Ahead of the premiere of the all-new Earth Day Peanuts special, It’s the Small Things, Charlie Brown, on Friday, April 15, Apple TV+ today revealed the trailer for the new original special.
The special is based on the classic Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz and features an original song by American singer-songwriter Ben Folds. You can watch the trailer below.
In celebration of Earth Day, It’s the Small Things, Charlie Brown follows Sally’s bond with a special little flower on the baseball field that may spell disaster for the big game.
For Charlie Brown and the team, it’s just the inspiration they need to make a positive impact on their environment.

It is executive produced by Craig Schulz, Bryan Schulz, Cornelius Uliano, Paige Braddock, Josh Scherba, Stephanie Betts, Amir Nasrabadi, and Anne Loi.
