Review of Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2014) by Sandutter — 24 Mar 2014

I usually like animated films - love the Pixar stuff for example - but this thing is just too boring. It's very shallow and (I hate to use the word) cliché. Yes, I know it's a kind of father-son relation problematics in the center of the story, and there is definitely nothing wrong with that, it's just so underdeveloped and unimaginative.

The animation is also very flat. The strong emotions in the story are not portrayed in a good way, and the characters are kind of stock-material on steroids: the ultra-evil Ms Grunion, the bullying Penny, the innocent nerd Sherman, the too-wellmeaning father and so on.

And it is not funny. It isn't. At all. Dont' see it. Dont' buy it. Support good animation from Pixar and Studio Ghibli instead.
