It really didn&#8217;t give much more clue to the timing, the way it will play across space, and so forth. I will note two good things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They used the Vince Guaraldi music for the clip. That doesn&#8217;t inherently mean that it will get used in the film itself, but it certainly suggest the possibility. There&#8217;s nothing wrong with the non-Guaraldi music used on\u00a0<em>Happiness is a Warm Blanket<\/em>, but the Guaraldi music is not just very good stuff, it also has an emotional bond at this point.<\/li>\n<li>That they&#8217;re publicizing it at all at this point. The film is still over a year and a half away. Doing a push now suggests that they think they&#8217;ve got something that will be big, not just a quick release to play off of whatever passion people have for Peanuts (although the popularity of Peanuts is likely why they can get even that small slice of airtime now; if the studio came to them with &#8220;hey, here&#8217;s a clip of a movie you&#8217;ve never heard of with no stars that won&#8217;t be in theaters for a year and a half&#8221;, I doubt this would have happened.) An early November release suggests they don&#8217;t think they could directly win the box office for the 4-day Thanksgiving weekend (they would be up against a new Disney release, <em>The Good Dinosaur<\/em>) but they could get a few weeks of play before that and still be making some good money then. At this point, it looks like the movie will release the same weekend as a new James Bond film, with nothing big yet announced for the following weekend. (I&#8217;m going by the release schedule at <a href=\"http:\/\/boxofficemojo.com\/schedule\/?view=bydate&amp;release=all&amp;date=2015-11-05&amp;showweeks=4.1428571428571&amp;p=.htm\">Box Office Mojo<\/a>.) All in all, a good release date for a family movie (says this I&#8217;m-not-in-the-movie-biz guy, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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 &#8220;yeah, it looks like those still images&#8221;.
