The first official trailer (below) of “Snoopy Presents: Welcome Home, Franklin,” shows how Charlie Brown and Franklin first met and the moments leading up to the big race. As the duo become partners trying to win the competition together, Franklin shows Charlie Brown his signature dance moves comically asking if he could be related to James Brown!

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968.
“Snoopy Presents: Welcome Home, Franklin,” explores several themes including:
