00:00Ancient Egypt
00:02Dreamworks around the early 2010s really was just kind of an anomaly.
00:05Like they would release masterpiece after masterpiece that would redefine what animation could be,
00:09but at the same time they gave us Madagascar 3 and inevitably Alec Baldwin.
00:14You don't even have that goddamn phone turned on.
00:17But among all the films that ranged from Baby Slop to Flat Out Mid,
00:20as well as ones that bombed so hard they nearly destroyed the entire company,
00:23one stands above all.
00:24A film with such unique writing and humor compared to anything from Dreamworks at the time
00:28that lost the studio over 57 million dollars, putting Dreamworks one step closer to death's door,
00:33that of course being none other than Turbo.
00:37Mr. Peabody and Sherman.
00:39Yeah we're talking about da movie that goes a a a ancient Egypt.
00:43Because I genuinely believe that this is one of the best films Dreamworks has ever put out.
00:47Like I'll fully admit that I'm kind of a Turbo Glazer,
00:49but this film is genuinely one of the most batshit insane masterpieces I've ever had the pleasure of viewing.
00:54So with that being said, here's my deep dive into the fever dream that is Mr.
00:58Peabody and Sherman.
00:59Before we start though, I'd like to give a huge thanks to this video's sponsor, Factor.
01:02Factor is a prepared food service which every month will send you tons of fresh,
01:05never frozen meals straight to your door.
01:07All you gotta do is stick it in the microwave for two minutes and babadaboom.
01:10With over 35 different meals to choose from, that are applicable to pretty much any diet under the sun,
01:14stuff like keto, calorie smart, vegan, vegetarian, etc.
01:18You'll always be able to find something that suits your lifestyle.
01:20I personally struggle with finding anything even remotely healthy to eat,
01:23or anything that isn't just some cheap fast food or frozen garbage.
01:26I think my average glucose input resembles something like this, so Factor's kind of a godsend.
01:30And given how hectic the fall and holiday season can be,
01:32a lot of the people aren't really gonna have the time to plan out their meals correctly,
01:35or go to a grocery store finding dozens of ingredients to make a nice home cooked meal.
01:39I mean, if Aunt Gretchen is handling Thanksgiving this year,
01:41you're gonna be needing something else to eat.
01:43And heck, you can even increase or decrease your order size at any moment,
01:46so you can give the whole family some fresh prepared meals in under two minutes.
01:49Are you gonna eat that?

02:05Thanks again to Factor for sponsoring this video,
02:07and without any further ado, let's hop right back into Mr. P. Boo Boo.
02:10So our film starts proper with what else?
02:12A narration by the guy who voices the beluga whale in Finding Dory,
02:15who also voices this weird mutt.
02:17You were expecting downward dog, perhaps?
02:20Who goes by the name Mr. Peabody.
02:22And we get to see a narrated version of his upbringing,
02:24showing that nobody wanted to adopt him because he was a bleeding nerd just like you.
02:28And instead of going to a family, he dedicated himself to science and the betterment of mankind.
02:32Like for example, creating things like world peace,
02:34as well as whatever in God's holy kingdom is happening right here.
02:36Plus he invented things like the fist bump, planking, tear away pants, and...
02:39Zumba.
02:41But after all that, we get to finally meet Mr. Peabody's son,
02:44the one and only Sherman,
02:45who reminds Mr. Peabody about his greatest creation yet,
02:48something Mr. Peabody invented to teach Sherman about the wonders of the world,
02:51and the betterment of mankind.
02:53That of course being life-size hell of a boss Luna.
02:55Also this big time machine thingy called the Wayback.
02:58And as the two blast off into the distant past,
03:00we get our title card.
03:01Where are we going today, Mr. Peabody?
03:03Not where, Sherman.
03:04When?
03:05That shit went hard.
03:07But afterwards, we cut to the French Revolution of 1789,
03:10where our heroes find Hungry Fat Chick doing another mukbang,
03:13as the peasants outside starve to death.
03:15I'm exceedingly poor.
03:16EW!
03:17And outside, the French Revolution begins,
03:19and Mr. Peabody's trying to find Sherman as he wandered off like a shit head,
03:22and they all get rounded up by the French Revolutionists,
03:24leading to Mr. Peabody on a guillotine for his crimes,
03:27but he manages to do some Bill Nye science crap and makes his grand escape.
03:30It's so comically complicated, I love it so much.
03:33But eventually our boys are tracked into the sewers,
03:35and Mr. Peabody fences the guy who gets Tayslayer,
03:37completely embarrassing him in front of his own men,
03:39as Mr. Peabody runs circles around his candy ass.
