Plot
Mr. Peabody is a talking dog who is the smartest being in the
world. As a pup, he was rejected by every potential owner,
leading him to devote his life to science, athletics, and
technological discoveries. One day, Peabody finds an
orphaned infant and legally adopts him under the name of
Sherman (age 7). He tutors Sherman through a series of
adventures throughout history with the use of the WABAC
(pronounced way-back), a time machine and his greatest
invention. After narrowly escaping the French Revolution,
Sherman starts his first day at Susan B. Anthony School, and
falls into conflict with classmate Penny Peterson, who he
innocently showed up in history class with his first-hand
knowledge of George Washington. Penny bullies and
humiliates Sherman, insulting him by calling him a "dog" for
being raised by one, which provokes Sherman into biting her.
Peabody visits Principal Purdy about the matter, but is
confronted by Ms. Grunion, a bigoted child and family services
agent who threatens to reclaim Sherman if an upcoming
home inspection is deemed unfit for him.
Peabody invites the Petersons over for a dinner party to
mend fences between Sherman and Penny. While Peabody
charms Paul and Patty, Sherman is left with Penny. Sherman
reveals the WABAC to Penny after she calls him a liar about his
first hand knowledge and they joyride in it, despite
Peabody's warnings. Moments later, Sherman seeks
Peabody's help to retrieve Penny, who refused to leave her
engagement with King Tut in Ancient Egypt. Penny changes
her mind when she learns Tut will die young and she will be
executed and buried with him. Peabody and Sherman are
trapped in a tomb. They escape and impersonate the god
Anubis to call off the wedding. Their cover is blown at the last
second, but they escape in the WABAC along with Penny.
With the WABAC low on energy, the three stop in Renaissance
Florence to seek the aid of Mr. Peabody's old friend Leonardo
da Vinci. While Peabody and Leonardo build a contraption to
recharge the WABAC, Penny convinces Sherman to explore
Leonardo's workshop with her and they bond by using
Leonardo's flying machine without permission. They crash-
land and Leonardo is thrilled that the machine worked but
Peabody is angered at Penny for making Sherman do that.
During the return trip to the present, Penny reveals Ms.
Grunion's intention of reclaiming Sherman. An argument
ensues between Peabody and Sherman while the WABAC
draws near a black hole. They escape but crash-land in the
Trojan War where an upset Sherman runs away to join the
armies of King Agamemnon. When Peabody and Penny come
to retrieve him in the Trojan Horse, they find themselves in
the battle and Penny becomes trapped in the Trojan Horse as
it races towards a cliff. In a rescue attempt, Sherman and
Penny are saved, but Peabody appears to have gone down
with the Trojan Horse and is presumed dead.
Desperate to save Peabody, Sherman and Penny return to the
present minutes before Sherman returned the first time to
get Peabody to remedy the situation. However, the present
copies of Peabody and Sherman show up along with Ms.
Grunion. She attempts to reclaim both Shermans, which
causes them along with the copies of Peabody to merge and
disrupt the space-time continuum. Ms. Grunion makes
another attempt at reclaiming Sherman, hurting him in the
process which causes an enraged Peabody to revert to his
natural instinct and bite her. As Ms. Grunion informs the
police, Peabody, Sherman, and Penny flee to the WABAC. They
are unable to travel back in time as several historic figures
and monuments rain down into the present. The WABAC
eventually crashes in the street as the police converge on the
WABAC. Peabody is apprehended by Animal Control who plan
on euthanizing him for assaulting Ms. Grunion. Sherman
protests by explaining that everything that happened is his
fault and declares that he would rather be a dog as good as
Peabody than a person. Moved by his speech, every historical
figure present, the Petersons, and even the police officers
concur. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Bill Clinton
support Peabody's legal custody of Sherman and award
Peabody a presidential pardon while Sherman and Penny
share a hug.
When a vortex in the space-time continuum rips open,
Sherman pilots the WABAC while Peabody handles the
computations intending to travel to the future by a few
minutes and undo the damage with success. The historical
figures and monuments return to their respective times with
a smitten King Agamemnon dragging Ms. Grunion with him as
she swears revenge on Peabody. Although it appears
Peabody and Sherman are lost, they return spontaneously as
the Petersons look on and celebrate. Sherman, closer to
Peabody than ever, returns to Susan B. Anthony School where
he has become good friends with Penny. In the final scene,
the time periods are contaminated with modern traits while
Ms. Grunion and King Agamemnon are engaged.
