The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show

From an iCON to a barely decent movie to THESE!!

This show should not have been made.

What can be learned? Don't reinvent the wheel

Verdict: Pea brain show.

The 2014 film "Mr. Peabody & Sherman" is without a doubt, one of the best DreamWorks films of all time along with Captain Underpants, Trolls, and the How To Train Your Dragon franchise. Not only that, but also one of my favorite animated movies of all time. The Netflix series, "The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show" is...let me cut to the chase real quick. The style of this show is so freaking great to look at, it really reminds me of the similar art style of classic Cartoon Network shows like Samurai Jack. The humor is beyond wacky and fun and the animation is really good, yet some of the humor and writting is a bit too much and a bit obnoxious. Some of the writing of the show is also unique and the characters like Mr. Peabody and Sherman are really good, sometimes they act sort of unusual. It's a shame that Penny Peterson (from the movie) didn't make an appearance in the show, but I digress. (Seriously, Penny Peterson is obviously one of my favorite characters. She's cute, she's voiced by Ariel Winter who played Alex Dunphy from Modern Family and she reminds me of Cindy Vortex from Jimmy Neutron.) This Netflix cartoon sort of work for, thought the some of the jokes felt a bit dull and the way the characters act sometimes. It's not my favorite but I'm giving this a 6.5/10

I used to watch Mr Peabody and Sherman on the old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon on some VHS tapes. This show is a mockery and doesn't reflect anything other than a group of "artists" pushing out sub-par quality cartoons to meet their deadline.

They have characters singing out of context, bounce back and forth between topics and the show is rather difficult to follow.

Another problem in comparison to keeping an education cartoon are the side show characters who have nothing more to contribute than ridiculous skit.

They switch between singing, conversation, side shows and have no continuity, consider this show a bust!

They should pull the show, they've just ruined P&S for a whole new generation.

Blah blah blah she show is weird and ruined the Peabody franchise or whatever, ya'll genuinely won't even mention the effort and love put into this show because you're too busy complaining about the jokes or sumthin. HELLO?? ART DIRECTION GOES CRAZY?? AND THE MUSIC GUEST'S SONGS??? This show is for kids and it's going to have some dumb stuff every now and then, and may not even be educational whatsoever. BUT, listen to me, give the writers/animators some credit for putting so much hard work into this show, like it might not be comparable to some other great shows out there but it's the pure raw passion they had that made the show what it is now. It might not be jaw dropping or mind blowing to anyone who watches it, just spare some of your time, you might enjoy it and you might not.

A few years earlier, the film Mr. Peabody and Sherman was released in theaters. Like all films based on segments of the 1960s Rocky and Bullwinkle show, the film flopped at the box office, even though its revenue was greater than its budget. Nevertheless, the film's positive reception was enough to inspire the creation of this TV show.

Unlike the film which uses 3D cgi, the TV show uses 2G cgi. But that's okay. Sherman here sounds younger than his 1960s counterpart but it still fits the character. There's also a bit of quirkiness on how some of the characters act but that's common to animated shows with classic cartoonish nature. When animated cartoons first hit the screen decades ago, they were originally adaptations of comic characters.
