Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Mr. Peabody, a highly intelligent dog and very different from all his kind, becomes the first to adopt a human being. Together with his son, they use the secret time machine to travel into the past and explore all the corners of history. Everything goes normal until Sherman goes to school and has a fight with one of his colleagues. This event triggers an unexpected visit from child care which are determined to take Sherman away, but Peabody is determined to change their mind. He organizes a special dinner with the child's parents and the representative from child care but his plans are soon to be altered by Sherman's ego who will ultimately put the stability of the time continuum into peril.Although it begins atypical, this movie presents an interesting story featuring a dog who can do practically anything and his attempts to maintain the course of time flowing in the right direction after his son and the latter's colleague travel back unattended and without permission. It is very impressive with the dog's abilities and the animated special effects which provide a special aura to the atmosphere.Its story is interesting and although not groundbreaking, it manages to keep your attention throughout the whole picture. Despite the fact that Sherman is quite a troublemaker, mainly due to his friend, he plays an important role in the movie's intrigue and slowly starts to mature in order to impress his father. This movie came as a pleasant surprise for me as I wasn't expecting such a quality animation from this title but it proved me wrong and I enjoyed every single part of it.

Sweetness and good-natured humor seep from the pores of Mr. Peabody & Sherman, an animated adventure film based on the "Rocky and Bullwinkle" shorts. While not as inventive as 2014's Lego Movie, Minkoff and company managed to bring the 1950s cartoon into the 21st century without completely abandoning the fun self-awareness of the original. A mixture of Indiana-Jones-style adventure, fast pacing and an onslaught of dog puns make this a decent, if somewhat uninspired, outing. It's the story of a genius dog and his human son who travel through time and space learning history and causing havoc along the way. As with most time travel stories, the stakes are high but the peril never quite connects. There are some sloppy moments and missed opportunities especially in the time travel elements. When you have all of time and space at your fingertips, you shouldn't squander that opportunity. However, the focus is clearly on the innocent humor, great action and father-son relationship. Burrell nails it as the witty dog-dad, describing the science of everything and keeping it light, all while saving the day. The set pieces are stunning, recalling the under-appreciated Adventures of Tintin in their exuberance. In addition, its study of parent/child relationships is touching and attentive. Sure, Dreamworks is still trying to be a bit too hip, forcing time-sensitive one-liners and unneeded innuendos when simple and tight storytelling would suffice. Yet while it's far from groundbreaking or completely successful, it still manages to be much better than most of the wasted garbage that's been dumped on the theatres this year.

I'll be honest, I never watched the "Mr. Peabody & Sherman" cartoon growing up. I mean, I might have, but I don't remember. Anyway, I decided to watch the new movie not to long ago, since I love time travel stories. And... I'm very mixed about this movie. On one hand, I like what (I think) they did with Mr. Peabody. I get this vibe that Peabody being told he can't be a good father because he's a dog is a metaphor for LBGT people being told that they can't be good parents because they're gay. I don't know anyone raised by LBGT parents, but I'm not against it. Also, Peabody is a very interesting character. I like the jokes surrounding each era they travel to. And, Mel Brooks cameo, you can't go wrong with that. But on the other hand, I really really REALLY hate Penny. This b**** just p***** me off. She is just so mean to Sherman, that I wish she had her hand stabbed in Egypt. I hoped they would drop her off in the Jurassic era, I hate her that much. And my other problem is, why doesn't Peabody just home school Sherman? He's pretty much the smartest thing in the world, so why doesn't he just teach Sherman himself? Anyway, I'm very meh about this movie. There are a lot of things I liked, but there are just as many things that I hated. But I will give it this, it is one of the best movies based on a cartoon in recent history. If you like the original cartoon, then you might like this. If you're like me, then you can watch it once and call it good.
