Using his most ingenious invention, the WABAC machine, Mr. Peabody and his adopted boy Sherman hurtle back in time to experience world-changing events first-hand and interact with some of the greatest characters of all time.

Critics' reviews

"The narrative’s time-travel element allows for plenty of fluffy, fleet-footed action."

Guy Lodge: Variety
"A pleasant, polished, but somewhat by-the-numbers effort."

Leslie Felperin: The Hollywood Reporter
"More than anything Minkoff's project feels like a protracted episode of 'Jimmy Neutron'. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"

Michael Phillips: Chicago Tribune
"[The film] is not perfect, but it is fast-moving, intermittently witty and pretty good fun."

A. O. Scott: The New York Times
"Pedantic pooch pops off with some clever bon mots, but the movie is overall too predictable and forced. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"There’s a good-hearted father and son tale at the heart of the madness here, but the surroundings are sometimes a little too silly for true greatness. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"

Helen O'Hara: Empire
"It's a headspinningly wacky premise, and it takes a little while for the audience to get up to speed, but once this is achieved, there's an awful lot of unexpected fun to be had. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of foive)"

Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian
"It’s sweet-natured and amusing, with a story to captivate kids; yet the script has enough witty touches to keep adults laughing too. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"

David Gritten: Telegraph
