Quiet, you! Mr. Peabody is a know-it-all dog – total jerk – who, with his pet boy Sherman, jumps around in time and meets all manner of historical figures. The duo, originally part of
The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show, are getting their own feature-length 3D CG-animated film, called
Peabody and Sherman, and
Robert Downey Jr. will voice the uppity canine. More than a marquee name will be required to train up this dog, however. Let us never forget
The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle, and the fact that it will always number among Robert De Niro’s film credits.
