Snoopy Takes Flight In New ‘The Peanuts Movie’ Trailer

Though the new film gives the old property a 21st century makeover — complete with CG and 3D — it retains the same timeless quality of the source material. Or it tries to, anyway. We’ll see how that turns out when the movie actually premieres. Watch the new The Peanuts Movie trailer after the jump.
Plot details for The Peanut Movie have been kept vague. We do know it’ll follow Charlie Brown “on a quest to get something he’s sure he needs, even though he discovers he’s pretty OK just as he is.” As for the tone, director Steve Martino has talked up Charlie Brown’s enduring optimism. “I wake up every day and it’s like, ‘Today’s the day we’re going to win that game! I’m going to kick that football!’” he said. “As you have more life experience, those things have more meaning.”
Meanwhile, Charlie Brown’s best friend Snoopy is going on his own parallel journey to battle his nemesis Red Baron in World War I Paris. To get those scenes just right, Martino and producer/writer Craig Schulz (son of Charles M.) actually went up in a biplane. “We really get to go into his mind and see what this crazy dog is imagining every day of his life,” said Schulz.
The Peanuts Movie opens November 6, 2015.
