Critics Consensus

The Peanuts Movie offers a colorful gateway into the world of its classic characters and a sweetly nostalgic -- if relatively unambitious -- treat for the adults who grew up with them.

3.5/4

To paraphrase a speech made once upon a time in a pumpkin patch, there's no hypocrisy to be found in any of this, just sincerity, pretty much as far as the eye can see.

2/4

Rendering the Red Baron-fighting Snoopy and way too many supporting characters in 3-D, and placing them in near-photo-realistic backgrounds, drains much of the charm from "The Peanuts Movie."

The animation incorporates contemporary techniques but maintains the classic aesthetic: soft colors, lines reminiscent of comics, and a movement logic that preserves the rhythm of the original drawings. [Full review in Spanish]

This animation led by his eldest son Craig and his grandson Bryan, tells a new adventure that in a way brings together several of the stories that we have seen before, but in an updated way.The main essence of its original is maintained: human values...

The Peanuts Movie celebrates well-known character quirks, but it completely trashes the spirit of the strip. An unavoidable necessity? I’m forced to conclude this is perhaps the case, but it’s still infuriating.

As a lifelong Peanuts fan, I was blown away by how much heart this movie has. It stays perfectly true to the spirit of the original comic strips while introducing a gorgeous new animation style. It’s a touching, nostalgic masterpiece that reminded me exactly why I fell in love with Charlie Brown and the gang in the first place. A must-watch for fans of all ages! I went into this with high expectations, and I was truly touched. The creators clearly respected the source material—everything from the "wah-wah" adult voices to the classic Vince Guaraldi themes was spot on. It captures Charlie Brown’s quiet resilience in a way that feels authentic and modern without losing its soul. I was amazed by how emotional the journey was. Good grief, it’s perfect! This is exactly how a reboot should be done. The 3D animation manages to look just like the hand-drawn art we grew up with, and the story is pure Peanuts. As a die-hard fan, seeing Snoopy and Charlie Brown on the big screen like this was a dream come true. It’s sweet, funny, and deeply moving.
