Rendering the Red Baron-fighting Snoopy and way too many supporting characters in 3-D, and placing them in near-photo-realistic backgrounds, drains much of the charm from "The Peanuts Movie."
Overview
Snoopy embarks upon his greatest mission as he and his team take to the skies to pursue their arch-nemesis, while his best pal Charlie Brown begins his own epic quest.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
In the figurative sense, though, the characters' sharp edges have been filed down.
Somehow, this Peanuts feels familiar, even cozy. I can't make any great claims for it, but it feels like the return of an old friend.
Without suffering, Peanuts becomes little more than wholesome distraction for kiddies.
A terrific big-screen version that should satisfy Peanuts fans and generate new ones.
