Mr. Peabody and Sherman 1-Disc Box Set DVD

Mr. Peabody and Sherman is an animated feature in which a brilliant talking dog and his adopted son use a homemade time machine to careen through famous chapters of world history, getting tangled up in the events along the way. The tone keeps things brisk and warm, balancing fast-paced gags with a tender father-son thread that gives the chases their emotional anchor. Watching it feels like flipping through a heavily illustrated history primer that has been jolted awake and given a sense of humor.
