The Peanuts is a very unique, one and only work I've ever known as a cartoon series. It's a quite strange universe only made by small children with a beagle and a small yellow bird, and yet it seems like a perfect reflection of real human world. After all we are all just playing baseball or ice hockey, playing a trick, having a secret crush on somebody, getting into mischief, baking holiday sweets, doing homework, listening to friend whining about something you are not interested in at all, being shocked by a news and being relieved to know that something much bigger has happened. Our everyday life as grown-ups is a bit more complicated and digitalized, but essentially it's the same in the way life goes on with a cycle of small, trivial, ordinary but sometimes surprising things happening around us. If we could still remember what the life was like when we were little children, we might find we almost knew every basics of the life.
Peanuts movie is a great work that succeeded to reproduce the classics into a warm and lively 3D animation, without losing any charm of the original world of Peanuts. Especially I like the most is the Snoopy who usually is a realist when he communicates with his shy owner Charlie Brown, and also a strong believer of fantasy. The skill of imagination is what we might need to bring from our childhood world into our grown-up life of more serious and tiresome but filled with opportunity and real adventure.
