Pleasure of speaking with Mark Evestaff (Executive Producer) and Rob Boutilier (Director) of “Snoopy Presents: 12 Days of Snoopy,” in support of the upcoming special. Catch us discussing the evolution of Snoopy, his imagination, modernizing Peanuts, reaching different generations, classic episodes, and special formats.

In the latest special under the acclaimed “Snoopy Presents” banner, the Peanuts kids are on their best behavior—but Snoopy has landed on Santa’s naughty list. With just 12 days until Christmas, he sets out to prove he’s not such a bad beagle after all, discovering along the way that the season is about more than gifts.

Inspired by the beloved Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz, the special is produced by Peanuts and WildBrain, and is executive produced by Josh Scherba, Stephanie Betts, Logan McPherson, Paige Braddock, Chris Bracco and Mark Evestaff.
