When Sherman accidentally rips a hole by taking the WABAC without permission to impress Penny Peterson (Winter), they must find themselves to repair history and save the future.

The film was originally planned as a live-action/CG film until it was redeveloped into a fully computer-animated film in 2006 when Minkoff joined DreamWorks Animation to direct an adaptation. Andrew Kurtzman was set to write the screenplay, based on the pitch, developed by Minkoff with his longtime producing partner Jason Clark. It is the first DreamWorks animated feature to feature characters from theClassic Medialibrary since its acquisition by DreamWorks Animation in 2012,[7]the first animated adaptation of a Jay Ward property, and Minkoff's first animated film after having co-directedThe Lion King(1994) forWalt Disney Animation Studiosin 25 years, his first directing a CGi animated film, and his first fully animated film as a solo director.

Mr. Peabody & Shermanpremiered on February 7, 2014 in the United Kingdom[2]and was released theatrically a month later in the United States.[3]It received positive reviews from critics, who praised the voice acting and characters, though some criticized the plot and its use of the source material. The film was abox office flop,grossing $275 million worldwide against a budget of $145 million, and lost the studio $57 million. A TV series based on the film, titledThe Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show,premiered onNetflixon October 9, 2015, withChris Parnellreplacing Burrell as Mr. Peabody while Charles reprises his role as Sherman.

Plot[edit]

Mr. Peabody is a highly intelligentanthropomorphicdog who lives in aNew York Citypenthousewith his adopted human son, Sherman. Peabody teaches Sherman about history by using a time machine known as theWABACto travel to the past. After narrowly escaping theFrench Revolution,and on his first day of school, Sherman's knowledge of the apocryphal nature of theGeorge Washington cherry tree anecdoteleads to an altercation with one of his classmates, Penny Peterson, who calls him a dog and puts him in a chokehold. After Sherman bites Penny in self-defense, Peabody is called in for a meeting with Principal Purdy and Ms. Grunion, achild protective servicesagent. Grunion suspects Peabody of being an unfit parent and plans to visit their home to investigate.

The following evening, Peabody invites the Petersons over for a dinner party to make amends. Against Peabody's orders, Sherman shows Penny the WABAC and takes her into the past, where she stays inAncient Egyptto marryKing Tut.Sherman returns to the present to get Peabody's help. Penny initially refuses to leave until she learns that she will be entombed with Tut when he dies. While trying to return to the present, the WABAC runs out of power, forcing the trio to stop at the home ofLeonardo da VinciinRenaissance Florence.Penny goads Sherman into piloting da Vinci's flying machine, and they crash. After they resume their journey, Sherman learns of Ms. Grunion's intentions and argues with Peabody. After they crash-land in the middle of theTrojan War,Sherman runs away and joins KingAgamemnon's army. During the battle, Penny and Sherman are trapped inside theTrojan Horseas it rolls towards a ravine. Peabody saves them, but seemingly dies in doing so.

Sherman and Penny travel back to before they left in the present, despite Peabody's warnings to never return to a time in which they existed. As they explain the situation to Peabody, Sherman's earlier self shows up. When Grunion arrives, Peabody tries to conceal the presence of two Shermans until the second Peabody arrives back from Troy, having survived the crash. Grunion attempts to collect both Shermans, but they and the Peabodys merge, generating a huge cosmic shockwave. When Grunion persists in trying to take Sherman away, Peabody bites her in a fit of rage and desperation, and she calls theNew York Police Department.

Peabody, Penny, and Sherman race to the WABAC, but cannot time-travel due to a rip in the space-time continuum caused by the merging of their cosmic doubles. A portal appears above New York and historical objects and figures rain down upon the city. The WABAC crash-lands inGrand Army Plazawhere historical figures and police converge. Grunion calls in animal control to arrest Peabody, but Sherman and all others come to Peabody's defense, andGeorge Washingtonpardons him. As the rip worsens, Peabody and Sherman take off in the WABAC and travel into the future for a few minutes, undoing the damage. The historical figures are dragged back to their respective eras and Agamemnon takes Grunion with him. Sherman returns to school, having become friends with Penny and deepened his bond with Peabody. Meanwhile, any characters from past saved some souvenirs from the future and Odysseus pronounces Grunion and Agamemnon "husband and wife" in the Trojan Horse.

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

DirectorRob Minkoffat the2014 Annie Awards

Plans for a film starringMister Peabody and Shermanhad existed for several years with directorRob Minkoff.His first attempt to make a feature film goes to 2003, when it was reported that Minkoff's Sony-based production company Sprocketdyne Entertainment andBullwinkle Studioswould produce a live-action/CG film, with a possibility of Minkoff to direct it.[28]

The live-action film was not realized, but in 2006, Minkoff joinedDreamWorks Animationto direct a computer-animated film adaptation. Andrew Kurtzman was set to write the screenplay, based on the pitch, developed by Minkoff with his longtime producing partner Jason Clark.[29]The final screenplay was written by Craig Wright, with revisions byRobert Ben GarantandThomas Lennon.

