Because animated movies take a looooong time to work on... animation isn't something that you can just do overnight, it takes a lot of time, and a lot of patience... in fact, 2015... that actually sounds about average for an animated movie, it usually takes about a couple of years or so... sometimes even longer, I think someone at Pixar once said they usually spend up to four years working on their movies.

Plus, it's to coincide with the anniversary of the strip (65th I think).

The Schulz estate really should push for a 2-D animated film.

^THIS. They should just keep them in 2D, their designs would work better that way...And we need more traditional movies! :I

 

[D'Snowth]

The unfortunate truth is nobody is going to animate anything 2D anymore: they push for CGI because it's "quicker", "easier", more "economical", among other things... people are always going to cut corners in any way possible, they'll always take the cheaper and easier route... of course, the quality suffers in the process sometimes, but they don't care, because they're saving time and money.

There's a very good chance this will be a CGI film, trouble is, there's no way these characters would look good in CGI. Ever see Snoopy toys? They have those weird flat eyes because he looks strange in turn around...

And when we usually see Snoopy, he's in some weird 3/4ths view with both his eyes on one side of his head.

That's not going to work in a 3-D based animation.

The Scooby -Doo movie suffered the Brady bunch effect. They were spending 90 minutes to make jokes about the original cartoon. I don't think this will be the case at all. The Schulz estate has very big veto power, and I'd imagine whoever writes this will be under heavy scrutiny to keep the characters' integrity. And if somehow the writer doesn't, we'll see the Schulz estate ban any other movies from ever happening.

I hope so!

There's nothing to make fun of about Peanuts... other than the fact a bunch of 6-9 year olds have such an evolved sense of philosophy, psychology, and existentialism. And religion in Linus's case. And the fact that everyone but Snoopy is neurotic as heck.

Happy that they are still being thought of.

Agreed, but remakes just rarely manage to capture the spirit for me. At that point it's a totally different franchise now surviving, not the original. The original is still being forgotten.

The peanuts are going to have their own movie? That's great!
