And if it's from the Horton director, even more so.
(Back when John Hughes was a roll for making the same movie two or three times in a row, his brief burst of self-confidence over the live-action "Dennis the Menace" had him briefly considering a live-action Peanuts....After all, Lucy, well, she was just like the bratty Margaret girl, wasn't she, same movie, what's the big deal?
If you think you can picture what a "John Hughes-comedy Peanuts" would look like, that's what I'm picturing with a Horton/Ice Age Peanuts.) |
Actually, there was a live action Peanuts.
It was a tv special aired on one of the big three networks in the 1970's. I think it was NBC, iirc.
However, they had a human actor playing Snoopy.
Not even in a dog costume. Or anything like it.
Although he was playing a dog, you could see he was just any normal human actor. As that's how it looked. Since he wasn't in any costume.
I don't remember if it used the Peanuts name or the Snoopy name, or the Charlie Brown name
it was horrible.
Although at the same time as a kid, I liked the animated specials.
And no, it wasn't because it was live-action that I hated it. It was just horrible. Even as a kid at the time, I watched and liked certain other live-action tv shows and movies.
