10 Great Movies You Probably Missed (That You Can Now Catch On Netflix)

6. The Peanuts Movie

Based on the classic comic-strip, The Peanuts Movie is a delightfully zany animated romp which follows the exploits of Charlie Brown as he tries to win the affection of his classroom sweetheart, and lovable beagle Snoopy, who is trying to save Fifi from the villainous Red Baron and his army.

For us UK folk, The Peanuts Movie released smack bang in the middle of Star Wars: The Force Awakens week, and with the epic space opera soaking up so much movie-going time, a lot of people definitely missed this pleasant, very funny animated gem.

The movie has a great message about just being yourself which is excellent viewing material for impressionable young kids, and the hilarious antics of Snoopy liven up what can be, at times, a simple and bare-bones plot. Still, with an animation style that feels familiar, yet fresh, there's plenty to enjoy here, and the suite of relatable characters will keep you invested till the very end.

He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
