Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the rest of the 'Peanuts' gang are back in a new show

A trailer for “The Snoopy Show,” an Apple TV+ series, debuted on Jan. 25 and includes everyone’s favorite animated beagle em-“bark”-ing on all sorts of adventures. Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Franklin, Schroeder, Peppermint Patty, and, of course, Snoopy’s best bird companion, Woodstock, are all featured prominently.

The movie also hints how Charlie Brown and Snoopy may have met, providing some backstory about their connection before showing scenes of the pup climbing mountains, dressing up as a pilot, and evading Frisbees, among other things. In a statement, Apple TV+ said, “‘The Snoopy Show’ is a new animated series for kids and families that stars the internationally beloved beagle and his feathery best friend Woodstock as they go on all-new adventures.” “Snoopy may appear to be nothing more than a happy-dancing, bone-loving, doghouse-sitting pup, but he’s so much more. Joe Cool is the coolest kid in school.

Masked Marvel is the king of the waves and a well-known arm wrestler. He is a World War I ace pilot who fights the Red Baron. In this brand-new animated comedy, all of his strong, beloved characters are on full display.” On the third hour of TODAY Friday, the wife of late “Peanuts” creator Charles Schulz discussed the new show and the popular comic strip series. “They’ll have concerts for Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day,” Schulz added, “but I’m sure there’ll be the same Snoopy fighting with the cat, going off and dreaming his way into the stratosphere, that those will all be part of the presentations they’re creating because that’s what people want to see.” Over the span of five decades, cartoonist Charles “Sparky” Schulz drew an estimated 18,000 comic strips, and his “Peanuts” crew has now been immortalized in TV shows, movies, theme parks, and a museum in California.

“Don’t forget the drawing,’ Sparky always said,’ and the nuance of Sparky’s art that you can’t ignore when you try to translate it, and it’s the same with all the characters,” his wife told Al. Despite the fact that the “Peanuts” series is more than 50 years old, Schulz is certain that the iconic characters will continue to resonate with modern audiences. “The humor, subtlety, trickery, jokes, pantomime, and everything else can be kept the same because it’s ageless, but you don’t want to have them cater to cell phones and Zoom meetings and all of that. You want to keep them in the Sparky-created world.”
