Critics Consensus

Mr. Peabody & Sherman offers a surprisingly entertaining burst of colorful all-ages fun, despite its dated source material and rather convoluted plot.

David Stratton

At the Movies (Australia)

It's a pleasant, often amusing, family film with lots of kid-friendly jokes and puns but also plenty of references that will go over the heads of the smaller members of the audience.

Rated: 3.5/5

Evan Williams

The Australian

Everything moves at a brisk pace, the voice cast has plenty of talent, and there's no shortage of witty lines.

NOW Toronto

The father-son emotional arc is a clunky and strained framework to the zippy entertainment, but like historical accuracy, it's very easy to ignore.

Rated: 3/5

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

Rated: 3/5

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."

Rated: 4/5

The Post NZ

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

Rated: 4/5

I actually thought this was a very creative movie. First off, I thought the visuals were fantastic. The animation was on point and looked super real. I thought Mr. Peabody and Sherman were very enjoyable characters. The story was even pretty creative, and wasn't as simple as I'd expect for a kids movie. Very well done overall!

Wittier, funnier and more emotionally grounded than expected, Mr. Peabody & Sherman is one of the best surprises from early 2014. It moves fast, hits more consistently than The Lego Movie and offers a sharper story with stronger laughs. The time-travel mechanics are playful without being clunky, and the central relationship — a genius dog parenting an energetic child — is handled with surprising heart. The film’s rhythm, humor and sharp editing carry it far. It’s fun, it’s clever and it works.
