For the first time in more than 50 years, Itâs the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown will not air on broadcast network TV.
âI think Charlie Brown is just a little bit of what all of us have inside of us,â Schulz says in archival footage shown in the trailer (watch below). The documentary highlights how the legendary comic creatorâs simple characters impacted millions of people over the decades and became beloved cultural icons. It will honor Schulzâs life and the timeless artistry and global multi-generational popularity of his comic strip.

A new animated Charlie Brown story will be interwoven throughout the documentary, which features interviews with a wide range of guests, including Schulzâs widow, Jean Schulz, tennis great Billie Jean King, Golden Globe-winning actress Drew Barrymore, filmmakers Kevin Smith and Paul Feig,
