Sneak peek: 'Mr. Peabody & Sherman'
The time-traveling genius dog and his human son are 'timeless characters,' the film's director says.
They might have been absent for a few decades, but the time-traveling duo of Mr. Peabody & Sherman are back for their greatest adventure — big-screen domination.
DreamWorks Animation is reviving the tale of the genius dog known as Mr. Peabody and his adopted human son, Sherman, an animated staple from the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show in the late '50s and early '60s. It will be released in 3-D on March 7.
"These are timeless characters," says director Rob Minkoff, "The nature of this relationship and Mr. Peabody's classic character — that has never gone out of style."
Nor does time travel go out of vogue, even if the Peabody-invented WABAC (pronounced "way back") machine has been updated for the iPad generation. It still allows the duo to visit any time period for Sherman's ultimate history lessons.
