The story
A young boy and his dog, who happens to have a genius-level IQ, spring into action when their time-machine is stolen and moments in history begin to be changed.
Mr. Peabody & Sherman recap
Mr. Peabody is a genius dog who has adopted a human boy, Sherman, and taught him history using the WABAC time machine. On Sherman's first day at school, Penny Peterson mocks him as a dog, Sherman bites her, and the social worker Ms. Grunion threatens to take Sherman away. Peabody hosts a dinner for Penny's parents to smooth things over, and Sherman shows Penny the WABAC. They visit Marie Antoinette's France, Leonardo da Vinci's Florence, and the Trojan War, where Penny sets her heart on marrying King Tut and Sherman fights alongside Agamemnon. Sherman and Penny end up in the present at the same time as their past selves, which tears a hole in time and pulls historical figures into New York.
Mr. Peabody & Sherman ending explained
Ms. Grunion tries to seize Sherman, and Peabody is nearly arrested. Sherman flies the WABAC and, with Peabody's help, reverses the time rip, sending the historical figures home. Sherman and Penny become friends, Peabody is allowed to keep Sherman, and Ms. Grunion is carried off by Agamemnon. Peabody, who has always found it hard to show feelings, tells Sherman he loves him, and the two head off for more adventures in history.
