Running Time : 89 mins

When a little red-haired girl (Capaldi) starts at his school, Charlie Brown (Schnapp) is instantly smitten, but panic sets in as he tries to impress her. What makes things worse is he comes top of the class in a test, so when he is paired with her for a book report he has to pull out all the stops to make sure that it matches up with his recent success.

Just like the Peanuts cartoons and comic strips of old, this has an understated charm that works perfectly with the material. The characters are just how you remember, the plot isn’t over the top and could easily have existed in a live-action movie (though that would have been horrible). Fans of Snoopy and Charlie Brown will love this, as it takes all the best elements we remember as kids as recreates them in 3-D form.
