"If right wing conservative Christians blasted Disney’s Frozen for trying to indoctrinate children into being gay, they’re really not going to like Mr. Peabody and Sherman for its themes that parallel the ridicule gay parents receive. For a film based on a five-minute 1960s cartoon, the issues faced by Mr. Peabody - an ingenious dog who excels at everything - and his adopted human son Sherman feel surprisingly modern."

Flicks

"Swift, peppy and defiantly unendearing."

—

Variety

"Despite top-notch visuals and versatile voice-work... it lacks the Up-style warmth to be best in show."

—

Total Film

"Not perfect, but it is fast-moving, intermittently witty and pretty good fun."

—

The New York Times

"There's an awful lot of unexpected fun to be had, boasting zany adventures with various historical figures."

—

The Guardian

"The prospect of the two needing each other, but being separated by uncaring bureaucrats, might be poignant, if it weren't handled so loudly and brainlessly."

—

The Dissolve

"The film's saving grace is its character design and use of 3D techniques to speed things up in every sense when the plot starts to flag."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"There's a good-hearted father and son tale at the heart of the madness here, but the surroundings are sometimes a little too silly for true greatness."
