Peanuts by Schulz is a 2014 French-Italian animated TV programme produced by Normaal Animation Studios in France and Dall'Angelo Pictures in Italy.[1] It is based on the Peanuts strip cartoon and characters by Charles M. Schulz. Its production preceded the Peanuts feature film from 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios that was released in November 2015.
The series is packaged as 500 90-second shorts and 104 seven-minute blocks. The shorts began airing on the channel France 3 in France on November 9, 2014 and on Rai Gulp in Italy on September 17, 2017. They originally aired in the United States on Boomerang and Cartoon Network between May 9 and December 24, 2016. They have been released on DVD as well as being added to HBO Max's Cartoon Network collection.
Episodes[]
All the shorts start with an opening sequence on Charles M. Schulz's drawing board. The camera zooms into a strip cartoon and the classic title of the Sunday strips; "Peanuts featuring Good ol' Charlie Brown", can be seen. Out of the blue, Snoopy bumps into Charlie Brown's head and they fall making the letters say "Peanuts". Finally, Schulz signs the comic strip as Lucy says "By Schulz!" and the shorts start.

Voice actors[]
French and English-language versions of the series were produced in France. The same voice actors, all of whom are adult women who live in France, voice the characters in both versions. This is the first time that the child Peanuts characters have been voiced by adults in English.
The English-language version produced in France has not been shown on television in the United States. Boomerang had the entire series dubbed again using children's voices. This was done to respect the tradition in which real children have always voiced the child characters in Peanuts animated cartoons made in the United States. The child voice actors for the American version of the Peanuts TV programme are children who auditioned for parts in 2015's The Peanuts Movie, were rated highly but did not quite make the cut for the film. Surprisingly, characters such as Violet, and Shermy do not appear in the segments (presumably due to their minor roles in the Peanuts world).
