✨ What Made Them Famous

Mr. Peabody is the impossibly intelligent talking dog originally introduced in the Peabody's Improbable History segments of The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends. A scientist, inventor, businessman, musician, athlete, and Nobel laureate, Peabody adopts a human boy named Sherman and uses his WABAC time machine to teach him history firsthand. DreamWorks introduced the brilliant canine to a new generation with the 2014 feature film Mr. Peabody & Sherman.