Tiffany Ward, daughter ofJay Ward,one of the creators of the original series, served as an executive producer,[6]whose job was to make sure the film stayed "true to the integrity of the characters." When she was approached by Minkoff ten years before the film's release, she was enthused by his intention to respect the legacy: "What better caretaker for the characters could we ask for than Rob."[30]The process to make the adaptation "perfect" took them a long time, but she was pleased with the end result, which stayed "very true to the original cartoon."[30]

Casting[edit]

In early 2011,Robert Downey Jr.signed on to voice Mr. Peabody,[31]but in March 2012, he was replaced byTy Burrell.[8]Reportedly, Downey's commitments toThe Avengersand other franchises did not allow him to find the time to record his lines.[32]Initially, Tiffany Ward and others at the studio opposed Burrell, who was then relatively unknown, but he managed to convince them with a successful audition.[32]Ward insisted on someone who sounds like Mr. Peabody did in the original series, while Minkoff saw the casting as an opportunity "to modernize the character."[32]He promised her that Burrell would try to "get there and he started watching the show to nail the cadence. He got the underlying connection and he made it his own."[32]

Max Charles,the actor who played youngPeter ParkerinThe Amazing Spider-Man,voiced Sherman.[8]Stephen Colbertvoiced Paul Peterson,Leslie Mann,who replacedEllie Kemper,voiced Peterson's wife, Patty,[12]andAriel Wintervoiced their daughter Penny. Other voices includeStephen Tobolowsky,Allison Janney,Mel Brooks,Stanley Tucci,Patrick Warburton,Lake Bell,Zach Callison,Karan Brar,andDennis Haysbert.[11]According to Minkoff, Burrell was chosen because his voice "embodied all the different aspects of the character today. Not just the intellect and the suave personality, but the underlying warmth as well."[30]

Release[edit]

Mr. Peabody & Shermanwent through several release date changes. Originally scheduled for March 21, 2014 and March 14, 2014,[33][34]DreamWorks Animation's high expectations moved the film to November 8, 2013 (which was moved up to November 1, 2013), replacing another DreamWorks Animation film,Me and My Shadow.[11][35]The last shift happened in February 2013, which pushed the film back to March 7, 2014, reportedly due to a "more advantageous release window", again replacingMe and My Shadow.[3]The film premiered a month earlier in the United Kingdom, on February 7, 2014.[36]

The film was planned[37]to be theatrically[38]accompanied with a DreamWorks Animation short film,Rocky & Bullwinkle,[39]based on the Rocky and Bullwinkle characters fromThe Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.The short was directed byGary Trousdale,who is known for co-directing Disney'sBeauty and the Beast,produced by Nolan Cascino, and written byThomas LennonandRobert Garant.[39]June Foraywas set to reprise her role as Rocket "Rocky" J. Squirrel,[39]whileTom Kennywas set to voice Bullwinkle Moose.[40]The short would have served as a test for a possible feature film based on the characters.[41]Almost Home,a short based on the DreamWorks Animation filmHome,played before the film instead.[42]However, the new CGIRocky & Bullwinkleshort was instead released on theBlu-ray 3Drelease of the film.[43]

Mr. Peabody & Shermanhas an approval rating of 81% based on 138 professional reviews on thereview aggregatorwebsiteRotten Tomatoes,with an average rating of 6.7/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Mr. Peabody & Shermanoffers a surprisingly entertaining burst of colorful all-ages fun, despite its dated source material and rather convoluted plot. "[53]Metacritic(which uses a weighted average) assignedMr. Peabody & Shermana score of 59 out of 100 based on 34 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[54]Audiences polled byCinemaScoregave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale.[55]

Peter BradshawofThe Guardiansaid: "(The film) takes a little while for the audience to get up to speed, but once this is achieved, there's an awful lot of unexpected fun to be had,"[56]whileMark Kermodeof the sister paperThe Observerdeclared, "Pleasant to report, then, that DreamWorks' latest offers a fairly consistent stream of sight gags and vocal slapstick, even as the plot veers wildly down a wormhole in the time-space continuum."[57]Kevin McFarland ofThe A.V. Clubgave the film a C+, saying, "Unlike the whimsical, slapstick-driven shorts on which it's based, this feature-length adaptation adds an obligatory emotional arc that feels at odds with the zany spirit of historical time-travel tales."[58]A. O. ScottofThe New York Timesgave the film a positive review, saying, "This DreamWorks Animation production, directed by Rob Minkoff (Stuart Little,The Lion King) from a screenplay by Craig Wright, is not perfect, but it is fast-moving, intermittently witty and pretty good fun. "[59]Richard Roeperof theChicago Sun-Timesgave the film a B, saying, "Mr. Peabody & Shermanis a whip-smart, consistently funny and good-natured film with some terrific voice performances and one of the most hilarious appearances ever by an animated version of a living human being. "[60]Claudia Puig ofUSA Todaygave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying, "Mr. Peabody & Shermanis lively, educational and intermittently amusing. The fun, however, grows strained and formulaic as the movie goes on. "[61]Michael Phillips of theChicago Tribunegave the film two out of four stars, saying, "The film's animation design is strictly generic in its rounded edges and dutiful 3-D IN YOUR FACE!!! gimmicks. And the story gets off to such a sour start, it takes a long time for the comedy to recover."[21]

