Mr. Peabody & Sherman

Mr. Peabody, genius, has adopted a boy, Sherman. Together they travel time in his “way-back” machine learning about history first hand and making friends with famous historical figures. When Sherman is faced with a bully at school he tries to impress her by showing her the “way-back” machine, in doing so, they alter history and need Mr. Peabody to help them set things right.


I grew up watching the Mr. Peabody and Sherman shorts on the Rocky and Bullwinkle show on PBS. It was one of my favorites. The dry humor and puns somehow made me laugh and I was really looking forward to this movie…

It was cute. Not great, but not bad. To be honest it was like watching an animated version of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure which isn’t too horrible. Most of the humor and the historical events might be outside the frame of reference for a small child – but there is enough noise to keep them entertained.

**1/2 Rentable

Rated PG (mild violence and rude humor)
