BREAKING NEWS: Charlie Brown Comes to Boomerang

Good Grief......Kidscreen reports that the new animated Peanuts shorts made in France are coming to Boomerang.  This marks the first US deal for these new shorts (about 500 made) and marks the first time that anything Peanuts related will air on Boomerang.

In addition, Boomerang has also announced that they will be supported by its sister network Cartoon Network via promotions on that channel and its Cartoon Network app.  The network since the rebrand brought new premieres of Wabbit, Be Cool Scooby-Doo, and Shaun the Sheep.

Based on the popular comic strip by Charles Schultz, Peanuts follows the story of Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Sally, Schroeder, and the rest of the Peanuts gang including the world's most popular beagle....Snoopy.  Nearly 50 years worth of comic strips, followed by many TV specials and five feature films including the upcoming Peanuts movie coming in November, the characters has since become beloved around the world.  This year marks Peanuts' 65th anniversary and A Charlie Brown Christmas as well as Peanuts specials in general are celebrating 50 years.
Until these shorts show up on the schedule, I won't be covering much of this series until then.  However, like many other properties that have aired or currently airing on Boomerang, this means that any big news about Peanuts will be covered on here.  This is very exciting for me, because this is my favorite cartoon.  And Peanuts will be right at home with other big names currently airing such as Bugs Bunny, Tom and Jerry, Scooby-Doo, Pokemon, and many others.  Even Garfield is on Boomerang at the moment.  Stay with us for the latest news about these new Peanuts shorts on Boomerang
