This is a sad cartoon drawn for adults

I have always liked the comics and animations of "Peanuts". When I was a teenager, I didn't know much about it. I felt that this cartoon didn't have the humor and sense of joy that a cartoon should have. I didn't really understand the meaning of this cartoon until I looked back at it as an adult.
It is said that "The Little Prince" is a fairy tale for adults, but I think "Peanuts" must be a cartoon for adults.
Snoopy, the smartest and self-satisfied, is always so easy to exist, and the humorous scenes it brings are often laughable. And that group of children, their lives are always so funny, embarrassing, unsatisfactory, and messy, but their lives are not like the world of adults? So when I was a kid, I couldn't understand the melancholic sense of humor in this animation.
Those little children, one by one, live like little adults. Some lack self-confidence, some are obsessed with their own world, some are innocent, and some are domineering...No one has a complete and sound character-just like us in this world.
Oh, except for the red-haired girl that Charlie Brown secretly fell in love with.
She seems to be the perfect incarnation that lives in each of us—beauty, tolerance, gentleness, understanding, and more importantly, she knows how to appreciate Charlie Brown's pitiful and unnoticeable shining advantages.
It is precisely because each of us still has beautiful dreams in our hearts that we continue to struggle with the bad things in life and live bravely. Although we are often messed up by the mess, we will still comfort ourselves to live a good life. Just like the big smile of Charlie Brown at the end.
This is a cartoon film for adults who can watch calmly and laugh occasionally, but with a sense of sadness.

The Peanuts Movie quotes

  • Marcie: [about Peppermint Patty] Just my luck I chose a partner who thinks Moby Dick is a hockey player.

  • Peppermint Patty: Marcie just read off a long list of great novels. "Huckleberry Something, Catcher with a Pie." But she said the greatest book of all time is "Leo's Toy Store" by some guy called "Warren Peace".
