  • The screenplay of the film is written by Karey Kirkpatrick, based on an original story by co-writers Craig Schulz, Bryan Schulz, and Cornelius Uliano, who also worked together on the 2015's 'The Peanuts Movie'. Director Steve Martino from the 2015 film is also returning to helm the new feature.
