Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the Peanuts gang (Franklin, Lucy, Linus, Peppermint Patty and Sally) revel in a snow day. Twentieth Century Fox/Peanuts Worldwide LLC by [Rachel Handler](https://time.com/author/rachel-handler/) ## Rachel Handler Sep 22, 2015 3:41 PM UTC We can all agree that the only thing that’s missing from Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts world is, well, us. _The Peanuts Movie_ director Steve Martino thinks so, too—so he went ahead and built a website that finally makes entering the Peanuts’ universe possible. [Peanutize Me](http://www.peanutizeme.com/), a new website from Martino and his cohorts, lets you transform yourself into a Schulz-esque character, then share your cartoon self with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. “Charles Schulz always said there’s a little bit of him in all the characters he created,” Martino [told USA Today](http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2015/09/21/peanutizeme-website-peanuts-characters/72475976/). “You build the character that represents you. And since these are Peanuts characters, they sort of point to people’s inner child.” Now’s the time to ask yourself: Is your inner child a blonde, or a brunette? Does he or she sport a ‘90s-style friendship bracelet, or a pair of glasses? Does your inner child prefer standing directly in front of Linus as he snuggles his security blanket in the autumn breeze, or directly in front of Pig-Pen as he revels in his cloud of dirt at a school dance? _The Peanuts Movie_ hits theaters Nov. 6. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4044405/peanuts-movie-peanutize-me/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4044405/peanuts-movie-peanutize-me/"},"headline":"This Handy Tool Will Turn You Into a Peanuts Character","datePublished":"2015-09-22T15:41:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:25:03.753Z","description":"Embrace your inner (cartoon) child","url":"https://time.com/4044405/peanuts-movie-peanutize-me/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","viral","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0d7f83bb00040fb2/698864bca988ca27f86b4711/peanuts-movie.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rachel Handler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/rachel-handler/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0d7f83bb00040fb2/698864bca988ca27f86b4711/peanuts-movie.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"PEANUTS-Movie","caption":"PEANUTS","creditText":"Twentieth Century Fox/Peanuts Worldwide LLC","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4044405/peanuts-movie-peanutize-me/","name":"This Handy Tool Will Turn You Into a Peanuts Character"}}]}] ```
