The Peanuts Movie

Movie · 2015

A warm, sweetly nostalgic G-rated film that brings Charlie Brown and Snoopy to life in 3D animation with the same gentle charm of the classic specials. Content is nearly squeaky-clean, with only light slapstick, mild name-calling, and Snoopy's imaginary WWI dogfight sequences providing any reason to pause.

A lovely pick for ages 4 and up, with parental company recommended for sensitive children under 5 during the fantasy flight scenes.

Charlie Brown's kite-flying mishap sets up his pattern of comic failures; he slides across a frozen pond and knocks into other kids, though no one is hurt.

Recurring fantasy sequences show Snoopy as a WWI flying ace battling the Red Baron, with stormy skies, plane crashes, bullets, and aerial dogfights; injuries and blood are never depicted, but the action may feel intense for children under 5.

Cannon fire, crashing planes, and loud engine sounds recur across the fantasy sequences; worth a heads-up for sound-sensitive children.