03:42And then he breaks the sewer container, thinking it floods the pipes,
03:44making his and Sherman's escape.
03:45And he uses the methane gas, as well as sparks from the sewer cap they're riding on,
03:49to blow the goddamn kingdom ablaze.
03:51New end event going crazy though.
03:53And the two go home using the way back,
03:54while Mr. Peabody reminds Sherman that tomorrow is his first day of school.
03:57He gets a present day in the city of New York,
03:59where Sherman's white ass is getting dropped off at his rich fancy nerd school.
04:02And as Sherman's about to walk off, Peabody gives him a dog whistle,
04:05so that they can remember each other while he's at school, I guess.
04:08And when Sherman uses it, it results in Peabody getting the best head imaginable.
04:12And Sherman heads off to his new year of school,
04:14where he learns about Benjamin Frankelman.
04:16And Sherman's the first to answer because he's the nerd that I steal lunch money from,
04:19because he reminded the teacher she forgot to give out homework.
04:21And when she asked what kind of tree got chopped down by Boojum and Frugabooble,
04:24the one and only Penny answers from the back.
04:26Who, by the way, is voiced by the girl who played Sophia the first.
04:29Do with that information what you will.
04:31And while we're here, I might as well mention that Sherman here,
04:33yeah, he's played by the kid who played young Peter Parker in both TASM films.
04:36Now do with that information what you will.
04:38Leaked plot for Mr. Peabody 2,
04:40he was gonna find Peabody's gold doubloons in his calculator inside the railroad track.
04:45He's dead! Who are you?!
04:46But Sherman starts rambling about the lore of Skibbity Toilet or something,
04:49and Penny wants to quite literally snap Sherman in half.
04:51So when we cut to lunch and-
04:53As well, Sherman and the other two fat nerds are talking about Pibby or whatever,
04:56Penny returns with her Charlie Morningstar ass eyeliner,
04:59and questions Sherman why he's eating human food and accuses him of being a dog.
05:02Penny, you don't wanna know what Sherman's into, okay?
05:04And she whacks his tuna sandwich out of his hand and tells him to go fetch.
05:07And then when bro actually goes to do it, she takes his dog whistle,
05:10and tries to make him jump in the air for it,
05:12then puts this bitch in a headlock.
05:14Like, dear lord, what did he ever do to you?
05:16Sh-sh-she is a mess!
05:18And also like, where the hell are the teachers?
05:20I mean, when I was a kid you couldn't even say sh-f-booger balls in my pants remastered without getting in trouble.
05:24I mean, what the hell is going on here?
05:26But then they call Mr. Peabody into Principal Purdy's office,
05:29where Mr. Peabody's fully expecting it to be how Sherman's too smart for the general public to handle,
05:33and is in shock to learn that he got into a fight, and he bit Penny in the arm,
05:37resulting in her doing the funny little Megamind Spongebob face,
05:40giving us our entrance to the one and only Miss Grunion,
05:43voiced by the lady who voices the onboarding droid on the PSA video at Star Tours at Disney World.
05:49That was kind of a deep cut, I'm sorry.
05:50Oh yeah, also, uh, the Afton family mom from Minions, there you go.
05:54And she implies that because he's being raised by a dog, Sherman felt the need to bite someone else,
05:58when it's obviously just because of the videos he watches,
06:00and so she's going to come over to Mr. Peabody's household later,
06:03and do a welfare check, threatening the removal of Mr. Peabody's custody over Sherman.
06:07I hope I've made myself clear.
06:10Crystal.
06:12F***ing bitch.
06:13She f***ed a snail.
06:15And as Mr. Peabody put Sherman to bed,
06:17we get a view of the past the two have shared over the years,
06:19and oh my god, guys, look at Spider-Verse animation, this is cinema.
06:23And we see how Sherman was found in a box on the side of the street,
06:25because his parents realized that he was a ginger and got rid of him,
06:28so Mr. Peabody adopts him in a court of law overruled by the Allstate guy.
06:31If a boy can adopt a dog,
06:33I see no reason why a dog cannot adopt a boy.
06:37And after our epic montage is over,
06:39Mr. Peabody gets cookin' in this masterfully animated scene,
06:42and while yes, it obviously doesn't even hold a candle to the wholesome taco chungus scene,
06:46I guess it'll have to do.
06:47And when Sherman asks Mr. Peabody why he's cookin' so hard,
06:50he gets his answer when none other than Penny the f*** shows up,
06:52yeah, you and me both Sherman.
