Peanuts by Schulz - Ein Scanimation-Buch

by Rufus Butler Seder

Good grief, the gang’s all here! Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, Sally, and, of course, Snoopy—these cherished characters from the most popular comic strip of all time meet the magic of Scanimation. Ten memorable scenes—in clear and colorful Scanimations, with smooth-flowing, detailed images—are brought to life in the book, each accompanied by the inspiring words of wisdom from Charles M. Schulz that make PEANUTS so special. Charlie Brown runs to launch his kite, with the caption “Sometimes there are things you just can’t resist doing.” Snoopy does his happy “To dance is to live.” Lucy skips “Life is more than just lying around.” Plus Schroeder plays the piano, Snoopy battles the Red Baron, Sally dances with Linus, and Charlie Brown tries to kick—and of course, as he will for all eternity, misses—the football. PEANUTS is one of the most beloved and best-known brands of all time. Every day over 45 million people read the strip; its animated specials have aired on television for the past fifty years (growing in popularity—A Charlie Brown Christmas was the highest-rated prime time special in 2012); it has millions of Facebook fans; and in 2015, to celebrate the 65th anniversary of PEANUTS, 20th Century Fox will release a 3D animated movie. And now, Scanimation. It’s PEANUTS—funny and wise and beloved, forever a part of our lives—like you’ve never seen before.

Talk about a walk down memory lane...Peanuts is like an old friend who you bump into years latter: and just like that you are a kid again.

Meine Familie ist ohne mich nach Hamburg gefahren und ich musste ganz alleine zuhause bleiben (und Arno Schmidt lesen). Zum Trost hat mir meine Tochter das Peanuts Scanimation-Buch mitgebracht und tatsächlich, es funktioniert:
ich kann die "Kurzfilme" nicht ansehen, ohne dabei gute Laune zu bekommen. Was mehr kann man erwarten als ein echtes Lächeln auf die Lippen gezaubert zu bekommen?
Vielen Dank, liebe Silke!

What can I say? It's Peanuts - Charlie Brown, Snoopy, the gang's all here and the clever scanimations add simply joy & laughter to the day.
A delightful, cheerful pick-me-up.

What a wonderful use for a very old form of animation.

Cute kids book with quotes from the Peanuts characters., but the Scanimation pages are a bit hard to see.

[Amanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute “moving picture” book with short quotes inside. My baby didn’t find it more interesting than a normal board book so maybe save your money for when the kid is 3-5.

It’s my first time encountering a scanimation book. It’s unique and fun! I also liked the quotes from the characters included in the book.

This was a crowd pleaser for the whole family! Benji was fascinated by the changing/moving pictures, and My husband spent extra time trying to figure out how it works hahaha. And who doesn't love the Peanuts gang?? Each page had a simple inspiration quote from one of the characters, with the related moving picture on the facing page. All around cute and fun.

A Scanimation book starring the Peanuts gang. Quotes from various characters make up the text and tend toward a life's lessons/words to live by theme.

Nice gift book material. PreK-2.

Moving Peanuts - what's not to like?

Gotta love Peanuts, but I'm still not a fan of the ugly Scanimation format.
