Wow! Such a good movie.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

When i saw the trailer i thought that it won't be so good, c'mon a dog adopting a child etc. In the beginning i got a little irritated by Peabody's look, But it was alright. The movie was awesome from the beginning till the end. I can't believe what people are saying about this. But for me it was an awesome movie. A DON'T MISS INDEED

Out of all the cartoons that aired on television in the 1960's, the best one by far was probably "Rocky and Bullwinkle". While the animation was cheap (as most shows were back in the day), it's was great featuring some funny laughs and memorable characters that will be remembered for years to come. They were also many other segments during the show with the most famous being one involving a intelligent canine named Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman who go through many various places in time thanks to Peabody's latest invention, the WABAC. Flash forward fifty years later, and the duo have now appeared for the first time on the big screen thanks to the help through DreamWorks Animation and "Lion King" director Rob Minkoff, and I can happily say that I was satisfied with the results they brought. "Mr. Peabody and Sherman" has the same charm and clever humor that the show had while adding the right amount of heart leading to a very enjoyable movie.For the past years, the gifted Mr. Peabody (Ty Burell) has been tutoring his adopted son Sherman (Max Charles) on history while using a time machine called the WABAC. They have gone through many different places at different times, like the French Revolution or the days of Van Gogh, the list goes on. Having travelled thru time for many years, Sherman has become a very educated student in history which angers a jealous girl named Penny (Ariel Winter) leading to a fight that ends in the principals office. Worried that Sherman might get taken away by an angry Child Protectives Services agent (Allison Janney), Peabody sets out to make peace between the two kids hoping they can reconcile. However, Sherman's only way of impressing the girl is the time machine, which results in her getting lost in Ancient Egypt. After warning Peabody about the incident, Sherman and him go off on a crazy time adventure to try get Penny home.While many other time travel movies have basically outdone flaws that were present in the show ("Back to the Future" is a notable example), the story still feels rather faithful and funny. One notable addition was a new backstory involved with Peabody finding Sherman which I liked better than the cartoon as I thought it lead to the movie having some good heart to it. The story,however, isn't without its flaws. While I heavily enjoyed the bits involving the time travel, the subplot about Sherman being taken away was very unnecessary. It felt very forced into the story and even to the worst part of the movie which, without spoiling, involves one of the characters defending the other. The animation was pretty good. While it does have some awkward moments involving characters drawn specifically in a 2D format being turned into computer models, I thought the environments created felt faithful. The colors also popped out of the screen which I always love to see in DreamWorks' movies. The characters are also pretty fun. I particularly enjoyed the father-son relationship of Peabody and Sherman. I thought it was handled perfectly which lead to some good emotional moments. The new characters might turn people off though. While I thought Penny was a nice addition and thought she had a good chemistry with Sherman, I did not like the CPS agent. She was a perfect example of a one-dimensional character as the only emotion I got from her was anger. That's it. It was frustrating to see no other emotions coming from her. However, it's really a nitpick."Mr. Peabody and Sherman" was a very fun movie. I thought that, despite it's problems, it had a fun story, some good animation, and some really funny characters. While children might get confused by the movie at parts, I think that the film will entertain them. I certainly was entertained, and I think that's worth the price of admission.

The movie Mr. Peabody and Sherman is a children's science fiction movie, with a theme of unconditional love. This very inspirational movie is without doubt, a clear message that any one no matter how small or what kind can be a genius. The movie begins with the introduction of Mr. Peabody explaining his life and his very marvelous achievements throughout it. Then young Sherman enters the movie with the explanation of Mr. Peabody's best invention a time machine. Then they travel in time to the Palace of Versailles in 1789, they attend a dinner party for Queen Marie Antoinette, while trouble is uprising with the people of Paris. Then they go through the many stages of the revolution, during this period Mr. Peabody show his quick thinking and ingenuity when he escapes the fate of the guillotine. At the end of this adventure Mr. Peabody asks the boy about what he learned in this trip. Then they return to the modern day and it is Sherman's first day at school, Mr. Peabody telling Sherman about rules at school and sends him off. At first Sherman makes a good impression in history class, but makes a girl named Penny jealous. This leads to some bulling and in defense Sherman bites her. This calls Mr. Peabody's attention and so does to the Department of Child Safety. This causes tension. Later Mr. Peabody invites the Peterson family (Penny's parents) for a dinner party to settle the matter before The agent comes to inspect the house. Later a temptation forces Sherman to use the Way Back or the time machine, then penny gets engaged to King Tutankhamen and they rescue them, then they to Florence, and many more time traveling mania happens and tension begins to sprout when Sherman finds out that the agent from child safety is trying to take him away from Mr. Peabody. Then they end up in Troy in the Trojan War, after a rescue Mr. Peabody seems to die, but that is not the end.Personally this was and still is a great movie to watch. The whole concept of a dog being a super genius and some fancy scientist intrigues me to watch this. Not only is this movie inspirational but teaches a whole lot about big historical events and how fast the mind can work. I found this a very important key in a children's movie, while in today's society we are hit with a lot of movies that are crammed in with pure nonsense and don't educate the child in an engaging way as this movie does. It is funny, and very engaging not only for children but the whole family as well. I would really recommend it, and it's message to the family viewers of today.