06:54So then Sherman and Penny go off to watch My Little Pony together,
06:57which results in Peabody and Sherman arguing about the current Penny in the room,
07:00and we get this ICONIC line.
07:02Don't tell her about the way back.
07:03Then we cut to Peabody who's trying to impress Penny's parents so they don't press charges,
07:07and Mr. Penny Dad who's voiced by President Monster vs Alien,
07:10will just not be impressed by anything Peabody has to offer,
07:15so he tries literally every form of music known to man,
07:18and when Mr. Penny Dad's about to break his back because there's an old f***,
07:21Peabody fixes it and now he's on his good side.
07:23You can trust me, Paul, I'm a licensed chiropractor.
07:27And we cut back to Sherman and Penny,
07:29but guess what, he tells her about the goddamn way back,
07:31even though he said, and I quote,
07:33DON'T TELL HER ABOUT THE WAY BACK.
07:34And now he's disobeying direct orders from Master Peabody,
07:37all to impress Penny I guess, simp of the year right here.
07:39However, Peabody's none the wiser as him and Penny's parents make drinks,
07:42but then Sherman pulls Peabody aside to confess that he went to ancient Egypt,
07:46and for some reason Penny just got left there I guess.
07:48And in order to stall the parents, he does the funny discord gift thing.
07:53What the hell was that transition?
07:55With the two arriving in ancient Egypt,
07:57they find Penny being treated like a king after she removes the tea cogs from all the miners,
08:01and she refuses to go home, as she's now engaged to the one and only King Tut,
08:05who is scientifically accurate and is just an actual child,
08:07who just wants nothing else but to be with his child girlfriend because like,
08:10I don't know, Jonochrome or something.
08:12And then we get this pretty good joke,
08:13King Tut dies young, are you sure you've thought this through?
08:16Oh trust me, I thought it through, I'm getting everything.
08:19But when we find out that in order to marry King Tut,
08:21she has to be gutted and mummified,
08:23so she's taken away and Mr. Peabody and Sherman are thrown into the dungeon.
08:26We're after some dialogue,
08:27and it's implied that Sherman's actually jealous about Penny marrying someone else,
08:30because like, Jonochrome,
08:32and after finding the secret pathway,
08:34they have to do the El Macho Despicable Me 2 dance on these Egyptian hieroglyph tile thingies,
08:38and I honestly really like this visual style whenever Peabody is thinking of something.
08:41It's a good way to visualize stuff to the audience,
08:43and it's like he has a little chalkboard in his head while he's thinking.
08:45But Sherman's an asshat and steps on the wrong tile at the last second,
08:48resulting in the entire cavern caving in,
08:50and they make their grand escape onto one of two boats,
08:52where one of them leads to certain death and the other leads to an escape,
08:55and of course Sherman picks the wrong one because, you know,
08:57goddammit Sherman.
08:58So Peabody saves him, and they arrive at the Arse of Sphinx,
09:02or as I like to call it, the Sphinxter.
09:04And then guys, holy shi-
09:05We cut to King Tut and Penny's wedding day,
09:07where just as Penny's about to get stabby stab stab stab stab stab stab,
09:10by this one guy who looks way too happy to do it,
09:12everything is halted by Anubis II,
09:14the god of death,
09:15who becomes sentient from the statue and demands the wedding go on no longer.
09:18As if it does, he will shower the lands of Egypt in plagues upon plagues.
09:22Oy, again for the plagues. Why did I ever move to Egypt?
09:25And he claims to have spoken with the sun god, Ra,
09:27who changed his mind about the whole sacrifice thing.
09:29But it's too late! We've already paid for the catering!
09:32Too bad! You're going to lose your deposit!
09:36And as the wedding's just about to be called off,
09:38Sherman once again fucks everything up,
09:40by lighting the whole goddamn place on fire,
09:42resulting in Anubis' bottom jaw toppling off of his face.
09:44And just like that, our heroes are made.
09:46That actually really hurt my hand.
09:47I hit it like right on the corner of my desk. Ow.
09:49And they're about to make their getaway in style,
09:51and make it back to the Wayback.
09:52And as they're making their way back to the future,
09:54ah, get it like that movie,
09:55they run out of power and need to make a quick stop at the renaissance in 1508,
09:59and they meet up with the one and only Leonardo DiCaprio,
10:01who was voiced by that one guy from Transformers 4.
10:04How do you say get the fuck out of the way in Chinese?
10:06And he's working on the Mona Lisa,
10:07and he can't exactly help our boys at the moment,
10:09cause he just cannot get Mona Lisa to smile no matter what.
