Stephen Colbert and Allison Janney have signed up for DreamWorks Animation’s “Mr. Peabody & Sherman” based on the iconic cartoon series.
Also joining the project are Ellie Kemper (“Bridesmaids,” “The Office”), Ariel Winter (“Modern Family”) and Stephen Tobolowsky (“Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax,” “Californication”).
DreamWorks Animation is so high on “Mr. Peabody” it is pushing up the release of the film from March 14, 2014 to November 8, 2013. The movie swaps places with the studio’s “Me & My Shadow,” another high-profile project that is a combination of CGI and hand-drawn animation.
Based on Jay Ward’s classic cartoon, Mr. Peabody is the world’s smartest person — only he’s a dog. When he and his “pet” boy Sherman use their WABAC time-traveling machine without permission, events in history spiral out of control and it is up to the duo to put things back on track.
