I guess I'm just a fan of the concept of a dog adopting a boy. I was a fan of Mr. Peabody & Sherman shorts on Rocky & Bullwinkle they were the best ones in my opinion and now they are still amusing to watch. Either that or I'm just trying not to over analyze a kids movie.

Ty Burrell does a good job at trying to capture the original voice which I can admit at first it is too much then you get over it by the middle of the movie. You have to remember it is the modern version. I enjoyed the movie I just did not get the addition of the fifth wheel which was Penny in this movie. I felt like part of the story line could of fit in a sequel, but should not have been in the first movie. They could of had the first movie about who Mr. Peabody & Sherman is, then they could have a sequel where Sherman is teased and ends up going against the grain and turning into a bad boy.

Still nonetheless this will have to go in the book as the best Rocky & Bullwinkle (spinoff??) movie thus far. I don't think any of the Rocky & Bullwinkle movies did them any justice. Making the animated characters meet with the real world was something only Roger Rabbit could accomplish and it did not seem right for Rocky & Bullwinkle. Mr. Peabody & Sherman stayed in it's lane and gave us the full story plus another entertaining one.

I enjoyed the movie and that is all that matters.
