The Christmas-y theme only serves to highlight how different this looks from the familiar animation of the beloved TV specials. Plus, “dream big” sounds a little more Hollywood and a lot less melancholy than the original strips. But, as this USA Today sneak peek points out, Charles Schultz’s son Craig is writing and co-producing, and Bridesmaids‘ Paul Feig is riding herd on the project, so there’s plenty of reasons to hope this won’t turn into a total Smurf job.
