| 25 | |
| 26 | ->''"It's not '''where''' are we going, it's '''when'''."'' |
| 27 | |
| 28 | A canine genius and the adoptive father of Sherman. |
| 29 | ---- |
| 30 | * AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: All Mr. Peabody usually wears is a bowtie and glasses. |
| 31 | * AcademicAthlete: He's a world-renowned academic '''and''' Olympic athlete. [[RenaissanceMan Among other things.]] |
| 32 | * TheAce: Let's look at the list: |
| 33 | ** [[TheMedic Is a licensed chiropractor.]] |
| 34 | ** A master gourmand. |
| 35 | ** Two time [[UsefulNotes/OlympicGames Olympic]] medalist. |
| 36 | ** Pioneered new ways of saving energy. |
| 37 | ** Found ways to promote world peace. |
| 38 | ** He can play any musical instrument. |
| 39 | * ActionDad: From the trailer: |
| 40 | --> '''Narrator''': The most amazing dog in history is taking family time to a whole new dimension. |
| 41 | * AdaptationalBadass: Mr. Peabody knows a lot more scientific fields than in the original cartoon. And he's now an ActionDad as well. |
| 42 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: A behavioral example. [[WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle In the original cartoon]], he was a strict and distant authority figure towards Sherman, and considered himself Sherman's master, not his father. Here, he views Sherman as a son and adopted him out of the goodness of his heart, wanting to give Sherman something he never had: a home. |
| 43 | %%* AgentScully |
| 44 | * AllLovingHero: Some of Mr. Peabody's accomplishments include finding ways to promote world peace. |
| 45 | %%* AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: His tie has become this. |
| 46 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: Was able to figure out how to free himself from being executed by analyzing all of the objects in the vicinity. |
| 47 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: While he has trouble actually saying it, his "I have a deep regard for you as well" line to Sherman is clearly code for "I love you too." |
| 48 | * BadassAdorable: Awesomeness aside, he's small, furry and petable. |
| 49 | * BadassBookworm: Considering his list of skills under TheAce. |
| 50 | * BadassAndChildDuo: Becomes this with Sherman in the climax. |
| 51 | * BadassFamily: Of two, with Sherman. |
| 52 | * BarefootCartoonAnimal: Well, he usually only wears a bowtie, but even when wearing period costumes while time traveling he doesn't wear shoes. The only time he uses footwear is when he's ice skating with Sherman in the memories montage. |
| 53 | * BerserkButton: He doesn't take kindly to disparaging being a dog. |
| 54 | * BoozeFlamethrower: In Ancient Egypt, he spits wine through a torch to frighten the citizens while impersonating Anubis inside a statue. |
| 55 | * ButtMonkey: Every time Sherman accidentally messes things up. |
| 56 | * CannotTellAJoke: Believes that humor can be determined scientifically. He is wrong. |
| 57 | * CelibateHero: {{Justified}} given how he's more focused on raising Sherman and there's probably not another super intelligent dog. |
| 58 | * TheComicallySerious: His serious nature is almost always played for laughs. |
| 59 | * CulturedBadass: He knows every instrument, is a gourmet chef, and a master at fencing. |
| 60 | * FormallyNamedPet: Well, he is a dog, although he is more of the father than a house pet. |
| 61 | * FourFingeredHands: The only character to have four fingers. |
| 62 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Leukine -- Possesses Zen-like levels of serenity and nonchalance... most of the time. |
| 63 | * FurryReminder: As intelligent and proper as Peabody is, he still maintains his canine instincts, such as wagging his tail when happy, occasionally running on all fours, biting in a rage when Miss Grunion physically hurts his son, etc. He can also hear dog whistles. |
| 64 | * GentlemanAndAScholar: Sophisticated? Check. Has good taste in manners and etiquette? Check. Dedicates his life to helping others? Check. He definitely fits the bill. |
| 65 | * {{Good Parent|s}}: A bit overprotective, but he clearly wants the best for Sherman. |
| 66 | * HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Like with BarefootCartoonAnimal, he doesn't always wear pants (or similar items) even with period costumes while time traveling. |
| 67 | * HelicopterParents: {{Deconstructed|Trope}} a bit. Peabody's desire to keep Sherman out of harm also led to his son not doing anything by himself, in fear of making a mistake. |
| 68 | * HeroicSacrifice: He pulls one inside the Trojan horse to save Sherman and Penny. [[spoiler:DisneyDeath Turns out Sherman and Penny left too early since he comes back to the past present anyway]]. |
| 69 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: Mr. Peabody throws a fencing foil at a sewer wall while escaping the violent rebels during the French Revolution. Said rebels scoff at him for missing, only to gape in horror as it's revealed that Peabody had intentionally thrown the sword at a fault in the wall that caused the entire corridor to flood. To quote the dog himself: |
| 70 | -->'''Mr. Peabody:''' I ''never'' miss. |
| 71 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: He does his best to keep Sherman out of trouble, but at the cost of making him very socially-awkward. |
| 72 | * InsufferableGenius: Being a mild example is why he wasn't adopted as a pup (though it was interpreted as sarcasm). |