10:11So with no other option, they call in the big guns.
10:13Okay boys, I just got a call.
10:15Who wants to make Mona Lisa smile?
10:18And after some failed attempts by Mr. Peabody,
10:20he eventually finds success.
10:21And as Da Vinci's finally able to paint Starry Night or whatever,
10:24they're able to go and replenish the Wayback's energy supply.
10:26And then as Sherman wants to go explore with Penny,
10:28Da Vinci convinces Peabody to let him go and wander off,
10:30in a decently heartfelt moment.
10:32That is until this happens.
10:34This one?
10:35Oh boy.
10:36And Sherman and Penny fly off in a prototype airplane,
10:39and we get this aerial shot showing that the plane is actually just modeled after Toothless,
10:42which is a neat little easter egg I actually really like.
10:44And as they're on their joyride, we cut back to Peabody and Da Vinci.
10:47Children are not machines, Peabody.
10:49I tried to build one.
10:51Oh, it was creepy.
10:54But then Penny just like,
10:55let's go with the steering wheel and forces Sherman to save their lives.
10:58Yeah, okay, no pressure or nothing, chief.
11:00But Sherman eventually pulls up and they fly through a church proving the Scientology.
11:03We get some really cool shots showing the epic water physics coming holiday 2009.
11:07Mamma mia, Da Vinci said it again!
11:09You ever see that child he made?
11:11So creepy!
11:14And as Sherman passes Mr. Peabody,
11:16Mr. Peabody is just like,
11:17uh, Sherman, you remember you can't fly?
11:19And then he just like, immediately plummets to the earth,
11:21like he was doing pretty good, he just, what?
11:23But they crash into a tree destroying the flying toothless contraption.
11:26Though Da Vinci is just ecstatic that it worked,
11:28while Mr. Peabody is a heartless bitch.
11:29Meanwhile, while they're in the way back, you can cut the tension with a knife.
11:32As Peabody gets roasted by Penny.
11:34If you're such a great parrot,
11:35why is Ms. Grunion trying to take Sherman away from you?
11:38And then they encounter a black hole.
11:40And then Sherman finds out about Ms. Grunion wanting to take him.
11:43And while Peabody's trying to save all their lives,
11:45Sherman's just pissed that he was never told about Grunion.
11:47Like, guys, I think there's more pressing matters at the moment.
11:50I said, I'm not a dog!
11:53You're right Sherman, you're not!
11:55You're just a very bad boy!
12:05And as our team are sent through a mega super mega space wormhole,
12:07they crash land in Ancient Troy,
12:09where Sherman's nowhere to be found as he runs off.
12:11And as we cut to the Trojan horse,
12:12and this one gag I really, really like.
12:18Delivery!
12:20We meet the god among men himself, Agamemnon.
12:23The best character in the movie voiced by funny Joe Swanson
12:26leveled up on Peppa Pig this weekend.
12:27As he riles up the Greek army,
12:28now including the one and only Shermanis,
12:30who is going to fight alongside Agamemnon and his men during the Trojan War.
12:34Someone left this for us!
12:36A present!
12:37Nice!
12:38It looks just like our horse!
12:40Should I bring it inside?
12:41It'd be rude not to.
12:42And as Mr. Peabody arises from the mini horse,
12:44he wants to bring Sherman back to his rightful home.
12:46However, he's taken an oath with Agamemnon and joined the Greek army.
12:49Uh, yeah, and don't even get me started about Oedipus.
12:52Let's just say that you do NOT want to be at his house over the holidays.
12:55It's awkward.
12:56And as Mr. Peabody demands Sherman come with him right now,
12:59it's a bit too late,
13:00as they've already begun the process of wheeling the horse into the Trojan stronghold.
13:03And as they all drop out of the horse,
13:04the battle begins as Shermanis realizes he's in way over his head.
13:07So he uses the dog whistle to call on his support unit.
13:09As Mr. Peabody starts soloing every Trojan warrior in the island,
13:12then a giant flaming door smashes on the rear of the horse,
13:15resulting in Penny about to literally f***ing die.
13:17So in order to chase the wooden horse,
13:18our heroes grab ahold of Twilight Sparkle and get a move on.
13:21And as Penny's about to fall off a cliff and burn into smithereens,
13:23Mr. Peabody has another brain blast moment
13:25and saves her using a grappling hook just like man.
13:27And as Mr. Peabody and Sherman go to collect Penny,
13:29her toga gets caught on a nail like in Da Quiet Place.
