Have you watched this film?
What are your thoughts?
Mr. Peabody is a gifted anthropomorphic dog who lives in a penthouse in New York City with his adopted human son, 7-year-old Sherman, and tutors him by traveling throughout history using the WABAC. They visit Marie Antoinette in Versailles during the French Revolution in 1789. Getting caught in the Reign of Terror, Peabody is nearly sent to the guillotine to be executed by Maximilien Robespierre, but escapes with Sherman through the Paris sewers.

In the present day, Sherman attends the Susan B. Anthony School on his first day, while Peabody struggles to come to terms with Sherman's growing maturity as he fears of losing his bond with him. Sherman's knowledge of the apocryphal nature of the George Washington cherry-tree anecdote leads to a fight with one of his classmates, a bossy girl named Penny Peterson, in the cafeteria where she puts him in a chokehold, accusing him of being a dog since he was raised by Peabody. Peabody is called in by Principal Purdy as Sherman had bitten Penny in self-defense, and also confronted by Ms. Grunion, a Child Protective Services agent, who suspects that Sherman's behavior is due to being raised by a dog and plans to visit to their home to investigate whether or not he is an unfit parent.

Charming film. They did a pretty good job catching the spirit of the characters, even though it didn't hit the same educational notes as the original cartoon.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
