Because “the internet,” someone made a Peanuts version of Netflix’s hit show Stranger Things and the result is pure genius. The Christmas-themed clip follows a cartoon version of Will Byers as he struggles to readjust after returning from the upside down.
Throughout the three-minute video, Will is seen asking Eleven for psychiatric advice, listening to his homeboys Mike, Lucas and Dustin, and confronting the Demogorgon (who serves as Snoopy’s replacement). The comical mashup was created by Leigh Lahav & Oren Mendez under the YouTube handle OnlyLeigh. Although the Duffer Brothers probably had nothing to do with this, we’d like to assume that its current portrayal of Will is spot-on.
