This is a sweet film and harkens back to the old school style of animation. It succeeds for this very reason- this is a fun film by Dreamworks which can be enjoyed by the entire family. The voice actors do a fine job and the fact that no one is a known face or voice only helps assist the movie. (Great animation movie for a family outing)

First part of the movie i would give 12 out of 10 points. Really fun adventure film, not only for kids. Since the dog hypnotized girls parents, i waited to see also how they arrive back, but what never happened. For me from this part when they left Mr. Peabody in old Creece, it went kind of messy, off-road rally (like lots of weird cartoons). From this part i would give 2 out of 10. So, median score i get than 7.

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.

This movie is about a dog, Mr. Peabody, and his boy, Sherman. Mr. Peabody adopted Sherman. Mr. Peabody is very smart and invited a time machine. Him and Sherman use this time machine, or "The Way Back," to visit the past and all the famous people of the past. Mr. Peabody and Sherman are friends with famous figures such as George Washington, Muhammad, Jackie Robinson, and many more. On Sherman's first day of school, his teacher asks a few questions about George Washington, Sherman answers all of them, causing a girl named Penny to become jealous. Penny says Sherman is a dog, so he bites her out of anger. Mr. Peabody invited there family over for dinner, Sherman showed her The Way Back. They left and went on an adventure and he left Penny. You'll have to watch it to know the rest. My opinion on this movie is that it is a well made, heart warming cartoon for all ages. The movie shows moral values such as loyalty, love, and friendship. Mr. Peabody is a loving dog and is loyal to Sherman and Penny. Sherman is young and clumsy, but loves Mr. Peabody. Penny is mischievous and curious of things she probably should leave alone.Mr. Peabody is a dog and is the most accomplished canine in the world. He adopted a boy named Sherman and when Sherman is old enough, Mr. Peabody brings Sherman back in time using a time machine called the Wabac to go on outrageous adventures. However, when Sherman takes the Wabac without permission to impress his friend Penny, he accidentally rips a hole in the universe and causes chaos with world history. It's up to Mr. Peabody to mount a rescue and prevent the past, present, and future from being permanently changed. The movie Mr. Peabody and Sherman was boring for the age 13+, but I would recommend for ages younger than that. It teaches about history so it is a good educational movie. The movie brings many different genres into it. Also the voice acting was very good. To make it more of good movie towards 13 year olds they need to add more action scenes. A
