I highly recommend the Peanuts movie for little kids (ages 2-4 for sure, have no experience beyond that).

Lots of things moving, stuff keeps happening, and it all looks good (nice visuals). Plot? I'm not really sure... I mean, Charlie Brown was all after the little red haired girl and all that; but it was the side story of Snoopy vs. the Red Baron that stole the show for me.

I'm not going to spoil the whole thing; but it suffices to say dogfighting ensues.

Some of the scenes are great, especially in the theater... the kind where you almost go "woah" and feel things move.

Here's my gripe... they say a 182 with 4 notches of flaps glides like a safe. They say an Arrow with the gear down and flaps out glides like a safe. What does a doghouse glide like? I mean, seriously, it has no wings, it's not that aerodynamic, moving sideways like that... it lacks visible means of propulsion, and I have no idea if the gear is up or down. Is it a tailwheel? Zero clue.

Seriously, it was worth seeing with young kids. I think it was almost better at making kids want to fly than the movie Planes. Also, no tear-jerking going on here, just fun.
 
Yea, I liked it, I was surprised they put so much of that in.

Never expected to hear the word aerodrome. :)

who know... but the doghouse makes for a great little fighter aircraft. :)
 
I think Snoopy being a Joe Cool type of pilot would have a much better shot at the little red haired girl then Charlie Brown ever would. :lol:
 
If you read the original comic strips, it's not a doghouse but rather a Sopwith Camel. Aerodynamics in a glide are probably similar, though :)
 
Sounds like a movie worth watching. Does anyone have some kids I can borrow to see the movie..??? :lol::lol::lol:
 
Our kids weren't interested in seeing it. When my wife and I went to see it there were lots of other adult couples with no kids.

(I actually expected a lot of kid-noise but there wasn't any.)
 
I loved the Peanuts strip and have this $$$ Snoopy lithograph on the wall:

I was so hoping for a good movie.

I thought it was poor. My wife thought it was worse. Our 4 YO wasn't interested at all, and he's usually riveted to any TV or movie he gets to watch.

I gave it a 3/10. Very disappointed.
 
I fought really hard to stay awake. Slept through the 2nd half.
