Featured reviews
This is a well tell documentary that uses the comedy and graphic style of Peanuts series. Nevertheless, the weird interpretation that some of the guests make about Shultz's work, forcing a relation with feminism, LGBT and racial issues, makes this documentary uncomfortable at some points. Especially taking in account that they deliberately cut all about his Christian faith. For example, they never talked about how the Christmas special ended with Jesus story and how that's the real meaning of Christmas.
In summary, this is a documentary about Peanuts beginnings, their impact on society and how this could fits with some cultural agendas.

They went out of their way to push an agenda. Truly cringeworthy at times.
'Who Are You, Charlie Brown?' is about the life of Peanuts creator, Charles "Sparky" Schulz. Overall its a good documentary, but I feel the animated segments are what holds this film back at times.
I did not know a lot about Charles Schulz going into it, but this movie did a really good job at displaying and explaining Sparky's life and actions. I don't agree with some of the other reviewers here as I think that the documentary parts were pretty good for the most part as it showed how the Peanuts were impactful in so many different peoples lives and how they interpreted the characters. My only complaint for the interviews was that they seemed short and lacking passion at times.
And maybe I'm biased but I found the animated story to be a good idea, but the animation itself seemed very "corporate" and a little out of touch than previous specials even from as recently as the early 2000's.
In conclusion, this is a good but not great documentary. Great for those who have been impacted by Sparky and the Peanuts. Very inclusive and welcoming of all Peanuts fans! If you want to learn a little more about the creator of the Peanuts then give it a watch!

Who doesn't like Charlie Brown? I was hoping for a light-hearted informative biography on Charles' Schultz's life. I ended up with a politically-charged progressive woke film. I'm open minded and accept everyone but there were far reaches made in this doc that had nothing to do with the subject matter. Oh brother.
This documentary about charlie brown and his maker start out great. Then after the first 10min you start slowly to see where this is heading. Is it really impossible to honor anything from another time, without dragging in the lgbtq and feminist with their agenda?... dont waste your time watching this, stick to the old comics and catroon films. If anything get remaked avoid it as the pest.
