Mr. Peabody & Sherman is the story of an extremely intelligent dog
named, Mr. Peabody(Ty Burrell) & his adopted human son, Sherman(Max
Charles). Using a time traveling machine called, the WABAC, the duo
travel to the past to experience iconic historic moments & meet
historic people firsthand. However, after Sherman gets into trouble at
school due to Penny Peterson(Ariel Winter), Peabody decides to invite
Penny & her parents, Paul(Stephen Colbert) & Patty Peterson(Leslie
Mann) for dinner to resolve the issue. However, the intelligent dog's
plan horribly backfires when Sherman tells Penny about the WABAC & she
being the obnoxious & inquisitive girl that she is, decides to do some
time traveling of her own. Now, it's up to Mr. Peabody & Sherman to
save Penny & return the space-time continuum to normal before the
Petersons realize their daughter's missing.
I was laughing throughout the film & had a blast! I loved the fact that
Mr. Peabody, who is a dog, is way more clever than the humans he
interacts with. I loved the father-son relationship between Mr. Peabody
& his human kid, Sherman. Though this scenario could never happen in a
million years, the makers of the movie make their relationship
believable & emotional at the same time. Mr. Peabody gets pretty
emotional & sad seeing how fast Sherman is growing up. I loved the idea
of time travel in an animated film, which kind of makes it a sci-fi
film, as well! The voice acting is the highlight of the movie. Ty
Burrell, best known for portraying Phil Dunphy on the hit sitcom,
Modern Family, is equally hilarious, sarcastic, goofy & endearing as
Mr. Peabody. Max Charles is adorable as the innocent little kid,
Sherman. Ariel Winter, also known for playing Alex Dunphy on Modern
Family, is outstanding as the obnoxious & curious, Penny Peterson.
Allison Janney is spectacular as the main antagonist, Ms. Grunion.
Stephen Colbert is impressive as Paul Peterson. Leslie Mann is amazing
as Patty Peterson. The famous characters of historical importance are
brilliant as well. Special mention should be made of, Stanley Tucci,
Lake Bell & Patrick Warburton for their unforgettable voice overs of
Leonardo da Vinci, Mona Lisa & Agamemnon respectively. I would like to
sign off by saying, Mr. Peabody & Sherman is a must watch for everyone
who enjoys a darn good movie.
