New Peanuts animated special DELAYED!

Animated Peanuts

Apple TV+  has changed the release date for Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical from the planned a-week-from-today date to four weeks later, August 15.

You can see the new date in the headline of the press release announcing the release of the show.

But that press release has a release date of May 20 of this year… surely we’re all just misremembering. They wouldn’t go and update a press release without marking it like that, right? We all just somehow hallucinated the date, surely?? But then I look at the URL that this press release is at…

I’ve yet to hear why this late-in-the-game change has been made. But I was planning on downloading it and watching it on my train ride down to the San Diego Comic-Con, and I guess that won’t work now… unless they suddenly delay Comic-Con as well! Seems unlikely, but I’m starting to feel that I can’t trust anything in this world!!!

Officially, it’s a “Super Chubby”

When I reviewed the 2015 book adapting the TV special It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, I had this to say: The book that’s titled It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (adaptation by Kara McMahon, art by Scott Jeralds) takes basically the whole special and simplifies everything. It briefly tells you that Charlie …
