  • Mario Alegre @ Primera Hora [Spanish]
  • Marina Antunes @ Row Three
  • José Arce @ LaButaca.net [Spanish]
    • Excerpt: Reactualización cinematográfica de un popular serial de los años 50 que se queda a medio camino de lo que pretende. Ni muy loca ni muy pedagógica, una aventura bien facturada que entretiene pero que resulta demasiado intrascendente en términos generales.
  • Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
    • Excerpt: As a lark for children that might give them some interest in the history of the world, “Mr. Peabody & Sherman” definitely does its job.
  • Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
    • Excerpt: Burrell and Max Charles set the tone with spot on vocal work, Burrell’s dry, studious delivery mixed with the joy of teaching and pleasurably groan-induci
  • Tony Dayoub @ Cinema Viewfinder
    • Excerpt: …amusing enough in the short term, but ultimately just another disposable, candy-colored crowd-pleaser.
  • Billy Donnelly @ This Is Infamous
  • Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
    • Excerpt: Wright introduces a central plot that steadily diminishes the promise of the more episodic narrative established in the beginning.
  • Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
    • Excerpt: Delightfully zany and surprisingly educational – for kids and their parents.
  • Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
    • Excerpt: In both spirit and style, the feature film Mr. Peabody & Sherman bears little resemblance to the 5 minute cartoons on which it’s based. DreamWorks Animation has kept the same basic set-up, but not the tone.
  • MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
    • Excerpt: Wonderfully, sweetly geeky, and full of charm, authentic humor, and the sort of goofy yet intriguing adventures that inspire kiddie curiosity in history and art and science.
  • Benjamin Kramer @ The Voracious Filmgoer
  • Ross Miller @ Thoughts On Film
    • Excerpt: Good-natured and visually appealing as it may be, this tale of a dog and his boy is merely a brightly coloured, thoroughly silly diversion for its target audience rather than anything that will truly stick in their hearts and minds.
  • Frank Ochieng @ Focus of New York Magazine
    • Excerpt: …[A] glossy and slick animated feature film. Joyously flippant and smartly conceived, Mr. Peabody & Sherman is a devilish kick-in-the-pants farce that maintains a nutty spirit to its family friendly flavoring.
  • Tom Santilli @ Examiner.com
    • Excerpt: Mr. Peabody & Sherman is already the best animated film of the year, a distinction that it may find hard to shed at year’s end even though 2014 is only just over two months old.
  • [New – 3/21/14] | Amir Siregar @ Flick Magazine [Indonesian]
  • Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
    • Excerpt: Despite some dead spots., a mostly delightful surprise…generally engaging and occasionally brilliant.
