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.

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.

Rated: 3.5/4

Lou Lumenick

New York Post

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."

Rated: 2/4

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...

Rated: 10/10

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.

Keith & the Movies

“The Peanuts Movie” clings to an almost-forgotten vision of childhood. It’s sad to think of that way, but you can’t help but wonder. For that reason alone the Peanuts are a precious commodity to be cherished.

Rated: 4/5

This movie is a WINNER, like Charlie Brown has become. I have to go on about the animation. Blue Sky Studios got ahead of the time with this animation style, similar to DreamWorks adaptations of Dav Pilkeys work which came after this - but these will not compare to this which attempted to keep the most 2D effect & charmingly fragile animation, to add more is the animation tableau, those comic effects. There are also all the characters we know & love, they can be funny, likeable, empathetic & relatable, especially Charlie Brown. The ending was so lovely especially when the little red haired girl loves Charlie Brown for he generally is, he is not flanderized, everybody loves him. It was even sweet that Snoopy himself had a love story of his own, where he fantasised being a WW1 flying ace & having the love of his life whose story was equivalent of Charlie Brown's story. CURSE YOU RED BARON, not just for Snoopy but Charlie Brown when the Red Baron destroyed his book report on the red haired girl. Anybody can feel the humour, nostalgia & empathy for this. Everybody loves the Peanuts Movie & it would be terrifying if you came across somebody who didn't like it.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Yo jamás odiaría una película que cumpla todas las virtudes que uno espera: La animación es bonita. Hay momentos conmovedores como el final o el examen destruido. Los personajes son únicos. y el entretenimiento está asegurado.