13:32And as Sherman rushes up to help her,
13:34it creates too much weight on one side of the horse.
13:36So as the horse is falling off a cliff in one last ditch effort,
13:38Mr. Peabody sacrifices himself to save Sherman and Penny,
13:41as they fly up to safety while the horse careens into the rocks below,
13:44killing Peabody instantly.
13:47So Sherman has a ye ol' whining sesh because boo hoo my dad dog is dead.
13:51But Sherman quickly realizes that he can just use the way back to go back to the present
13:54where Mr. Peabody's still alive.
13:56And even though he's strictly been advised to never go back to a time where there'd be two of them,
13:59but he makes an executive decision and heads back to the dinner party.
14:02And we cut back to the party in an exact parallel of the earlier scene in the film.
14:05As Peabody finds out once again that Sherman told her about the way back.
14:07Then we ran out of gas.
14:08In Florence.
14:09Went into a black hole.
14:10And then you died in ancient Troy.
14:11Died?
14:12I have a hard time believing that.
14:14Bro, why is he just doing the DreamWorks post?
14:16But then we find out that there's another Sherman among us.
14:19Mr. Peabody died in ancient Troy.
14:21Died?
14:22I have a hard time believing that.
14:23Stop doing that!
14:24And while we're here, I have a genuine question I want to bring up.
14:26Why is there not two pennies?
14:28I mean, I know that she was also back in time and she wasn't in the earlier scene,
14:31but Sherman literally says,
14:32Oh well the other version of me is in ancient Troy.
14:34And then his ass shows up, so clearly that wouldn't matter.
14:37Like they got Penny out of ancient Egypt.
14:39This movie stinks!
14:40It's all wrong!
14:41And as both Shermans give each other a high five,
14:43they do some weird Mr. Fantastic looking animation.
14:45And as the Petersons approach at 10 o'clock,
14:47the other Sherman runs for the hills.
14:48But then, holy shit.
14:50The grunion's on the case as Mr. Peabody tries to hypnotize her,
14:53but it works on Sherman instead.
14:54As he plops to the ground and the jig is up.
14:56And just as Peabody's backed into a corner,
14:58we get the greatest line in Dreamworks history.
15:01Nobody move!
15:03Sherman!
15:04I've got to get you out of here before you touch yourself!
15:06It works at so many levels!
15:09And as we find out that Peabody Prime still lives,
15:11Brennan officially declares that she'll be taking both Shermans,
15:14in order to ensure the survival of the Sherman species.
15:16And as they both touch themselves together,
15:18all this yackery-do happens,
15:20as both Mr. Peabody's and both Shermans need to combine
15:22in order to fix an anomaly in the space-time continuum.
15:24And it sends a shockwave throughout all of Manhattan.
15:26At least I think this is Manhattan.
15:28I don't know, I live in Vermont, leave me alone.
15:30And as Grunion's about to take away the Shermans,
15:32we get this epic POV body,
15:34where he bites the living hell out of Grunion's blubber,
15:36and she seizes the moment to call the police and report an assault.
15:39Get here as soon as possible!
15:40RUN!
15:41This is me when the officer says,
15:43Excuse me sir, do you mind stepping out of the car?
15:45And as our three heroes rush to the way back to outrun the Grunion force,
15:48in order to fix the anomaly before it spreads deeper,
15:50they're unable to time travel because of their status as a Varian or whatever.
15:53And as a giant rift opens above New York,
15:55all the historical figures start coming through,
15:57and like,
15:58okay all of these guys are dead.
16:00Like every single one they are falling actual skyscraper levels.
16:04But then the choppers are inbound and Mr. Peabody's gotta outrun the feds,
16:07and we get this really fun chase scene where Peabody's outrunning Grunion and the cops.
16:10It's so chaotic and stupid, I love it so much.
16:13What sort of creature are you?
16:15The name's Grunion!
16:17I'm in love!
16:20And while all this is going down,
16:21we get the classic historical figures being shoved into modern day,
16:24which has been done a million times in media,
16:26but it's just such a timeless idea I can't help but love it here.
16:28Like we have Marie Antoinette eating tasty cakes out of a truck,
16:31and Beethoven playing DDR.
16:33How can you not love this?
16:34And as they're getting rushed by the street,
16:36we find that guy who gets tased in like five minutes,
16:38who gives chase as well as the Greek army,
16:40who are in this pizza shop which like,
16:42it's just like one room.
16:44Like I mean look at it,
16:45like there's no kitchen,
16:46there's no door or anything,
16:47it's just like a tiny room.
16:48Mr. Peabody look out,
16:49you're gonna hit the Pentagon!
