‘Who Are You, Charlie Brown?’ review: Audiences are given peanuts in this too-short love note to Sparky
The Hindu
Packing seven decades of landmark cartoon history into an hour, documentary ‘Who Are You, Charlie Brown?’ on Charles M Schulz’s life does little to invoke the nostalgia of ‘Peanuts’
We can all relate to Charlie Brown. The “lovable loser who can never seem to catch a break” — whose goal in life is to kick a football that is constantly tugged away from him at the last second, and to woo the adorable redhead down the street — became a household name since his debut in the ‘50s. As did his creator, the veritable Charles Munroe ‘Sparky’ Schulz. So it was exciting when Apple TV+ announced Who Are You Charlie Brown?, a documentary on the late cartoonist and his imagination. The 54-minute documentary is a curation of cartoon clips, video and audio archives of Schulz over the years and many piece-to-cameras of other famous faces such as Schulz’s wife Jean, journalist Al Roker and Noah Schnapp (who voices Charlie Brown in the newer releases), among others. .More Related News