Bill Goodykoontz ofThe Arizona Republicgave the film two and a half stars out of five, saying, "It retains the main characters, the WABAC machine, the trips through history – but not the sense of nuttiness that made the TV cartoon so delightful."[62]Colin Covert of theStar Tribunegave the film three out of four stars, saying, "What a relief to see that whileMr. Peabody's visuals are enhanced to sleek 21st-century standards, the essential charm of the series survives more or less intact. "[63]Elizabeth Weitzman ofNew York Daily Newsgave the film three out of four stars, saying, "Burrell doesn't quite capture the wry deadpan of the original, but then, neither does the movie. That's okay."[64]Bruce Demara of theToronto Stargave the film three out of four stars, saying, "Kids of all ages are sure to enjoy this visually splendid, fast-paced blast through the past."[65]Betsy Sharkey of theLos Angeles Timesgave the film a negative review, saying, "For all the ways the film reflects its earlier TV incarnation, the shadings have been softened.Mr. Peabodycould use a bit more bite. "[66]Soren Anderson ofThe Seattle Timesgave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying, "Frantically paced by director Rob Minkoff (The Lion King) and making very effective use of 3D – Hey! Get that sword out of my face! – the movie will surely appeal to kids. "[67]Rafer Guzman ofNewsdaygave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying, "The movie has trouble stitching together disjointed episodes into a coherent narrative. Thanks to a strong voice cast, however, the characters retain their charm throughout."[68]

Leslie Felperin ofThe Hollywood Reportergave the film a positive review, saying, "The film's saving grace is its character design and use of 3D techniques to speed things up in every sense when the plot starts to flag."[69]Liam Lacey ofThe Globe and Mailgave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying, "Mr. Peabodyis fast-paced and jammed with rib-poking historical references, but it couldn't be called witty, even on the broadly winking level of the original cartoon. "[70]Stephen Whitty of theNewark Star-Ledgergave the film three out of four stars, saying, "Fifty years ago, animated entertainment was a lot quieter. But that was myMr. Peabody & Sherman.This is someone else's. And it should give them, and even a few open-minded parents, almost just as much giggly fun. "[71]Owen GleibermanofEntertainment Weeklygave the film a B, saying, "Mr. Peabody & Shermanhas a zesty time mixing and matching historical figures, from Marie Antoinette to George Washington. Yet the movie never, to my mind, conjured quite the quirky effervescence of such brainiac animated features as theJimmy NeutronorSpongeBob SquarePantsmovies. "[72]Michael O'Sullivan ofThe Washington Postgave the film one out of four stars, saying, "By visual standards alone, the characters, rendered in eye-popping 3-D, resemble nothing so much asMacy's Thanksgiving Day Paradefloats. They're just as lifeless and inexpressive, too. "[73]Sean Daly of theTampa Bay Timesgave the film a B, saying, "Before getting sucked into a what-the-wormhole ending that will scramble young brains, time-travel rompMr. Peabody & Shermanis a fast, fun 3-D getaway. "[74]

Tom Huddleston ofTime Outgave the film two out of five stars, saying, "This feature-lengthMr Peabody & Shermanis by no means unbearable: there are a few decent gags, and the episodic plot just about manages to hold the interest. But there's little here for any but the most easy-to-please youngsters. "[75]Eric Henderson ofSlant Magazinegave the film one and a half stars out of four, saying, "The film spent roughly a dozen years in development, and the moronic, corporate detritus from that long time warp is strewn about like so many improbable history lessons."[76]Steven Rea ofThe Philadelphia Inquirergave the film three out of four stars, saying, "Mr. Peabody & Shermanhas a cool, midcentury-modern look (dog and boy live in a populuxe Manhattan penthouse) and a voice cast that may not be A-list but fits the bill nicely. "[77]David Gritten ofThe Daily Telegraphgave the film four out of five stars, saying, "It's sweet-natured and amusing, with a story to captivate kids; yet the script has enough witty touches to keep adults laughing too."[78]Perry Seibert, writing forAllMovie,gave the movie two stars out of five, calling the movie "long, loud, and visually exhausting" and saying that it "feels less like an attempt to update aboomerclassic formillennialsthan a prime example of how lazy marketing guys hold sway over what movies get made.
