Snoopy in Space

Really enjoyed this series! Manages to recapture the look and feel of the classic Peanuts specials, while also doing something that feels new and different. The show is great for kids-the episodes are a breezy 8 minutes long, and it injects some neat educational material that manages to stay fun and interesting to the little ones. If you're at all a space nerd like me, the archival footage from the Apollo missions, as well as looks into future NASA missions are really cool, and not really something I would have expected to see in a children's show. All-in-all, I feel like it does justice to the original Peanuts, and has a nice balance of humor and cuteness.

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.

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.

Cute, adorable, and very colorful, this show is great! I loved watching the Peanuts growing up and this feels like a modern version of it. I love space and I feel this will get younger kids interested in space! And for those of us adults, it's cute and relaxing to watch. Loving this, Apple!
