A genius dog, Mr. Peabody, adopted an orphan and named him Sherman. Sherman is very dynamic in class and good at history, that makes teacher and his friend surprised except Penny. In one time visiting Sherman’s house, he reveals by accident the reason why he is good at history: The time machine. The troubles come when Sherman and his girlfriend used it to go back to the past and changed the history that makes the future change, too. Recognizing this, Mr. Peabody comes back to the past with the children and try to fix the mistakes.
Fifty years ago, animated entertainment was a lot quieter. But that was my "Mr. Peabody & Sherman." This is someone else's. And it should give them, and even a few open-minded parents, almost just as much giggly fun.
Mr. Peabody is fast-paced and jammed with rib-poking historical references, but it couldn't be called witty, even on the broadly winking level of the original cartoon.
It's better than OK, and a few elements sing; but overall it frustrates. Its delights come from its willingness to depart from formula, but formula still rules it.
Mr. Peabody & Sherman has a cool, midcentury-modern look (dog and boy live in a populuxe Manhattan penthouse) and a voice cast that may not be A-list but fits the bill nicely.