16:50But they crash land at this random park,
16:52where the police pull up as well as the historical figures,
16:54and we get the iconic funny line.
16:56Don't tase me bro!
17:02And as Groening and the feds try to put Peabody in cell block A,
17:05Peabody pleads in order to let him try to fix the space-time continuum,
17:08but they don't listen to him because of like, racism or whatever.
17:10And they put one of those weird neck stick thingies on Peabody to keep him at bay,
17:13and as Peabody's about to be locked up for real for real,
17:15Sherman confesses that it was all his fault,
17:17and that he used the Wayback without permission,
17:19creating this whole mess.
17:20Which to be fair is like, 100% true,
17:22this is all Sherman's fault, Sherman you're a f***ing monster.
17:25And then after that we get what's easily the most cringe-inducing,
17:27but endearing line in the whole film.
17:29Maybe you're right Miss Grenion,
17:31but there's one thing you haven't considered.
17:33I'm a dog too!
17:35Like, I love how all the historical figures from the past several thousand years,
17:39who have fought wars and watched their brother and die in the name of freedom,
17:42are all just kinda standing here watching this boy explain why he's a goddamn dog.
17:46And then everybody joins in and agrees that they're all dogs,
17:49on every level but physical.
17:50I am a dog.
17:52I want the, uh, I want Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash.
17:56And as Grenion tries to fight back, she says that you can't change the law,
17:59but then Penny's like,
18:00uh, shut up bitch, here's Georgia Mishwashing Machines.
18:02Benjamin Freckle says otherwise!
18:04Who declares that Mr. Peabody will receive a presidential pardon,
18:07which like, no the f*** he doesn't.
18:09You have not been in office for like 300 years, you have no jurisdiction here.
18:13Residential pardon, me too! I've done worse.
18:18HAHA!
18:19Why is he here, he's not even dead!
18:21And as the wormhole grows bigger, a giant ass sniffer crushes Grungi whole,
18:25and the brilliant minds come together to think of a solution.
18:27That is until Sherman has the bright idea, of instead of going back in time,
18:30they go forward in time.
18:31Which Peabody realizes is the answer.
18:33So they're gonna go up there at the speed of light and reverse the space-time continuum,
18:37but when Mr. Peabody tells Sherman that he's gonna have to drive,
18:39while he reprograms the Wayback,
18:41which like, oh by the way, they've been building up this whole time
18:43of how Sherman can't fly or whatever,
18:45but like, he drove the Wayback back and forward throughout time
18:49on several occasions in the movie already,
18:51like, he seems pretty contempt with it to me.
18:53But as Sherman flies up into the wormhole at over 200 miles an hour,
18:56the Wayback is crumbling due to the force,
18:58and it's looking like they're not gonna make it,
18:59until Peabody gives the go to travel forward in time,
19:02and as there's a moment of silence,
19:03all the historical artifacts and people get sucked back throughout the wormhole,
19:06and as Grunion's released from her prison,
19:08she vows to get Peabody one day.
19:10That is until our man Agamemnon grabs her and takes her back in the back.
19:15What a fucking legend.
19:16And it looks like Mr. Peabody and Sherman aren't gonna make it out.
19:19That is until the space-time continuum thing erupts,
19:21and our boys are back in town.
19:23I'M BACK, BITCHES!
19:25And as we cut to a few days later,
19:26we get a parallel to the scene where Sherman gets dropped off,
19:28but instead of Peabody rambling to Sherman,
19:30Sherman's rambling to Peabody about stuff,
19:32and as he gets dropped off,
19:33he meets with Penny and says goodbye to Mr. Peabody one last time,
19:36and with one final line from Peabody to the audience,
19:38No doubt about it.
19:40Every dog should have a boy.
19:42We cut to the post-credit scene,
19:43where we get to see all the historical figures back in their time,
19:45but using modern-day technology,
19:47which is pretty funny,
19:48but I'm sure it'll have no ripple effect on the timeline whatsoever.
19:50And then finally,
19:51we get to see that Grunion and Agamemnon are now married,
19:53and are living their best life.
19:55Good on you, Chief.
19:56I know you could do it.
19:57And with that, our film ends.
19:58So there you go.
19:59There's Mr. Peabody and Sherman.
20:01Man, what a ride this movie is.
20:03Like, this film's plot is pretty much a cluster of several mini-stories combined into one,
20:07where they just kind of hop around from place to place,
20:09but I think it works with these characters and all the ingenious writing throughout.
20:13Like, undoubtedly, this film has the most witty and fun writing out of any DreamWorks film.
