Snoopy el astronauta

Children will learn, with the Peanuts gang, all about NASA and Space Exploration. I give this educational series a 7 (good) out of 10. {Animated Children's Adventure}

In case you didn't know, the iconic Peanuts franchise was bought out by DHX Media (now known as WildBrain) in 2017. I was skeptical of this at first since WildBrain has a reputation for ruining franchises (I meant, just look at what they did to Mega Man and Teletubbies), but they managed to keep the integrity of the Peanuts series with this little show.

This show involves Snoopy, who wants to become a NASA astronaut. After sneaking into NASA and undergoing training, he becomes a full-fledged astronaut, and each episode documents his missions, like tending to a garden, or rescuing his pal Woodstock. It may be serialized, but it's not mature and edgy, and manages to keep the same wholesome, comedic feel that Peanuts is best known for.

The animation and backgrounds are gorgeous, and the piano jazz soundtrack is reminiscent of Vince Guaraldi's music. Longtime Peanuts fan will enjoy the series, but students can get a lot out of it too since it teaches a lot about space - like what astronauts eat, the training process, all that fun stuff.

I do wish we got to see more of the kids, since their characterizations are top notch - with Marcie and Franklin being the nerds, Lucy being the bossy one, Peppermint Patty being the lazy dumb one, and Charlie Brown being the group's moral compass. Linus and Sally don't do much, though.

I definitely recommend this show to Peanuts fans worldwide, as well as animation fans in general who just want a relaxing, educational show to watch.

This was the first show I watched on this service. Tonight, I watched three and a half shows. I couldn't stand to finish the last. So far, Snoopy was the best.

It was just simple fun.

When you see Snoopys face, you can see what he is feeling and thinking of. It was great.

The episodes are 8 some minutes long. It was the perfect amount of time needed.

The only thing that took away from it some, was when the characters started talking. This show seems to be one that could succeed just by the actions of the characters.

On top of that, I've been watching Peanuts for like twenty years. The voices seemed off.

But, I am super excited to watch more of this show.

This is a great blast from the past. The creators have stayed true to the original cartoon. Snoopy is so funny! I love it! SOOOOO cute!

Snoopy in Space is wonderfully true to the original heart and style of the Peanuts characters I grew up with. Nostalgia - hell yes - but the original had so much pathos and insight that rose coloured glasses are not required.

The voices are perfect, the execution just right. It felt as though the ghost of Charles M. Schulz was standing behind the animators watching over their efforts.

May Snoopy and the gang live forever, and to Apple, thank you.
