Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2014)


Twentieth Century Fox
Directed by Rob Minkoff
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Fox)

Sherman gets into a fight with a girl on his first day of school and is accused of biting her. His guardian dog Mr. Peabody invites the girl and her parents to their home in hopes of reconciling and avoiding child protection services. The girl convinces Sherman to show her their time machine, and they have several adventures. Peabody has to save them from ancient Egypt, but they have trouble getting back to the present. Peabody is assumed killed in ancient Egypt saving them again, but Sherman and the girl use the time machine to save him. In the process, the open a rift in time that threatens to destroy everything. Pleasantly diverting animated entertainment aimed at kids but with enough references to keep adults interested as well, just like the old Rocky & Bullwinkle Show on which these characters originated.
