Man, I haven’t heard that Snoopy thing since I was a child! I don’t think I’d ever heard the intro; just the song.

Sorry I don’t already know this, guys.

Thanks

It should be animated by Studio Ghibli.

Seriously. Miyazaki loves flying scenes to the point of him putting one in pretty much every movie he directs. He even made a low-fantasy movie set around the WWI era called [Porco Russo](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104652/).
