I've always been a fan of the mix between animation and music, and Mayer Hawthorne really nails that pop-soul vibe in "Ice Water." It's cool to see how his style complements the charming world of Camp Snoopy. I think soundtracks can elevate animated shows to another level, and when they're done right, like this, it makes the experience even more enjoyable. What do you all think about the role of music in animation? Are there any soundtracks that have really stood out to you in other shows?

I watched the video three times already and I still get chills at the end. The animation style matches the song so well, it feels like they actually cared about making something good instead of just filling time. I really hope Apple puts out a full soundtrack because Snoopy content deserves proper music, not just background noise. My kids already hum the tune around the house without even trying. If this pushes more people to check out the show, I am fully here for it. Season 2 clearly earned this treatment and I think we are only getting started with what Peanuts and Apple can do together. Give us more songs like this one please.

As a parent who has sat through every episode with my daughter, I can say this song hit different for us. She asked me to play it again right after it ended, and that almost never happens with background show music. If Apple does make a soundtrack, I am buying it day one, no question. The Peanuts brand has always known how to use music properly, going back decades, and this feels like a continuation of that instead of something forced. My only concern is pacing, since kids shows sometimes overuse one song until it gets annoying. But for now I am enjoying it and so is my daughter, and honestly that is the whole point of a kids show anyway.

Been following Peanuts music since I was a kid myself, and I can tell you this one respects the legacy without copying it directly. The instrumentation choices feel deliberate, not just something slapped together for marketing. Comparing it to older Peanuts tracks, there is a similar warmth in the melody even though the production is obviously more modern. I do not think it needs to be a radio hit to be considered successful. Some of the best kids show music was never meant for charts, it was meant to live inside the show and stick in your memory for years. That seems to be exactly what they are going for here, and honestly I respect that approach more than chasing trends.

I appreciate the effort but I am still on the fence about whether this show needed a season 2 in the first place. The first season already wrapped up nicely in my opinion. That said, if the quality stays this high, I will not complain much further.

I agree that releasing a music video is a smart move. A lot of people discover cartoons through clips and songs before they even watch a full episode. If someone likes the song, they might end up checking out the show too. That seems like an easy way to reach more viewers without spending a lot on advertising.
