The Peanuts Movie is a 2015 American animated comedy film based on Charles M. Schulz's comic strip Peanuts. Directed by Steve Martino from a screenplay by Cornelius Uliano and Craig and Bryan Schulz (Schulz's son and grandson, respectively), the film stars the voices of Noah Schnapp as Charlie Brown and, via archival recordings, Bill Melendez as Snoopy and Woodstock. It was produced by 20th Century Fox Animation and Blue Sky Studios, and distributed by 20th Century Fox. The film sees Charlie navigating the trials of his everyday school life as he tries to improve his odds with his love interest, the Little Red-Haired Girl, while Snoopy writes a book portraying a daring, heroic quest in which he is a World War I Flying Ace trying to save his fellow pilot and love interest, Fifi, from the Red Baron and his flying circus. It was the fifth full-length Peanuts film and the first in 35 years, following Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (and Don't Come Back!!).

Plot

Charlie Brown, a clumsy and socially awkward young boy, is often looked down on by his peers, especially Lucy Van Pelt, who views him as a failure; his only means of emotional support are his anthropomorphic dog, Snoopy and Lucy's younger brother, Linus. One day, Charlie Brown is smitten with a new red-haired girl in his class (whom he nicknames the "Little Red-Haired Girl"). Viewing this as an opportunity for a fresh start, Charlie Brown decides to change himself in order to get the Little Red-Haired Girl to notice him. On that same day, Linus brings in a red model plane for show and tell. Charlie Brown tries to test it out, but when he touches the propeller, the plane flies everywhere, causing havoc.
