It was an OK animated feature - but, seriously, don't take this as a history lesson because, well, it's entertainment.

It's not Pixar, but if you need a standby family film, it will hold over well enough.

This movie was like meet the robinsons. Mr. Peabody is a most intelligent dog and Sherman is his young adopted charge.

Some clever jokes still remain when used in historical reference. This inconsistency caused my enjoyment with the film to stop and start again, with frequency. 'Mr. Peabody & Sherman' is perfectly serviceable and appealing to all ages. It sits right on the very edge of a full recommendation.
