What You Need To Know:
SNOPPY IN SPACE is highly enjoyable, funny, wholesome, and educational. The first season has a strong moral worldview stressing love, loyalty, friendship, helping others in trouble, hard work, encouraging other people, and lifelong learning. Some Peanuts fans may feel that Snoopy’s character has changed from the original cartoons by Charles Schulz. The often positive Snoopy now gets discouraged and sulks when things don’t go his way. However, much like the original stories, Snoopy is silly but adorable and loyal. He and his little yellow bird friend, Woodstock, may argue, but they are fast friends. Family viewers of all ages will enjoy SNOOPY IN SPACE. The slapstick cartoon violence is very light, funny and child-friendly.
