The The is The Wrong Thing

At CinemaCon, Fox already started promoting their 3-D animated Peanuts flick, even though it’s not out for over two and a half years yet.

I have hopes that this will be a good film; the only thing that worries me at this point is that, according to this page  at the Hollywood Reporter, the title is The Peanuts. I hope (and expect) that’s wrong.
