History Trivia / ThePeanutsMovie

** In the Japanese dub, the Little Red-Haired Girl is dubbed by Creator/ManaAshida, whom many non-Japanese viewers can remember her as [[Film/PacificRim young Mako Mori]]. Sally is [[Anime/SpaceDandy Erssime]].

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The movie contains a number of these for problems that fans had with the original comic strip and animated specials, most notably, toning down the KafkaComedy. Chief among the examples is Charlie Brown's book report on ''Literature/WarAndPeace'' — in the special ''WesternAnimation/HappyNewYearCharlieBrown'', a number of fans questioned what kind of teacher would make an eight-year-old kid read ''War and Peace'' and write a book report on it over Christmas break. (''And then refuse to believe that the kid would have done it by himself''). In ''The Peanuts Movie'', Charlie Brown is the one who picks ''War and Peace'' to do a book report on, because he wants to impress the Little Red-Haired Girl and deliberately goes for what he's told is "the greatest book of all time," and he does it all himself because the Little Red-Haired Girl was sick. Charlie Brown's ButtMonkey status is still there, but played more dramatically, as tragically, a gust of wind slips the book report paper out of his hands into the air, right into the path of the model of The Red Baron's plane, which shreds the paper.

* StillbornFranchise: Since the film was a critical and commercial success, Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios has expressed interest in a sequel. Unfortunately, they only had the rights to make one film and the Schulz estate, while pleased with the result, never gave the green light before Blue Sky’s closure in 2021, and even then the latter signed a deal with Creator/AppleTVPlus to create new ''Peanuts'' content for them exclusively, making a true follow up, let alone another theatrically released ''Peanuts'' film, unlikely. Ultimately however, Apple and Creator/Wildbrain would create a new Peanuts movie in the same style as this one in the mid-2020s.

** An original version of the Talent Contest would've include Lucy interfering Schroeder's Beethoven act because she think the performance is disastrous. It was cut because it took too long to build up and wasn't considered funny enough for the film.
