Mr. Peabody is the world’s smartest person, who just happens to be a little white dog.

He also happens to be voiced by Ty Burrell who you’ll recognise as Phil Dunphy from US TV comedy Modern Family.

He takes on a ‘pet’ boy Sherman who uses his time machine to try and impress a girl.

Breaking the first rule of time travel – don’t change anything – Sherman messes up the space-time continuum and it’s up to the unlikely duo to put things right.

Expect a lot of laughs from the makers of Shrek and Kung Fu Panda.

The Lego Movie

The Lego Movie is the first ever full-length Lego film.

The original 3D computer animated story follows a familiar tale. Emmet, a perfectly average Lego minifigure finds himself mistakenly identified as 'the Chosen One', and joins with minifigure heroes foi an epic quest to save the world.

The cast is packed full of big names including Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Morgan Freeman and Liam Neeson.

As expected, it's got lots of jokes for parents as well as children. It's been getting some great reviews, with film critics running home to pull out their children's boxes of Lego, and fall in love with the humble brick all over again. You have been warned!
