Snoopy takes flight in new trailer

No new year celebrations are complete until you see Snoopy take flight on his doghouse.

Luckily, the trailer for The Peanuts Movie, due out towards the end of this year, will keep fans of the popular comic strip happy.

The animated clip shows the infamous white dog taking a trip to Paris aboard his doghouse-plane.

Charlie Brown and his fellow Peanuts characters, including Lucy, Schroeder and Patty, can be seen at the end of the clip seated in a cinema in a scene where Brown is typically the butt of the joke as he tips a bucket of popcorn over his head and mutters his infamous catchphrase: "Good grief".

Charles Schulz died in 2000.