| 73 | * IntellectualAnimal: He's a dog and one of the most intelligent beings in the world. |
| 74 | * IUhYouToo: Mr. Peabody initially can't bring himself to say "I love you" to Sherman. He gets over it by the end, and Sherman playfully makes it clear that he always understood. |
| 75 | * JockDadNerdSon: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Both he and Sherman are equally nerdy, but the former has won two Olympic medals and is a master fencer; the latter isn't accustomed to any physical sport[[note]]He is pictured in a baseball uniform however as seen on the wall[[/note]]. |
| 76 | * TheKlutz: Not as much as Sherman, mind you, but he can be pretty funny at this (to the point of making Mona Lisa smile). |
| 77 | * LastNameBasis: Peabody usually goes with Mr. Peabody. His first name is Hector according to the ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'' Stamp Club Promotion Episode (It's a reference to the old-time saying "when Hector was a pup"). This is never mentioned in the film, though. |
| 78 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: Sherman went into straight despair when he thought Peabody died. |
| 79 | * LovableNerd: He loves all things science-y. |
| 80 | * MasterSwordsman: Peabody's main battle ability. |
| 81 | * MyBelovedSmother: A male variant. He does love his son dearly, but Peabody is too overprotective of him and often doesn't support Sherman when he deserves it. This is especially called out by Penny. And later Sherman calls Peabody out for not telling him that Grunion was threatening to split them apart. Peabody does learn his lesson. |
| 82 | * MundaneUtility: His primary motivation for building a time machine: get his son a head start in elementary school history. |
| 83 | * NerdGlasses: Just like Sherman. |
| 84 | * NervesOfSteel: He can usually be counted on to keep his head in tight spots (unless Sherman is in any sort of danger). |
| 85 | * NonIdleRich: He may hold a great fortune, but he's still TheAce, and a {{Good Parent|s}}, too. |
| 86 | * NotQuiteDead: He manages to escape unscathed from his HeroicSacrifice and return to the present. |
| 87 | * NiceGuy: Let's look at why he qualifies: |
| 88 | ** Dedicated his life to helping humanity. |
| 89 | ** Adopted a baby human (Sherman, of course) to the surprise of everyone else (see image quote). |
| 90 | ** Pulled a HeroicSacrifice to save his son and his friend. |
| 91 | ** In a subtle note, in the two Peabodys and Shermans scene, Future!Peabody calls for both Sherman and Penny, when you know that Peabody probably could have just called the former. It's a rather sweet note that Peabody has grown used to Penny's presence and wanted her help as well. |
| 92 | * OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Mr. Peabody excels in several areas of science, most notably Physics, Engineering and Anthropology/History, plus mastering various artistic and athletic disciplines. |
| 93 | * {{Omniglot}}: During the course of the movie he demonstrates knowledge of French, Swahili, and Egyptian; and his planned curriculum for his elementary school age son indicates he fully intends for Sherman to become one as well. |
| 94 | * PapaWolf: Best demonstrated when he bites Grunion for hurting Sherman. |
| 95 | * ParentalSubstitute: Much to everyone's shock, Peabody demonstrated that a dog could be a suitable parent for a human. |
| 96 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: Biting Mrs. Grunion when [[PapaWolf she was hurting his adopted child while taking him away from him]]. |
| 97 | %%* ThePhilosopher |
| 98 | * ProudToBeAGeek: Peabody loves all things science and history, and isn't ashamed of it once. |
| 99 | * PungeonMaster: He makes many puns in spite of Sherman hardly understanding any of them. |
| 100 | * RedIsHeroic: Wears his trademark red bowtie and is a heroic character. |
| 101 | %%* RedOniBlueOni: The calm Blue to Sherman's excited Red. |
| 102 | * RenaissanceMan: He devoted himself to the pursuit of knowledge and became active in many fields such as science and athletics, was able to produce alternative energy technologies, resolve geopolitical conflicts, play any musical instrument, is a licensed chiropractor, and a master gourmand. |
| 103 | * SelfMadeMan: Well, dog, but Mr. Peabody is fabulously wealthy thanks to his own investments and inventions as well as his status as a captain of industry. |
| 104 | %%* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Manly Man to Sherman's Sensitive Guy. |
| 105 | * SherlockScan: He tends to take in the environment, calculating odds and trajectories in seconds, before using that info to do something badass. |
| 106 | * ShipperOnDeck: Teased Sherman over being jealous of Penny's marriage to King Tut. |
| 107 | * TheSmartGuy: Really smart. The smartest being in the world more than likely. |
| 108 | * SmartPeopleWearGlasses: More like "Smart Dogs Wear Glasses". |
| 109 | %%* TheSpock: To him, even humour has a scientific explanation. [[spoiler:Turns out it doesn't]]. |
| 110 | * TalkingAnimal: He seems to be the only talking dog around in the movie. |
| 111 | * TimeTravel: On top of all his other achievements, he invented the WABAC, the first TimeMachine. |
| 112 | * VerbalTic: He's a PungeonMaster, and has a habit of making puns regarding history when the moment shows itself. |
| 113 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: His overprotective stance towards Sherman. |
| 114 | * WouldHitAGirl: He bites Ms. Grunion for [[PapaWolf harming Sherman]]. |

