An alert reader let me know that the cable TV network Boomerang is now advertising the date that they will start showing the new Peanuts shorts that were made in France. It’ll be May 9. These shorts are adaptations right from the strip, and there will be a lot of …

I picked up today something that I wasn’t sure would ever exist. The Peanuts 4-Movie Collection gathers all four of the classically animated Peanuts theatrical films into one handy, cheap set (just under $20 at the moment). The reason that this seemed unlikely is that the four films are owned by two …

For some reason, Amazon doesn’t have the cover for this fall’s new book edition of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, but they do have this low-resolution shot of an interior spread…. one which I think makes particularly good use of the two-page layout.

I was catching up on Jeannie Schulz’s blog, and I came on this entry, where she’s chronicling the Schulz Museum’s updated display of Peanuts books from around the world. I’ve not seen the new display yet, but in Jeannie’s photo, I see the book pictured here. There’s a shot of …

Now available from third-party sellers on Amazon is this Spanish jigsaw puzzle book of images from The Peanuts Movie. The title, Carlitos y Snoopy, la película. Mi libro puzle, reflects the Charlie Brown & Snoopy title that the film has in many places.

Yes, box office receipts is kind of a stinky way to talk about movies… but I’m a math person at heart and by training, and when I see numbers, I cannot help but to process them. So I think about The Peanuts Movie and the $129 million in domestic ticket sales …

I just got a chance to watch Peanuts: The Global Phenomenon, which is being run on television in various international markets (it has apparently already been run in New Zealand.)
