THE PEANUTS MOVIE MADE ME CRY

The Peanuts Movie
was great! I was a little worried about how those essentially flat characters
would translate to CGI, but treating them as bas-relief figures in front of a
deep background worked. Animating all the WWI aircraft realistically except for
Snoopy’s Sopwith Camel which is still a doghouse worked. But what really made me realize how much care had gone into
the movie was when I looked at the headboard of Charlie Brown’s bed and
realized that it, and all other objects onscreen, had the slightly wobbly,
jagged line of Schultz’s drawing style. Even though they were rendered.
