoopy (Bill
Melendez) in tow, Charlie Brown sets about wooing the Little
Red-Haired Girl in every unconventional way he knows how.
In The Complete Peanuts 1963-64: this volume is particularly rich
in never-before-reprinted strips: Over 150 (more than one fifth of
the book!) have never seen the light of day since their original
appearance over 40 years ago, so this will be a trove of
undiscovered treasures even for avid Peanuts collectors. These
"lost" strips include Linus making a near-successful run for class
president that is ultimately derailed by his religious beliefs (two
words: "great" and "pumpkin"), and Snoopy getting involved with a
group of politically fanatical birds. One wonders: Was it the
political edge in these stories that got them consigned to oblivion
for so long? Also worthy of note is an extended, never-reprinted
sequence in which Snoopy gets ill and heads to the veterinarian
hospital... Also in this volume: Lucy's attempts at improving her
friends branches out from her increasingly well-visited nickel
psychiatry booth to an educational slideshow of Charlie Brown's
faults (it's so long there's an intermission!). Also, Snoopy's
doghouse begins its conceptual expansion, as Schulz reveals that
the dog owns a Van Gogh, and that the ceiling is so huge that Linus
can paint a vast (and as it turns out unappreciated) "history of
civilisation" mural on it.
