I considered myself a fairly avid Peanuts fan when I was younger: owned several books, Read it every day until he retired, was Woodstock in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown in high school, watch anything that comes on tv, collect various merchandise...

But then Fantagraphics started publishing all the strips in order, and I started to notice things.
I think I always knew that Linus was younger, because Lucy and Charlie Brown are the same age and Linus is her younger brother. In the comic strips, Schroeder starts out younger (he's introduced as a baby), but he gets aged up somewhere along the line.
I'm not really annoyed that they're all together in ways that they shouldn't be because, in a lot of ways, this movie isn't for me. It's for the next generation, the kids who have been born in the fifteen years since Schulz's death, who haven't had new Peanuts specials every other year or so. I'm fine with the creative changes that were made because I understand the place they're coming from.
