I took my older son to see The Lego Movie this past weekend. I wasn't looking forward to it, so I drummed up ideas in my head as to how I would spend the 100 minutes: plotting out my serial, shoving down handfuls of popcorn, maybe even resting my eyes. But the movie turned out to be highly entertaining! "Everything is awesome!"
Anyway, we also watched the previews. And what do you know? They're making a moving called Mr. Peabody and Sherman. I had an instant flashback to my childhood. The original Mr. Peabody and Sherman were fill-ins during the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show (so not to be mistaken for the 2000 movie with Robert DeNiro and Rene Russo).
(I realize those of you born in the 1980s will be totally lost at this point).
I told my son how I used to watch the original when I was a kid. He was intrigued. So I decided to see if YouTube had any of those segments. And guess what? They do.
Happy Time Travel through the virtual static of your black-and-white TV set with a dial! ("If you turn it too fast you're going to break the TV!")

ReplyDeleteHow funny. That's exactly what I was thinking about the Lego movie. Yet, I've heard more people say it was awesome.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the Lego Movie. Watching old cartoons as a grown up can be a lot of fun. It's almost like going back in time.
ReplyDeletehaha i am glad you enjoyed the lego movie--i must admit---i have my doubts about it--now i just might give it a try---my son in law is dying to see it!
ReplyDeleteI love Peabody and Sherman. Of course I used to watch and still do when I can find them on (Boomerang). Now I'm traveling down memory lane with you, pal. I cannot believe it! Thanks. We haven't seen the Lego movie. YET! :-) We will though. xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt's a sweet cartoon, but I can't help wondering how they'll make a movie out of it. :-/
ReplyDeleteLOL. I totally remember watching those. My goodness, blast from the past!
