…a Bill and Ted-style romp through the history books, with enough references to stop adults getting bored and plenty of slapstick for kids….

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 21, 2024

Loaded with references from literature, history and popular culture. I can't imagine a Minion punning, "Marie Antoinette could have kept her head if she had issued an edict to distribute bread to the poor. But you can't have your cake and edict too."

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 1, 2021

The film boasts a high joke hit rate, unafraid to throw in pre-schooler friendly posterior humour alongside an endless array of puns.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 4, 2021

A formulaic yet fun adventure.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 17, 2020

It's the very funny script that makes this film work

Not a mis-step to be found, Mr. Peabody & Sherman is perfection, destined to be the Best Animated Feature of the Year! You'll be begging for more!

| Jan 8, 2020

The animation looks dated, but the voice actors do a great job.

Trying to appeal to both kids and adults is not an easy feat, one side usually benefits more than the other, and in this case, it's the over 30 crowd that wins.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 11, 2018

With all the playful sci-fi side-dishing of shenanigans concerning an articulate dog's overall propensity for universal greatness, Mr. Peabody & Sherman is a dizzy and delightful gem that allows maturing audiences to soundly recall their childish days

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 11, 2018

It's got a good heart, a great cast, and throws in some history lessons to sweeten the deal.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 1, 2018

It balances the adventure and humor, and is still able to infuse a lesson to kids to be proud of who they are no matter what they are and other typical cliches.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 14, 2018

Lacks the post-modern touches of Pixar and The Lego Movie, and that's the big problem with this time-travelling romp - it already feels dated.

| May 14, 2018

This was a movie that had a lot of heart to it and had a lot of thought to it, it just happened to be a movie about talking dogs.

| Mar 5, 2018

At heart, the film looks at history with a bout of fun.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 15, 2017

The 3D animation from Dreamworks is excellent, the voice cast led by Ty Burrell is spot-on, but it's the clever gags that make this silliness a hoot.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 30, 2017

Parents will smirk at the cameos from King Tut, Agamemnon and Marie Antoinette, while kids will be kept spellbound and accidentally learn a few useful facts too.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 27, 2017

Mr. Peabody and Sherman may feel like it's ticking the curriculum boxes at times, but you've got to admire it for trying to be educational as well as entertaining.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 8, 2017

Like The Lego Movie, Mr. Peabody and Sherman is a story about learning to be your best self, and it's nearly as sharp and just as funny.

| Mar 10, 2017

Throughout, the film remains one spunky wall-to-wall action film with several one-liners and lots of attitude.

| Original Score: B | Jun 21, 2016

Mr. Peabody & Sherman is a well-made film that carries a broad appeal.
