Peanuts movie coverage in USA Today
USAToday today has an article on next year’s Peanuts movie, including a number of images – very smily images, but these are publicity shots.
Think of the Future, Charlie Brown
The third unit of the Intermediate Series of the Charlie Brown’s Career Education Program filmstrips is Think of the Future, Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown and his friends discuss how many of the things in the world today weren’t around 100 years ago, listing various things (although Charlie Brown, in trying to list …
Peanuts the Movie the Comic Book
Coming next August is Peanuts Movie OGN. Now, for those of you not used to the terminology of the comics business, OGN is short for Original Graphic Novel, a thick comic book that is not just a collection of thinner comic book. So this is a comic book based on a movie based …
those 500 new Peanuts shorts
The 500 new short Peanuts animations being created by Normaal in France have been getting some attention of late. There are at least a couple of examples out there, floating around in the wild; I’m not going to link to them here because they appear to be unauthorized. But this …
What filmstrips there are

Scanimation strikes

Why did I buy this?
The latest addition to the AAUGH.com Reference Library is Toothbrushing with Charlie Brown. This is a less common piece of Peanuts animation, one of two short films that were created for the American Dental Association. So now I own a copy. I don’t have a film projector, though, so what they …
Peanuts teaser reaction
Having now watched the few brief seconds of footage that aired on Good Morning America (at 8:36 here on the west coast feed, for those who may be looking for it in a recording), about the most I have to say is “yeah, it looks like those still images”. It …
