Based upon the original cartoon first released and created in the late 1950’s and 1960’s (animated series “Rocky and His Friends” and “The Bullwinkle Show”)  The characters have both developed quite substantially over the years and a key to understanding this cartoon is understating the history of Mr. Peabody & Sherman.

The cartoons are about Peabody, a beagle who is the smartest being in existence. Peabody has accomplished many things in his life as a business magnate, inventor, scientist, Nobel laureate, gourmand, and two-time Olympic medalist. One day, Mr. Peabody becomes sad and lonely and decides to adopt a human son. In an alley, he meets Sherman, a dorky, glasses-wearing, orange-haired boy. After saving Sherman from a group of bullies, Peabody discovers that Sherman is an orphan and decides to adopt him.  After a court appearance and a talk with the President and the government, Peabody becomes Sherman's new guardian.

Peabody realizes that boys need running room and so invents the WABAC machine as a birthday gift for Sherman. He and Sherman then go back in time to see places and people like: ancient Rome, Ben Franklin,  Paul Revere , Robin Hood, Daniel Boone, William Shakespeare, George Washington, Mona Lisa, Nero and Beethoven to name just a few.  Employing various strategies, Peabody, assisted by Sherman, always finds a way to fix problems though not always in a manner true to the historical record.
