MR PEABODY & SHERMAN

It’s said that every boy should have a dog - well, in the world of DreamWorks Animation, the opposite should also be true. Director Rob Minkoff (‘The Lion King’) has brought to the big screen the 1950s characters from ‘Rocky and his Friends’. 'Mr Peabody and Sherman' may not share the same level of dry wit and irony as the television version, but it’s got plenty of chutzpah where it counts, with plenty of entertainment for the kids and young at heart.

Mr Peabody (Ty Burrell) is not your typical dog - he's an inventor, scientist, business titan, gourmet chef and Olympic gold medalist. But all those achievements don’t necessarily add up to the important things in life, like a family - so Mr Peabody once again accomplishes the impossible and wins the right to adopt a human child, a boy by the name of Sherman. Peabody and Sherman (Max Charles) have amazing adventures traveling through time in the WABAC (pronounced Way-Back), meeting and befriending the greats throughout history. When Penny (Ariel Winter), a precocious mean girl at Sherman’s school starts some trouble, a peace-keeping dinner turns chaotic when the kids use the WABAC and venture to ancient Egypt, the Italian Renaissance and the eve of the Trojan war, inadvertently throwing themselves and the future into peril.
