The Peanuts movie

While I respect your opinion as I see whee you're coming from, I'd disagree completely on the ground that you're ironically, taking this picture too much at face value. I'd say the same heart and buzz of the characters is still there and celebrated, just in a different art style. I say it takes understanding the direction of that art style to see how the characters are still reflected in it beyond seeing that everyone looks to you as "cute". Using that same mindset, others could argue with the same validity that the characters and personalities of the characters aren't apparent at all in their original art styles, rather that everyone just looks the same and that one would have to rely on the voices and performances themselves to even get a clue.

What I believe can be said about this art style is that while the original spirit is still maintained, one or two specific aspects of the overall character's vibe spearheads their depiction in this piece. For example, Lucy's pompous and shrewd sensibility thinly veiling the fact that she doesn't know as much as she thinks she does. Snoopy's overdramatic and deeper than deep sense of his own existence and influence. Patty's overwhelming confidence, reliability and can-do attitude. Marcy's trepidous and bewildered and yet observant gait.

Beyond that is all celebration that this is an event. You can almost hear "Charlie! Charlie! Charlie!" Like the kids in the movie as you feel a sense of nostalgia and pride knowing that a show you loved and watched when you were a kid is now coming back in a beautifully animated feature film on the big screen.

Gashi has anime appreciation and influences. Sally's his little sister so he threw that comedic trope in there, which as usual fits his underling zany, silly and poppy style. That's part of the reason why people look for his next work so much. I myself find myself coming back to this one a lot. It really feels like it could be an official poster for a world-wide red carpet event. I feel so much energy, pomp and circumstance coming from it. This picture actually really got me excited to go see Peanuts back when it came out.

I agree

Yes dude
