It's been a bit over a month since we
brought you word about the
May 31st single-disc release of
The Best of Mr. Peabody & Sherman - Volume 1: 15 Improbable Histories. These Jay Ward cartoon shorts were first seen as part of
Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends series, and can be found on the season set DVDs for that series. For those of you who only want to experience their adventures in the Wayback ("WABAC") Machine, though, Sony Music and Classic Media are making this separate release available..
For the $12.95 SRP you get 88 minutes with 15 cartoon shorts. Here is the back-of-the-box description for this release:
The genius dog, Mr. Peabody, is taking his pet boy Sherman out for a walk - through time - and they are saving the most famous figures of history...from themselves!
School yourself with Peabody and Sherman's greatest time warps: they show Wellington where Waterloo actually is, fix up a piece of music for Beethoven, and even help Ferdinand Magellan fight a bull.
Includes 15 recollections of improbable history, featuring: Pancho Villa!, Ludwig Van Beethoven!, and Florence Nightingale!
