The film also has the original show's spirit and some of its old-fashioned charm.

In the film’s sharpest visual sequence, they land in ancient Egypt, with the filmmakers entertainingly cribbing from “Indiana Jones” and “The Wizard of Oz” to get them out of tight spots.

I don't get the hate for this film, it's really creative and underappreciated in my opinion.

Rich Storyline and a Great Update for This 60s Character I saw the trailers and I expected it to be more concentrated on time travel and not have much of a story line. Well there is. A fantastic one at that! "Mr. Peabody and Sherman" is a wonderful story about a dog who adopts a boy. The film also has lots of animated things to love - like history, comedy, romance, suspense and so much more. To make it even better – characters come to live thanks to the brilliant voice-over actors such as Ty Burrel and Max Charles. The film starts when a young puppy is growing up in different shelters. From a very early age he shows everyone how very special he is. He is intelligent, athletic and smooth. He wins many prizes, but his greatest adventure happens when he adopts a boy. Together they go through multiple adventures and troubles but able to stay together. I love so much about this film. The film itself is fantastic! I love how they take twenty five-minute shows that had old, colored 2-D animation and turn it into modern 3D animation with the use of modern technology. My favorite scene is when they show the story of how Mr. Peabody adopts Sherman. They show points throughout Sherman's little life of great moments, like his first step in 1709. Then it shows how he finds Sherman. That is definitely a sweet and loving part!

Mr. Peabody & Sherman is slight, but it’s exceedingly charming, making good use of a talented voice cast.

The animation style mirrors the original, which is simple in an appealing way. It is particularly effective in the action sequences, which make the most of animation's ability to create a playful reality. But the multi-layered historical references designed to be adroitly wry are a trickier gambit.

The narrative’s time-travel element allows for plenty of fluffy, fleet-footed action.

Rob Minkoff’s film has the generic feel of a kids’ movie that’s trying to please everyone. It’s not horrible. In fact, it’s agreeable enough. But nothing more.

By visual standards alone, the characters, rendered in eye-popping 3-D, resemble nothing so much as Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade floats. They’re just as lifeless and inexpressive, too.

One of the life changing movie I've watched. Loved every element of it. A must-see.

A passable animation. Not great but a fun watch. I briefly remember watching the cartoon segments growing up. I don't remember any of the details so I can't say how faithful it was to the original segments. Worth at least a watch.

Mr. Peabody and Sherman does its best to work as a film. There is a clear passion behind the film as the writers struggle to make this 5-10 minute cartoon work as an 1 hour and 20 minute film. The solution was to make a mildly entertaining time travel movie similar to Back to the Future Part II full of lots of running around and crazy time travel antics that stays as true as it can to the classic cartoon. Thankfully Dreamworks doesn’t throw in their usual trade of pop culture references and the characters are at their core the characters from the film. Unfortunately, the writer’s solution to stretch the short cartoon into a feature length film that is nothing special. The story while told nicely is quite familiar with a lot of the heartfelt moments while touching cause films like Finding Nemo to come to mind, the new character Penny isn’t interesting being there to give the film somewhere to go, and the film at times, similar to Back to the Future Part II, is so caught up in the running around that it doesn’t take enough time to slow down and have heartfelt moments and the emotion core of the story pops in and out frequently taking a back seat to the action. Despite the comments I don’t hate the movie in fact I thought it was going to be atrocious and destroy a classic cartoon characters. To my surprise the film is charming with its energy, humor, and good animation. There is clear passion behind the film but this duo works better in short cartoons. Children will enjoy and it could serve as an introduction to the superior cartoon it is based off of, which parents if they haven’t seen it please show it to them. I’d probably be more annoyed if I was more attached to the original cartoon but on its own its fine the bummer just comes from knowing that the cartoon is 10x better. Nonetheless, when I look at the pop culture referencing, constantly puns, and pop songs that have dominated a lot of Dreamworks films lately its nice to have something that can make me smile every now and then. Nonetheless, Dreamworks can make great films and this film while entertaining isn’t great but hopefully How to Train Your Dragon 2 will give Dreamworks the hit they’ve been lacking for years.

Ok, So a lot of critics say that this movie is like Jimmy Neutron. I Guess they are wrong.. Because in Jimmy Neutron, I think he did not created a time machine, and I there is not a talking dog with glasses. I Think this is a OK movie.

É incrível a oscilação de qualidade das animações da DreamWorks. Ao mesmo tempo que ela lança animações excelentes como Rise of The Guardians (A Origem dos Guardiões) e How to Train Your Dragon 2 (Como Treinar o Seu Dragão 2) ela lança animações fraquíssimas como: Turbo e agora Mr. Peabody & Sherman (As Aventuras de Peabody & Sherman). A tempos não ficava tão entediado com uma animação. Com mais momentos de ação e menos comédia, o filme parece que ficou bem mais focado no público infantil. A animação não é das mais bonitas do estúdio, e a única coisa que salva são as referências históricas do filme. No mais, o filme pode até agradas as crianças, mas se torna realmente entediante para os adultos. Eu não recomendo!
