The Peanuts gangis going to summer camp. Unfortunately, in the new Apple TV+ special, "Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical," when Charlie Brown & Co. arrive at the camp, they learn it is closing. While it's Charlie Brown's last year at the camp, he had hoped his sister Sally, camping for the first time, would also get to have multiple years there. Among their adventures, Snoopy and Woodstock discover a treasure map, which leads them to a trove of musical instruments, prompting the kids to decide to perform a musical to save the camp. The special is directed by Erik Wiese, best known for his work on "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Sonic Prime," and written by Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz's son, Craig Schulz, and his son, Bryan Schulz, along with Cornelius Uliano (they co-wrote 2015's"The Peanuts Movie"). The duo is also among the special's co-executive producers. Original music for the special is created by Emmy-nominated singer and songwriter Ben Folds — also theone-time artistic advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra— whose songs in the special include "Leave It Better," which can be heard in the trailer. Other music contributors include composer Jeff Morrow ("Snow White") and the composing team Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner ("High School Musical: The Musical: The Series").
