I saw "Mr. Peabody & Sherman", starring the voices of Ty Burrell-Modern Family_t.v., Dawn of the Dead_2004; Max Charles-The Neighbors_t.v., The Amazing Spider-Man_2012; Ariel Winter-Modern Family_t.v., Speed Racer_2008 and Allison Janney-Mom_t.v., The West Wing_t.v.
This is an animated movie that is based on a segment from an old t.v. show by Jay Ward called 'The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show'-1959 to 1964. The 5 minute segment was called 'Peabody's Improbable History' and it usually ended with Peabody saying a really bad-but funny-pun about their recent adventures. For those unfamiliar with the series, Peabody was a talking dog that was also a genius at almost everything. Ty does the voice for Peabody. Ty has a son named Sherman, voiced by Max-and yes, they show how they got together. Ty invented a WABAC-pronounced 'Way back'-machine that would travel through time. Ty would take Max on time trips and teach him history. Ariel plays a bullying classmate of Max that gets into lots of trouble and Allison plays a social worker that tries to prove that Ty is an unfit parent to Max. As I mentioned earlier, there are lots of puns and even though it appeals more to nostalgic people that watched the original t.v. shows, it is still funny for both adults and kids. It's rated "PG" for some mild action and a little rude humor and has a running time of 1 hour & 32 minutes. I enjoyed it and would buy it on DVD.