| 121 | |
| 122 | The seven (and a half!) year old adopted son of Mr. Peabody. He's the bumbling and taciturn one of the duo. |

| 129 | * BadassFamily: When he and Peabody work together. |
| 130 | * BadassPacifist: Saved Mr. Peabody by starting a "I'm a dog" movement. |
| 131 | * BelligerentSexualTension: Him and Penny hate each other at the beginning of the movie, but they end up having feelings for each other at the end. |

| 133 | * BigEater: Someone likes cake more than Marie Antoinette does. |
| 134 | * ButtMonkey: His father doesn't appreciate him properly and gets picked on for just showing off at class. |
| 135 | * BreakTheCutie: Thrice. |
| 136 | ** When Sherman is humiliated by Penny in the lunch room, he looks downright miserable when he goes to get his sandwich back. |
| 137 | ** His emotional outburst during the black hole disaster. |
| 138 | ** His most moving breakdown, however, is when Peabody is presumed dead. |

| 140 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "I don't get it." |
| 141 | * CheerfulChild: He has a naturally upbeat disposition and loves to spend time with his father. |
| 142 | %%* ClassicalAntiHero |
| 143 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: He doesn't really get Mr. Peabody's puns. |
| 144 | * ConstantlyCurious: He loves to ask questions whenever he and Mr. Peabody travel to the past. |
| 145 | * CrazyJealousGuy: He displays some traits of this towards Penny ([[DownplayedTrope not the "crazy" part of course]]). He even wiped Tut off [[BrickJoke after crashing into the WABAC's windshield]]. |
| 146 | * CulturedBadass: He has been immersed in a huge variety of cultures from throughout Human history since he was a baby. |
| 147 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Has matching reddish-brown eyes and hair. |

| 151 | * DorkKnight: Becomes this in Ancient Egypt (when he saves Penny from King Tut) and in the Trojan Wars (when he enlists to make Mr. Peabody proud). |

