Some 20 classic Peanuts comic strips have been animated by hand into 3-4-minute-long “webisodes” that will be offered on Apple’s iTunes Store at a price of two for 99 cents. However, beginning today, fans will be able to download two of them for free during a limited promotional period.
The cartoons, based on strips that appeared in the mid ’60s, were produced by Warner Bros. Motion Comics and supervised by Jeannie Schulz, widow of Charles Schulz, who created the Peanuts characters. Schulz indicated that no thought was given to turning the strips into 3-D, computer-generated animated productions.
In an interview with the Associated Press she said, “CG doesn’t quite look right (the characters). … I still love that funny way they walk along.”
