VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Mihai Toma Mr. Peabody, a highly intelligent dog and very different from all his kind, becomes the first to adopt a human being. Together with his son, they use the secret time machine to travel into the past and explore all the corners of history. Everything goes normal until Sherman goes to school and has a fight with one of his colleagues. This event triggers an unexpected visit from child care which are determined to take Sherman away, but Peabody is determined to change their mind. He organizes a special dinner with the child's parents and the representative from child care but his plans are soon to be altered by Sherman's ego who will ultimately put the stability of the time continuum into peril.Although it begins atypical, this movie presents an interesting story featuring a dog who can do practically anything and his attempts to maintain the course of time flowing in the right direction after his son and the latter's colleague travel back unattended and without permission. It is very impressive with the dog's abilities and the animated special effects which provide a special aura to the atmosphere.Its story is interesting and although not groundbreaking, it manages to keep your attention throughout the whole picture. Despite the fact that Sherman is quite a troublemaker, mainly due to his friend, he plays an important role in the movie's intrigue and slowly starts to mature in order to impress his father. This movie came as a pleasant surprise for me as I wasn't expecting such a quality animation from this title but it proved me wrong and I enjoyed every single part of it.

morrison-dylan-fan Taking a look at the TV listings of "family" films getting shown,I was intrigued to find that along with the major blockbusters,that more overlooked animated titles were being shown. Only knowing the title previously from spoofs on Family Guy,I felt it was time to meet the real Mr. Peabody & Sherman.The plot:Since going to court to get the right for a dog to adopt a human boy (!)Mr. Peabody uses a time machine to travel across all historical eras with his son Sherman. Getting in a fight with Penny,Sherman runs the risk of being expelled from school. Wanting fix things,Peabody invites Penny and her parents round for dinner. Mending things with her family,Peabody pushes Sherman to find ways to fix things with Penny. Struggling to find something in common,Sherman breaks Peabody's rule,and gives Penny a time machine tour.View on the film:Rolling out with a loose history lesson,the screenplay by Craig Wright/ Robert Ben Garant/Thomas Lennon & Michael McCullers bends lively Sci-Fi with quirky Comedy,as the square pegs of Peabody and Sherman are delightfully placed in historical events that have a surprisingly risqué chop (including a guillotine!) Sprinkling Penny and her family into the time fold,the writers deliver a kind note on family bond that skips becoming sickly sweet thanks to dry wit humour and an energetic time travel adventure which allows Peabody to cross watches with Washington and Antoinette.Witnessing some of the biggest events in history,director Rob Minkoff gives the movie a zany shine,lit by crisp blues and dusty yellows taking Peabody and Sherman across Egypt and deep into the criss-crossing time tunnels. Retaining their original design, Minkoff gives each of the characters distinctive rough edges,that emphasis the off-beat comedy exchanges in Peabody and Sherman's time keeping.

Eddie Cantillo Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2014) Starring: Ty Burrel, Max Charles, Ariel Winters, Allison Janney, Ellie Kemper, Stephen Colbert, Stephen Tobolowsky, Karan Brar, Joshua Rush, Adam Alexi-Malle, Stanley Tucci, Leslie Mann, and Lake Bell Directed by Rob Minkoff Review HE'S LEAVING HIS MARK ON HISTORY You know I'm beginning to believe that Dreamworks is getting better with their animated feature films, I've heard great things about their How to Train Your Dragon movies, which I have not seen and this film in particular was surprisingly not just good but great. The Film revolves around Sherman who bites a girl named Penny, after she calls him a dog. His father a dog named Mr. Peabody decides to clear this up by having Penny and her parents come over for dinner. Penny doesn't believe Sherman when he tells her about meeting George Washington, so he shows her The Wayback which is a time machine and she becomes engaged to king Tut. Mr. Peabody and Sherman attempt to get Penny out but they stop along the way when the wayback runs out of battery and must return home to stop the portal bringing everyone from the past to the present. The film is based on Mr. Peabody & Sherman comic,cartoon or whatever it originally was where they had adventures through time and history. It's quite interesting and packs a wonderful family punch and the kids would probably love this as well the adults. You can bet this movie is a lot of fun, it excels in animation and fast pacing that when there traveling in the wayback or in a situation it's like a jolt of excitement. You can say that this is one of the best animated films of the year. The performances are amazing, I don't all the voice actors but Ty Burrel who voices Sherman was excellent and while I don't know who voiced Penny and Mr. Peabody I dound them too be great as well. All the elements of a good animated kid's film are not present it lacks that gut feeling you have for the characters, but the gut feeling of them surviving a situation is there from the problems occurrence to the resolve. I give Mr. Peabody & Sherman a four out of five.

terrigunmor Mr. Peabody and Sherman are two characters from the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. The show was a modest hit, and lasted from 1959 to 1964. So many years after the show's cancellation, people went on to make films based on the series. These are Boris and Natasha (1992), Dudley Do- Right (1999), The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000), and then Mr. Peabody and Sherman (2014). Sadly, none of these films were successful in the box office. And although Mr. Peabody and Sherman made more money than its budget, the film still created losses for the filmmakers. It's kinda hard to believe how a TV series can become successful but its film adaptations don't do so well in theaters. Perhaps ever since the show got cancelled in 1964, things about it pretty much disappeared from people's minds. And perhaps reception of the show would have a been a lot better had the studio people picked a boy to be that flying grey critter.
