Mr. Peabody & Sherman

If you can manage to hear much, or even think much, beyond the constant stream of awwwws elicited by Mr. Peabody (Ty Burrell) and his little oscillating tail, you'll see that this tale is meant to improve your child's mind by being informative and thoughtful and fun. It is all of these things and more. And, there is the tail.

A new take on the evergreen man and dog relationship. A memorable watch.

There are a lot of jokes and fun lines and some of them come from the most unexpected quarter at an unexpected time...The quality animation, the colors and little bit of slapstick humor will keep the kids entertained and they might even learn a thing or two about history. Mr.Peabody and Sherman is as good an outing for the family, as it gets.

If you follow The Big Bang Theory, you'll identify Mr Peabody with Sheldon Cooper...With its unconventional 'dog adopting a boy' story, sweet humour and cutesy characters, the film is likeable and manages to make you smile throughout. While it begins beautifully and has its unique novel moments, the second half is moderately funny and succumbs to predictability.

The film takes off on a promising premise, but eventually saddles on a disappointing plateau. But nevertheless, it is an uncomplicated film that would appeal to kids and adults alike. The film would strongly appeal to intelligent kids, their parents and dog lovers, who have a sense of humour.
