Mr. Peabody & Sherman is a 2014 American 3D computer-animated science fiction comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by 20th Century Fox. The film is based on the characters from the 1960s animated television series The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. The film features the voice talents of Ty Burrell as Mr. Peabody, Max Charles as Sherman, Stephen Colbert as Paul Peterson, Ariel Winter as Penny Peterson, and Allison Janney as Ms. Grunion. The film follows the story of Mr. Peabody, a talking dog who is also a brilliant scientist, inventor, and business magnate. Mr. Peabody has adopted a young boy named Sherman and raised him as his own son. Together, they travel through time using Mr. Peabody's WABAC machine (short for "Wayback") to important events in history, where they meet and interact with famous figures, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Marie Antoinette, and King Tut. However, Sherman's misuse of the WABAC machine leads to a series of mishaps throughout history. When Sherman goes to school and tries to impress his classmate Penny Peterson, he tells her about the WABAC machine and takes her back to ancient Egypt to show her the Sphinx being built. There, they accidentally break off the Sphinx's nose, which causes a chain reaction of historical events that threaten to change the course of human history. Mr. Peabody must then use all of his scientific knowledge and ingenuity to fix the past and save the future. However, he faces resistance from Ms. Grunion, a child services agent who disapproves of a dog raising a human child. Ms. Grunion threatens to take Sherman away from Mr. Peabody, leading to a court battle in which Mr. Peabody must prove that he is a fit parent and that their adventures through time have not had any negative effects on Sherman's development. The film is a fun and heartfelt adventure that explores the bond between a father and son, and the importance of learning from the past. The animation is stunning, with vibrant and colorful depictions of historical events and locations. The film is also peppered with clever jokes and puns, making it enjoyable for both children and adults. Overall, Mr. Peabody & Sherman is a charming and entertaining film that is sure to delight audiences of all ages. Its mix of humor, heart, and adventure makes it a must-see for fans of animated films and the original television series alike.
