When I saw the new Thor movie they showed an early preview for Mr. Peabody & Sherman. I was shocked and appalled (I’m easily shocked and appalled) that instead of the expected Mid-Atlantic accent Mr. Peabody sounded just like Phil Dunphy. Ty Burrel seemed to make no effort to sound different, and it was jarring. However, I saw a more recent preview and Burrell sounded much more like I expected. Did other people complain so they rerecorded his lines or did I just imagine it? ---

I don’t know if they changed the voice, but I don’t like the one I heard this week in the trailer, nor the voice for Sherman. I might have been interested in seeing the film, but on the basis of the trailer, I think I will pass. You know who could have killed as the voice of Mr. Peabody? Alton Brown. ---

Yeah, Burell’s still terrible. No desire to see this. ---

My kids (7 and 9) love watching old _Rocky and Bullwinkle_ episodes on Netflix and are appalled that the movie uses 3-d animation instead of the classic cartoon style. They refuse to go see it (which is fine by me; it looks terrible). ---

Plus Mr. Peabody calls it “the way back time machine.” Wasn’t it just the “way back machine” in the original? ---

> [@peedin](#): > > Plus Mr. Peabody calls it “the way back time machine.” Wasn’t it just the “way back machine” in the original? “WAYBACK machine” shown once in the show. More commonly spelled “WABAC” by fans. Cf. “Eniac”, “Univac”, etc. ---

> [@peedin](#): > > Plus Mr. Peabody calls it “the way back time machine.” Wasn’t it just the “way back machine” in the original? We old-time fans remember that it was the [WABAC Machine](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WABAC_machine) (undoubtedly a nod to early computers like UNIVAC and ENIAC) in the original. However, the old cartoon wasn’t always consistent, and “Wayback Machine” was also used. ---

> [@peedin](#): > > Plus Mr. Peabody calls it “the way back time machine.” Wasn’t it just the “way back machine” in the original? All the trailers I’ve seen, he and Sherman just call it “the Wayback”. There is a line where Sherman tells somebody, “He calls it ‘The Wayback’. It’s a time machine.” ---

Wasn’t this originally titled simply _Mr. Peabody_? The early ad campaign that was plastered all over every bus stop in town (“He’s leaving his mark on history”) made no mention of Sherman. ---
