Good ol' Charlie Brown and Snoopy are going 3-D.
20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios say "Peanuts" will hit theaters Nov. 6, 2015. It's the first full-length computer-animated film based on the Charles Schulz comic strip that ran from 1950 to 2000.
Charlie Brown and Snoopy have updated looks in a trailer unveiled Tuesday. The teaser shows the beloved pair up to their old tricks, as Snoopy tries to steal the spotlight and Charlie Brown mutters his famous line "Good grief."
The trailer doesn't reveal whether the rest of the Peanuts crew will also be in the film. But it seems likely that the comic strip's favorite siblings — sweet Linus and sassy Lucy — will also be in 3-D on the big screen.
