Mar 7, 2014 · Powered by JustWatch. I'm not convinced that the world really needed a big budget, 3-D, feature-length reboot of the adventures of Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman, but here it is. 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 begins at a breakneck pace as Mr. Peabody (Ty Burrell), a talking dog of almost superhuman personal accomplishment, narrates to camera the major events of his life and the circumstances surrounding his adoption of a boy named Sherman (Max Charles).
During this opening monologue we learn that the pair take trips into different periods of history in a high-tech flying time machine called the WABAC (pronounced 'way back'), an excuse for an action-filled French Revolution opening replete with sword fights, explosions and sewer chases.
The film is an apparent passion project for The Lion King director Rob Minkoff that has been in fruition for years. It is based on Peabody's Improbable History, a late '50s/early '60s cartoon segment from The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. It served as something of a progenitor of other edutainment fare such as Carmen Sandiego, with the fast-talking dog and his inquisitive boy sidekick Sherman travelling through important periods of history.
Mr. Peabody & Sherman takes a more contemporary approach to the source material, introducing an element of light drama due to Mr. Peabody's position as Sherman's adoptive father coming under threat in one of the film's main subplots, as well as issues of Sherman's identity being raised by a dog. It also introduces the character of Penny, a rather bratty and unlikable classmate of Sherman's, who instigates the events that lead to the trio's time-travelling escapades around locations such as Troy, renaissance Italy and ancient Egypt.
Mr Peabody & Sherman is inoffensive fare, but it is not one of DreamWorks' best efforts, and should appeal primarily to younger children. Don't expect to be mulling the film's message too long after viewing.
