Peppermint Patty suggests Marcie run for Class President since she has such great ideas; however, since Marcie is too shy, she doesn\u2019t want to do it. Throughout the film, we get to see the challenges Marcie faces while trying to juggle being an introvert and wanting to help everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Snoopy_Presents_Kind_Marcie_Photo_0106.jpg?resize=200%2C111&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11148\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:111px\" width=\"200\" height=\"111\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>My favorite aspect of this film is what the director Raymond S. Persi refers to as \u201cstill picture\u201d scenes, which are used to show Marcie\u2019s feeling when talking about not wanting to run for Class President. She goes into her own little world surrounded by black shadows that appear to be \u201ccoming for her.\u201d This film is unique because the other films tend to focus on Charlie Brown, the whole gang, or characters who are popular, special events, and holidays. Instead this one highlights a personality type and Marcie\u2019s challenges. I love that the Executive Producer and son of Charles M. Schultz, Mr. Craig Shultz, drew inspiration for the film from the movie <em>Hidden Figures<\/em> and wanted to make a film about a smart girl with big ideas that just needed a way to show them off!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/oneofakindmarcie.c.jpg?resize=200%2C121&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11151\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:121px\" width=\"200\" height=\"121\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The message of this film is to just be yourself, be one-of-a-kind. Even if you are introverted, you can do anything and even if you feel overwhelmed, that\u2019s okay. You can find other ways to get your ideas out there! In the film, Marcie speaks about this multiple times to herself and to her friends. Don\u2019t let your personality type stop you in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give <em>Snoopy Presents: One-of-a-kind Marcie&nbsp;<\/em>5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 18, plus adults. You can watch&nbsp;it on Apple TV+ starting August 18, 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One-of-a-Kind Marcie follows Marcie, an introvert who loves her solitude but also enjoys helping her friends.
