As Sam Tayor once remarked . . .

. . . Apples, apples everywhere, and not a drop (of cider) to drink." Mr. Peabody runs into a similar thirsty dilemma with SIR ISAAC NEWTON in this entry of his improbable history series. During this film, young impressionable viewers learn that red delicious can fly, IF they're full of enough buzzing insects. They also discover that if you toss a banana into the air on an urban sidewalk, a Capuchin is sure to intercept it. If Mr. Peabody was as intelligent as he seems to think that he is, he'd suggest that Sir Isaac try a coconut instead of an apple or banana. Coconuts are much more likely to obey the Laws of Gravity than lesser weight fruits.

Goofs
Isaac Newton is referred to as "Sir Isaac Newton" throughout, but the short takes place in 1686, and Newton was not knighted until 1705. The apple incident is probably apocryphal as well.
