About

Peanuts is the world's most beloved comic strip, created by Charles M. Schulz and debuted in 1950 with an unlikely round-headed hero, Charlie Brown, and his imaginative beagle Snoopy. The strip and its ensemble cast—Linus, Lucy, Sally, Woodstock and the gang—anchor a 75-year global multimedia franchise spanning animation, streaming content, merchandise, theme park attractions and experiences.
