If you weren't watching television in the late 1950s and 1960s, and you missed "Rocky and Bullwinkle," you'll need to be brought up to date on Sherman and Mr. Peabody. Described as a classic story of a dog and his boy, the four-minute segments explored a somewhat skewed view of history.
Now, Mr. Peabody and Sherman are returning in a plush 3D movie, "Mr. Peabody & Sherman," which opens nationally next Friday. But some Minnesotans got a sneak preview this week, with director Rob Minkoff in attendance. He admitted to Euan Kerr that he's been a fan of these characters for 50 years.
