Mr. Peabody and Sherman





    What is Mr. Peabody and Sherman? I will be honest with you all. Before this movie came out I had never even heard of Mr. Peabody. Which now, I think it is quite sad that I hadn't. The show, Mr. Peabody and Sherman, came out in the late 1950's and early 1960's television in the show Peabody's Improbable History, segments created by Ted Key, and was voiced by Bill Scott, while Sherman was voiced by Walter Tetley. It is about a beagle who is one of the most intelligent creatures on the planet. He had adopted a boy named Sherman because he realized he needed a family. The twist that made the episodes popular were that Mr. Peabody had created a time machine. In each episode, they would go on adventures to different times. These creative short episodes were funny, entertaining, and very educational. When I saw the commercial for the new adaptation of the original series that came out in March, I did get a little excited. It seemed child-like and cute. I was going to watch it even if it was childish. (I am just that kind of girl) But I was very wrong about this movie.
