I watched the trailer for The Peanuts Movie about a week ago, and in the trailer there was some RAP and/or Hip-Hop.... was this ONLY in the trailer? I'll be honest, if there's any of that crap in the movie, I will not see it.

I actually like Megan Trainor(THANKS, FOOD LION!)! Was the song by her written FOR the movie, or was it one they licensed for the film?

That song sounds like every Target commercial jingle.

Shaun, we get it, you hate this score. Now let it go.

Oh no, I really don't like the score, but I actually hate this song. It's so blandly inoffensive that it could play in any Target commercial, as I suggested, or deep in the background during a movie trivia segment before the previews start at a theater.

It's not a slap in the face or anything, but after reading the comics and watching the specials and movies and whatnot, you see that Schulz's characters were actually talking ABOUT something, things that were sometimes bigger than what kids would ordinarily talk about. The movie's characters were either referencing old specials or just serving as connective "blah-blahs" to get to the next scene. I was pretty let down by the movie as a whole, though I admit that my son and I both cried at the end (it's still nice when positive things happen to good ol' Charlie Brown).

Kev, and Shaun, I estimated that it was a USA thing, but I am not sure why.
I think that there are some grains of truth in there that are common. In any case, box office is meaningless, except for helping good movie makers make more of them, and Blue Sky is probably sitting just fine on this in the long run. Almost $100 million in about two weeks is certainly not bad.
The basic through theme of Peanuts is that you should expect disappointments and some misfortune, and I find that a pretty unusual ideas for kids material. But throughout it Peanuts always managed to wring out some simple pleasures of childhood and life, the look of the sky, a song, kids standing on the bridge together, things embedded at least in my mind, and the classroom with the wooden desks. I find the simplicity of those things, and the unusual melancholy quality of it very satisfying.

I just can't believe that this movie cost $99 million to make. I mean, computers ain't cheap and all, but geesh.
