AppleTV+, a 40-minute animated special, trains the spotlight, for the first time, directly on Marcie (Arianna McDonald), who famously refers to Peppermint Patty (Lexi Perry) as “sir.”“We liked the idea of exploring different characters,” executive producer Craig Schulz, 70, the son of the late Peanuts creator Charles M. Schultz, told The Post. “We thought the fan base would want to know more about them.
Marcie came up, and we thought ‘What would be the story for Marcie?’ I threw out the movie, ‘Hidden Figures,'” he said. “Marcie is a classic example of a hidden figure. The movie was about people beyond the Apollo program.
In Marcie’s case, she’s the hidden figure behind the success of Peppermint Patty. “Marcie has all sorts of great attributes — she just doesn’t want to be recognized for them, and wants to stay out of the spotlight.” Marcie is seen in the special assisting Peppermint Patty as her caddie during a golf championship. At school, Marcie unexpectedly gets nominated for class president, and starts to help with preventing traffic jams in the hallways — and making sure that everybody gets more slices of pizza at lunch.
As an introvert, however, she struggles with the new attention … but eventually figures out how to be a leader in her own way. “We feel we’ve locked the characters in the timeframe between the late 1960s and the 1980s,” Schulz said. “And so we never let them get out of that universe, with cell phones or iPads or any of that stuff.“Other than that, my objective has always been to honor my dad’s legacy,” he said.
