If you’ve got iTunes set up, this link<\/a> should take you to the free sample of the new Peanuts cartoon, including two episodes of the 20 they’re making this season. They run about three and a half minutes each, plus credits. In this case, the two episodes really cover one storyline – they’ve adapted the Linus-runs-for-school-president story. Which means that they’ve got something very timely, but on the toher hand they’re basically covering the same ground as You’re Not Elected, Charlie Brown<\/strong><\/a>, which aired on U.S. TV just last week.<\/p>\n

The animation is a little stiff in a different way than the classical Peanuts animation is a little stiff; the use of\u00a0 Flash software to make it gives movements that area little too smooth without being quite right. But that’s a nitpick – particularly if you’re watching this thing on a cell phone, which is what they had in mind.<\/p>\n

Pricewise, the deal is reasonable. If all the episodes are about this length, that means than a $7.99 subscription gets you about 70 minutes of animation, which is roughly as long as three TV specials.<\/p>\n

A couple of you told me about yesterday’s NPR interview with Craig Schulz about these new cartoons; you
\ncan listen to it online here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There’s still time to vote.<\/p>\n

And there’s always time for more donuts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
