So, this movie is scheduled for a remake. I imagine they will change the setting, as the original was set in the distant future of 2019. In this future, it is said in the movie's promotional material, America's finest people don't run for president. They run for their lives. It's not a documentary, although some of its "reality tv" predictions did come true (if you paint with a broad enough brush). The rights to the story on which this movie was based were purchased by someone who didn't know who the author was. Appropriately, the name of the movie was the nickname of a political campaign tour bus in the early aughts (a little over 20 years ago). The villain was played by a man remembered less as an actor than by the profession he parodies in this movie. With a non-literal wink and a nod, the main character utters a line made famous by the actor who plays him in another movie/franchise entirely.

What you said was correct, so "Peanuts" is not it. In other news, I guarantee you that the American/good guy was not a dog (nor any form of canine.) He was, however, very obviously patriotic. I don't recall the Red Baron himself ever appearing in this cartoon. However, that having been said, that doesn't mean the rest of the main cast.....

Perhaps because he was a beagle? Snoopy was always "flying missions" against the Red Baron, who was from WWI Germany. But the main characters in Peanuts weren't German... George

No. Think for a moment. Why did the American never utter a single word?

How many cartoons can you name where the main characters worked for The Kaiser? I can only name one. In fairness, the name "the Kaiser" never appears in the cartoon. However, this cartoon was visibly set in one country in one specific time-frame, which means the main characters HAD TO work for The Kaiser. Their insignia make it almost obvious, if one actually stops to think about it, which nobody ever did. The regular characters were guys who worked together, and one American character who was their enemy....who kept winning. He was kinda smug about it. It's funny to say that when he never uttered a single word, but it was also obvious he was smug and celebrated his victories over the others. I will accept the correct name- for bragging rights, the full correct name. I will also accept the common INcorrect name the show is often called by people if they remember it at all.
