Mr. Peabody & Sherman [Blu-ray]

The whole family really enjoyed this movie, very well written.

Awesome movie for kids..

The kids and I also love this movie! We have been to the movies several times and now we can rent with Amazon!! Love it!!

If you're a CC mom, this has so much of the cycles material in it. Great one to pair with studies.

This was our sons favorite movie for so long! We had it on repeat in our house. We never felt like this movie was overplayed because it really is just a good, cute, kids movie that we all enjoyed to watch and listen too.

Very hard to hear.

I love this movie soo much also, it has so many historical events in it. Loved it !!

MR. PEABODY & SHERMAN is a delightful family film with a great message that will appeal to children and their parents. Based on a segment from 1960's cartoon "Rocky and Friends," it tells the story of an extraordinarily smart dog named Mr. Peabody who adopted a boy named Sherman. Aside from being awesome, Mr. Peabody has also invented a time machine which he calls the WABAC (pronounced way-back). Of course, once Sherman finally goes to school (and full of knowledge from all of the first-hand history lessons courtesy of the WABAC) he encounters a bit of trouble, particularly with a mean girl named Penny. Hoping to smooth things over with her parents, he invites Penny and her family over for dinner and that's when the movie really takes off, as Sherman and Penny go on an adventure that has the potential to alter the space-time continuum.The first thing I'll say about this film is that it is very funny. Kids won't get all of the jokes and references, but there is enough humor for the younger people in the audience as well some puns and history-related references that the older people will get. The animation and character design was also very good, and I thought the filmmakers did a fine job in realizing the different time periods that are visited during the film. Complementing it very nicely was a good score by Danny Elfman, although I didn't realize it was him until the closing credits. But most of all, the film has a couple of important messages about family and growing up. As Mr. Peabody is a dog who has adopted a human, it wouldn't take much reaching to draw parallels with recent efforts to redefine what a family can be, be it one with a single parent or one with same-sex parents. Social definitions change, and I thought that the film addressed this in a rather sweet, yet oblique enough, way.There is also the central relationship of Mr. Peabody with Sherman. Despite being a dog, he's not unlike most parents that have reservations about letting their child (or children) go and experience the world for themselves. The way in which Mr. Peabody comes to realize this is a bit convoluted and long-winded, but the end result is rather touching. My only real complaint with the film is one that I have with a lot of films, and that is the third act gets a little too crazy, even for a story involving time travel, yet gets resolved rather neatly. Of course, if characters in movies were half as smart as the audience, then maybe there wouldn't be as much of a story. Still, I enjoyed this very much for its humor and message. It's a great family film that kids and adults can enjoy together.

I was really looking forward to watching this film but when I got round to it my dvd player wouldn't play it. I don't know whether this is down to it being a different region or not a good disc. If the film played on my dvd player it would have got 5 stars.

Funny educational film. Brilliant

Really lovely story for young children up to 6/7 years old. My 4 year old son loved it.

Even though im not familiar with the cartoon series its based on it was an easy film to get into and enjoy. I even learned an answer to a quiz question thanks to this film! Fun and entertaining even my three year old understood it and enjoyed even though some things were aimed at older children.

I enjoyed every minute of it I would recommend it
