Feature films[edit]
The rights to the first two theatrical films listed here are currently with CBS, having originally been produced by Cinema Center Films, CBS' short-lived theatrical film division, and originally released to video by CBS/Fox Video. The remaining films were produced and released by Paramount Pictures, which today still holds theatrical rights; having also acquired such rights to the first two films (on behalf of CBS). The television rights are split between CBS Television Distribution (for the first two films) and Trifecta Entertainment & Media (for the later two films), while Paramount holds current home video/DVD rights to all four films (the first two via CBS DVD, the latter two in-house). On October 9, 2012, it was announced that 20th Century Fox's animation studio, Blue Sky Studios, will produce a new Peanuts movie on the big screen on November 25, 2015.[1]
