Well, This Looks Dissapointing...

...I'd say really dissapointing, but until this moment I'd completely forgotten they were even making this. Oh, well.



Are Mr. Peabody & Sherman really a property that "exists" for the audience this seems to be aimed at? They were probably the best remembered of the Rocky & Bullwinkle supporting features, but I feel like it's been a long time since reruns of that were any level of kiddie-TV staple. Nevermind that turning them into a spectacle-driven 3D movie largely misses the appeal of the various Jay Ward cartoons; which were minimally animated and relied on sharp, radio-style verbal comedy and intentionally groan-inducing puns for their laughs - hence why they outlasted so many of their 'toon contemporaries.



On the plus side, Rob Minkoff (late of "The Lion King,") has the director's chair, so that's something.

Escape to The Movies: 12 YEARS A SLAVE
