Mr Peabody & Sherman (2014) 9/10

Starring : Ty Burrell, Max Charles, Ariel Winter, Stephen Colbert, Leslie Mann
Director : Ron Minkoff
Running Time : 93 mins

Super intelligent dog Mr Peabody (Burrell) won the right to adopt a human boy, Sherman (Charles), and together they travel through time with the aid of a machine called The Way Back to learn more about their world, but when school bully Penny Peterson (Winter) hijacks the time machine they find themselves having to prevent the very destruction of reality itself.

This is a fun and, surprisingly, educational movie that manages to mix humour and action with expert ease. It’s nice to see a remake that is so well done and actually pretty decent, plus the amount of puns were so groan worthy that you couldn’t help but laugh. Granted, Sherman did say he didn’t get it a few too many times for an apparent genius, and the relationship between Sherman and Penny moved far to unrealistically unless you look at it as a friendship based on what Sherman could get for Penny, but all in all this is a very entertaining kids film with enough to keep adults amused as well.
