Going on a mission in the skies, in order to chase their enemies, Snoopy and the gang prepare for the great mission, while Charlie Brown, who is socially awkward, makes his mind to return, in order to win the heart of a red hair girl, with whom he falls deeply in love, the thing that makes him struggle.
Sure, it's less contemplative and less melancholy than the old strips, but there's more than enough nostalgia here to keep Peanuts nuts happy as well as younger viewers.
The little red-haired girl explains, that in the trying, she recognized Charlie Brown did kind, compassionate, truthful, and tolerant things. This is pure gold for children.
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."
