With all of the major creative participants of the Peanuts movies and TV shows having passed away, and no new comic strips to ever come, it rests more than ever on the next generation to guide where Charlie Brown’s story goes next. For 2015’s The Peanuts Movie, Schulz’s son and and grandson wrote the screenplay and it is a truthful work. It captures the essence of the characters (Charlie the doubter, Snoopy the daydreamer, Lucy the crank, Schroder the artist, and so on), reveals how each of Schulz’s little creations speak to a big part of us.
