First teaser trailer for the upcoming Peanuts movie

When I first wrote about the upcoming Peanuts movie back in 2012, I was less than enthused. Talk of a high-tech adaptation of one of the world's most beloved comic strips didn't sit well with me. I thought moving away from the hand-drawn feel of the originals was the quickest way to ruin it.

I now admit I may have been a little hasty in my judgement. After seeing what Disney had done with its short film Paperman, I started warming up to the idea that technology need not ruin classic-style animation.

And now, having watched the first teaser trailer for 2015's Peanuts, I actually think it could work. Check it out:


I still think 3D is a bit over the top, though.
