At least lets do one right.
The Peanuts Movie is a Schulz family affair.
Like Disney and Henson, the Schulz name is woven into the fabric of US popular culture.
Simply put, the Peanuts characters are loved with the kind of warmth and affection that money cant buy.
Which, as you’re free to imagine, has led to countless attempts to do just that.
Nice is one word.
[Laughs] No!
They dont want to.
So I think that has hope for staving off the big, corporate things for a long time.
Jeannie Schulz is particularly keen to avoid the fragmentation and conflict seen elsewhere.
This is what our part-ownership of the copyright helps with, the creative control.
Back in 2005, Craig Schulz began work on a new Peanuts TV special.
The fans in particular, are especially demanding.
Peanuts fans aresoobservant, explained Craig.
Theyre fanatical, is all I can say!
You cant change anything in the Peanuts universe without somebody noticing!
The Schulz family showed a similar level of scrutiny when it came to the movie script.
Jeannie Schulz found herself in agreement.
Ive already had agents and Fox talking to me about the sequel, confirmed Craig.
Does Craig see a sequel toThe Peanuts Movieas the logical next step?
And so the search began for a studio to collaborate with on the picture.
How Blue Sky (Ice Age, Epic, Rio, Horton Hears A Who!)
convinced the Schulz family that they were the ones to make the Peanuts movie is another story…
