The Peanuts Movie: True To The Art Featurette Released

20th Century Fox has released a new "True To The Art" featurette for the upcoming Peanuts movie and it reveals that it took animators 2 years to perfect a 3D version of Charlie Brown!
"So important in bringing these characters to the screen, is that there is a handmade quality," says director Steve Martino. "There's a way that Charles Schulz drew these characters. They weren't perfect! And out of that, he creates so much emotion." Lead Animator Jeff Gabor added, "The real challenge of making the 2D characters three-dimensional is that they were never meant to be. From front-view to side-view, their mass and proportions change drastically."
Check out the featurette in the video below.
Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus and the rest of the beloved "Peanuts" gang make their big-screen debut, like they've never been seen before, in state of the art 3D animation. Snoopy, the world's most lovable beagle – and flying ace – embarks upon his greatest mission as he takes to the skies to pursue his arch-nemesis The Red Baron, while his best pal, Charlie Brown, begins his own epic quest. From the imagination of Charles M. Schulz and the creators of the ICE AGE films, THE PEANUTS MOVIE will prove that every underdog has his day.
Peanuts is due in theaters on November 6.