20:17Well, I mean, maybe not as much as Shrek, but I don't think Shrek's even comparable to any other piece of film.
20:21So many memorable lines and moments, and jokes that just land so perfectly.
20:24Like, comparing this to Turbo and Home, it's not even a competition.
20:27And while I think Turbo is a decent film, and Home is just...
20:30kinda home,
20:31this film just blows them both out of the water.
20:33It's such a unique story that's set up so perfectly,
20:35and it's honestly much more gripping and emotional at times than it has any right to be,
20:39and it really does a good job giving these characters a bit of an arc.
20:41It's nothing crazy, obviously, but it's appreciated and executed pretty well.
20:45Plus, the characters are just top-notch.
20:47I mean, Mr. Peabody seems like he'd be kind of an unbearable asshole,
20:49who is constantly rambling about smarty-pants business.
20:52But the acting and the way he talks to other characters is just so lovable,
20:54you just gotta root for the guy.
20:56Now, Sherman, though, he's just a little punk bitch.
20:58As well, I really like Penny,
20:59and I honestly enjoy how much of an unbearable monster she is in the beginning.
21:03Like, Sherman does literally nothing to her,
21:05and she just publicly embarrasses him and put the motherfucker in a headlock.
21:08Like, dear lord, her being such a dick kick-starts the entire plot of the movie.
21:11And even beyond the main three, you've got amazing side characters.
21:14Like, Agamemnon, my boy.
21:16The French guy who gets tased.
21:17Miss Grunion.
21:18Bill Clinton.
21:19I did not have sexual relations with that dog and that boy.
21:24This movie truly was ahead of its time.
21:26Hey, get it?
21:27Cause time travel, there's a gun pointed to the back of my head right?
21:29I also wanted to mention that I think the animation in this movie is really up to snuff.
21:32It's obviously nothing crazy by today's standards,
21:34but in my opinion, I think this era was kind of the peak of CGI animation.
21:38And what I mean is that I think we've reached the limit of what can be considered cartoony,
21:41but also well detailed without becoming part of the uncanny valley.
21:44And I feel like after this era of films, we saw kind of a split
21:47to where companies like Disney and Pixar shifted to more realistic and hyper-detailed characters and worlds.
21:52While other companies like DreamWorks, Sony, and Blue Sky
21:54eventually went for a more stylized and unique approach to animation.
21:57With stuff like Spider-Verse, Puss in Boots, The Last Wish, and the Peanuts movie.
22:01And all kinds of other phenomenal looking films.
22:03While Disney, and more specifically Pixar, made weird gross shit.
22:06This is a completely off-topic rant, but I don't care.
22:09How the hell do people think that this looks acceptable?
22:12I absolutely despise how modern Pixar movies look.
22:15They're so hyper-realistic and have these genuinely disgusting textures on their human characters.
22:20And all the environments look so dull and hyper-detailed.
22:23It's like, what's even the point of even making an animated movie at that point?
22:26Inside Out 2 is such a terrible offender with this.
22:29Since you have this gross, disgusting, realistic land,
22:32as well as the amazing and colorful looking head world.
22:34And it's just cutting between them throughout the entire movie.
22:37The first Inside Out looked perfectly fine because it still looked cartoony.
22:40But this one's just unbearable.
22:42I genuinely can't watch it, it makes me uncomfortable.
22:45And then you look at what released a few months later with Transformers 1.
22:48Which is one of the greatest looking animated movies of all time.
22:51So much amazing texture work and lighting that brings Cybertron to life.
22:54The film looks so ungodly phenomenal and was made for a third of the budget.
22:58Like, imagine if Pixar animated Transformers 1.
23:00It would've looked like f***ing Lightyear.
23:02Like, it's insane to me how people flock to this 7.5 out of 10 and not Transformers 1 fight me.
23:06Has won.
23:07But anyway, pivoting away from my rant.
23:09Just like Transformers 1, being a good film kinda means nothing in the modern age.
23:13Cause this film bombed.
23:14It only made 275 million on a budget of 145 million.
23:18Which seems good on paper.
23:20But when you account for stuff like marketing as well as a bunch of other stuff.
23:23It's very clear that they did not break even.
23:25And reports estimate that they lost around 57 million dollars with this film.
23:28Therefore, any hope of a Mr. Peabody and Sherman 2 was dashed immediately.
23:32And no, the epic trailers featuring Pompeii couldn't save this one, Chief.
23:35By the way, while we're talking about it, I just need to say how I didn't even know what this song was until like, a few years ago.
