I was prepared to be annoyed by the 3D-style animation, but I thought it worked surprisingly well. CB's and Linus' hair was kind of weird, but a small price to pay, I guess. Overall it seemed very faithful to the classic specials... good voice-work, scene-making and energy.

Hopefully the movie doesn't get too over the top and non-Peanuty, which seems to be a problem revisiting classics for modern audiences.

Never saw it but I was always really impressed by the art style of the 3D. It looked very true to what the peanuts should look like.

Yeah, my comments were hedged in the OP, but I went on to watch like four more clips. It really does seem like a little gem.

Hollywood almost always finds a way to screw these things up. It seems they didn't in this case!
