Downton Peanutized!

So I love Peanuts. I have loved this cast of crazy and bewildering cartoon characters since I was a wee lass. No Christmas was complete without a Charlie Brown Christmas and no Halloween could begin without the Great Pumpkin. Of course, as you can see by my office bookshelf, I love all these characters equally and bear no preference to any particular individual...just like this blog. Promise. Anyways, the highly anticipated Charlie Brown movie is coming to theaters in the US in November, and their Official Instagram has provided an app where you can Peanutize yourself or create any other number of characters if you so choose, so I figured why not combine my favorite cartoon strip with my favorite period drama? I clearly have no life and needed a productive way to spend my time, and let's be real, aren't there enough people trying to cure cancer and end world hunger? I would just be in the way. Hence, we have a wacky collection of Downtonian caricatures.

Please note: the Peanutized app is limited in many features such as hairstyles, hair colors, clothing, accessories, etc., so some characters were harder to create than others. Some I feel are absolutely spot on, others I couldn't exactly recall who they were supposed to be after I had finished them. I skipped some characters that couldn't be re-created and still think the Dowager looks like she retired in 1990s Miami...but here they are, cast and crew in all their Snoopified glory. Give the app a try and see who you can create! Click the images to enlarge.
