Mr. Peabody & Sherman
Stars: Ty Burrell, Max Charles, Stephen Colbert, Leslie Mann
Mr. Peabody is a dog. A very smart dog. Sherman is the little boy he adopts. Yes, you read that right, a canine adopts a kid. Did you miss the part about Mr. Peabody being brilliant? Well, he is not only a dog-father and erudite man-about-town, he’s also the inventor of the WABAC machine, which he and Sherman use to travel to the past. Father and son have a blast meeting historic figures like Marie Antoinette, George Washington and King Tut, until a misstep causes a time glitch that must be corrected in order to save the future. –p.d. lee
