Movies like this fascinate me. They're designed to rake in opening weekend grosses and DVD/Blu-Ray sales, but they have the cultural lifespan of a mayfly. While some kid somewhere may cherish this on this on home video, most people have probably forgotten it by now, a mere six months after its release. I enjoyed watching it because the filmmakers' dilemma acted as subtext in every scene: "How the hell," they may have asked, "do you adapt a bunch of five-minute animated snippets whose whole raison d'etre was history puns into a feature-length film half a century later?" Taken as a whole, Mr. Peabody & Sherman constitutes one answer to that hilarious question.

Obviously, you need a plot. The film's core is…

"If a boy can adopt a dog, I see no reason why a dog can not adopt a boy."

As soon as the credits began rolling my little brother looked at me and said "wow, this was even better than The LEGO movie." I wouldn't go as far as him, this isn't on the same level, but I was surprised considering I never thought this film would be any good. My expectations for this movie were really low, but as soon as Mr. Peabody and Sherman's excellent adventure through time began I was hooked.

An energetic, sometimes hilarious family film, Rob Minkoff's "Mr. Peabody & Sherman" offers a colorful slice of adventure and science fiction guaranteed to please both the adults who know the film's source material and children who do not. Based on Jay Ward's classic characters, the film is an enjoyable animated entertainment.

Time travel, school-age rivalries, and the love between a dog and his boy guide the plot of this Dreamworks-produced romp. The narrative is at its best when its protagonists find themselves stuck in anachronistic epochs like the Trojan war and the French Revolution, but rolls along nicely even when its focus is on the story's less smart aspects.

Minkoff guides a production consisting of lively sequences and vividly rendered characters.…

The latest computer animated DreamWorks movie is the 4th movie that began its origins from the classic tv show...Rocky and Bullwinkle. Mr. Peabody is a very smart talking dog. Sherman is his adoptive son. Together they travel in their time machine and educate Sherman in history. On Sherman's first day of school....he gets in trouble with other children who do not believe he has been time traveling.

I went to the movie with my 5 and 7 year old daughters. I would wager that most of the jokes went flying over their little heads. As an adult...I could appreciate the Mona Lisa, Spartacus, and Trojan Horse jokes....but those jokes just caused confused looks on my children. Usually after watching a…