23:40And by a few years ago, I mean the day it got added to Fortnite Festival.
23:44Oh wait, Jesus.
23:45Like, the only thing I acquainted this song with was this movie.
23:47I didn't even know this song had a name.
23:49I thought it was just called the A-A-O Mr. Peabody song that goes Ancient Egypt.
23:53But now here's the part where I'll normally talk about some random promotions for the film.
23:56And the release schedule and all the stuff that was going on around it.
23:59And while I could go into detail over things like the promotional tie and glasses that came with the DVD set.
24:04Or the Way Back Snack Attack Sweepstakes.
24:06Or the Roblox item.
24:08Actually wait, hold on. Let's read the description of this real quick.
24:10Use Mr. Peabody's Way Back Machine to travel back in time and space to wherever you left it.
24:14Be sure to catch Mr. Peabody and Sherman in theaters March 7th.
24:17This is good.
24:18Now instead of any of that, I thought it would be very interesting and fascinating to instead look at the development of the film instead.
24:24Since it's kind of an interesting story with some very interesting details here and there.
24:27So let's just hop right into it.
24:28As we start out, we have to use the Way Back and go all the way back to 2003.
24:32Where plans for a Mr. Peabody and Sherman movie were being discussed at Bullwinkle Studios.
24:36Which would have been directed by the inevitable director of the film, Peter Minkoff.
24:39Which would have been a live action CGI hybrid.
24:42Yeah, could you have imagined that?
24:43They would have gotten James Marsden like in Hoppin to Sonic 2.
24:47However, it was inevitably scrapped.
24:49Cut to three years later with the rise of Dreamworks.
24:51Where it was once again greenlit with Minkoff to direct.
24:53And after trying to crack the script for a few years, we cut to 2011.
24:57Where I shit you not, Robert Downey Jr. was signed on to voice Mr. Peabody.
25:02Like, like what?
25:04Why was this ever an option?
25:06I mean, I get why, but like, like why?
25:08I get that he wasn't as expensive as he is nowadays.
25:11Like something tells me that wouldn't have paid him 95 milli for this.
25:14And I mean like, he could have probably fit the part if he really wanted to.
25:16I mean, if Thor can be Optimus Prime, I'm pretty sure Iron Man can be Mr. F***ing Peabody.
25:20It's such a crazy aspect I didn't know until writing the script.
25:22And I'm genuinely at a loss here.
25:24I don't know what to think.
25:25But of course in 2012, the role was given to Ty Burl.
25:28Or maybe it's, maybe it's T-U-I, Ty, the, the, the, the, the f***ing whale.
25:32I'm disgusting.
25:34Yes, you're disgusting.
25:35Because our boy RDJ was a bit busy and couldn't find time to voice the dog.
25:39But then the film was set to release on March 14th, 2014.
25:42But DreamWorks was so giddy, they pulled an Ultimate Custom Night and moved it up to November 1st of 2013.
25:47Resulting in the cancellation of a film that was going to be released the same day, Me and My Shadow.
25:51But then in February 2013, they decided to just put it back to the original date.
25:54Minus a week for the homies at March 7th.
25:56As God intended and as we previously confirmed via the Roblox item.
25:59The film released, we got these great mascot outfits, it bombed, we never got a sequel.
26:03Pour one out for our man Mr. Peabody.
26:05But I suppose that brings us to modern day.
26:07Where after 10 years, this film was left kind of a legacy of its own.
26:10I'm so glad that we're at the point where nostalgia is kicking in for these early 2010s DreamWorks films.
26:14I would know.
26:15But I think it's really nice that someone, me, was able to finally shed some light on this one.
26:18It's such an interesting footnote in DreamWorks history.
26:20And it's not just some random adaptation of a book or something.
26:23Peabody and Sherman was a thing that's been around for over half a century.
26:26And it's so interesting how they were able to reinvent these simple 2D characters from the 1950s into a modern age.
26:32The way DreamWorks is looking now, I'm really excited to see what else they can do.
26:35And it's really funny because I just played a clip of the Wild Robot and I haven't seen that movie yet.
26:38I'm sorry I was busy that day.
26:39As one.
26:40And I'd like to say thank you very much for watching.
26:42If you enjoyed, please feel free to like, comment, subscribe, do all the other stuff.

26:54So without any further ado, subscribe right now or I'm leaving your ass in Ancient Troy to be in a polyamorous relationship with Agamemnon and Miss Grunion.
27:00We'll see if we can make this more wine, Miss Grunion.

27:02We'll see you next time, Miss Grunion!
