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. Unfortunately, their little teaser video doesn’t seem to have ended up online, so I cannot tell you how their 3-D image of Charlie Brown looked… but I am not among the group that says that it cannot look good. Animated Peanuts always has been and will always have to be different in look from the strip by at least some, because the characters really weren’t design for animation. I have hopes that this will be a good film; the only thing that worries me at this point is that, according to this pageĀ  at the Hollywood Reporter, the title is The Peanuts. I hope (and expect) that’s wrong.
