20th Century Fox have debuted the full length trailer for The Peanuts Movie.

As you can see from the trailer all your favourite characters are here from Charlie Brown, to Linus, to Pigpen, to Lucy, to Sally, plus–of course–Snoopy!

This film looks to be so awesome and will appeal to not only the little ones but also the older generation for a trip down memory lane.

It seems the creators have really stayed true to the classic comic strip style that we know and love.