| 155 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Melancholic/Phlegmatic ([[ThinkOfTheChildren mostly in terms of mannerisms]], [[BreakTheCutie though he does]] [[HeroicBSOD feel miserable sometimes]]) -- {{Socially awkward|Hero}}, [[{{Bookworm}} bookish to a fault]], [[TheIdealist idealistic]], [[NervousWreck somewhat nervous and worrisome as well]]. |
| 156 | * GeniusDitz: He's a clumsy and silly kid, but certainly his father's son. He has a more advanced vocabulary than his teacher, and joins the Robotics club post-movie. |
| 157 | %%* GentlemanAndAScholar |
| 158 | * GotMeDoingIt: Even Sherman makes puns thanks to his father's knack of them. While having lunch with his classmates, one student offers to show Sherman his model of a hydrogen atom, prompting Sherman to quip, "You only have one? I guess we'll have to split it." |
| 159 | * HappilyAdopted: By Mr. Peabody. |
| 160 | * TheHeart: He is very sensitive. |
| 161 | * HehHehYouSaidX: Sherman's response to the classic booby trap joke. |

| 164 | * HonorBeforeReason: When Sherman was being literally treated like a dog, he decided to play Penny's game as well by biting her. |
| 165 | * HotBlooded: Has his moments (see BreakTheCutie above). |
| 166 | * TheIdealist: Always in good disposition to make good, always regretting mistakes. |
| 167 | * ImprobableAge: His official age is seven, but considering the kind of things he does in the movie you get the impression he is much older than that. |
| 168 | * InnocentProdigy: He may not seem that smart and sometimes has difficulty with human relationships, but he is ''very'' well taught by Mr. Peabody. |
| 169 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: |
| 170 | -->'''Sherman:''' I am ''not'' a dog! |
| 171 | -->'''Peabody:''' Of course you're not a dog, but you are a very bad boy! |
| 172 | * TheKlutz: He ends up falling on his face several times. |
| 173 | * LargeHam: Gets into this territory during the black hole scene. |
| 174 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: Mr. Peabody couldn't bear to lose his son. |
| 175 | * LovableNerd: Just like his dad, with his dorky appearance, innocence, and clumsiness. He also blushes briefly and is almost left speechless when [[spoiler:Penny finally hugs him]]. |
| 176 | * LoveMakesYouDumb: When inside the pyramid, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial he denies liking Penny]]. Cue him daydreaming he's brushing her hair. |
| 177 | * NaiveNewcomer: The movie is set around his first day at school. |
| 178 | * NerdGlasses: Just like Mr. Peabody. |
| 179 | * NiceGuy: A happy and upbeat kid. |
| 180 | * NoSocialSkills: The main reason he bit Penny. |
| 181 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: He looks much more cartoon-ish than the rest of the human characters (save for Mrs. Grunion). This becomes specially notorious whenever he is with Penny. |
| 182 | * ObliviousToLove: He doesn't realise how goofy he's acting when trying to convince that Penny doesn't mean much to him. |
| 183 | * ParentalAbandonment: His birth parents just left him in a cardboard box in an alley way. [[CueTheRain While it was raining]]. Luckily, he was found by Mr. Peabody. |
| 184 | %%* ProudToBeAGeek: Even more so than his dad. |
| 185 | * PuppyLove: Develops a crush on Penny. |
| 186 | %%* RedOniBlueOni: The Red[[note]]his hair is appropriately reddish[[/note]] to Mr. Peabody's blue. |
| 187 | %%* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Sensitive Guy to Mr. Peabody's Manly Man. |
| 188 | * ShrinkingViolet: Sherman is a rare male variant, however he somewhat gets out of his shell eventually. |
| 189 | * SneakyDeparture: He vanishes after the WABAC crashes in Ancient Greece, just before signing up for the war. |
| 190 | * SkywardScream: He yells "DAAAD!" after he thinks Mr. Peabody didn't make it. |
| 191 | * SmallParentHugeChild: Downplayed; Sherman is Mr. Peabody's adopted human son who is only a little taller than him. |
| 192 | %%* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Sherman wears dorky glasses and proves that he is Mr. Peabody's son. |
| 193 | * SociallyAwkwardHero: He is not ''really'' accustomed to interacting with other people, let alone other kids his age... |
| 194 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: We get to know this aspect of his personality when the climax starts. |
| 195 | -->'''Sherman (referring to Mr. Peabody in front of the Spartans):''' I thought I knew him... |
| 196 | * SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: When Sherman denies having a crush on Penny. |
| 197 | -->'''Sherman''': Gimme a break! It's not like I want to [[ChastityCouple hold her hand... and go to the park... and watch her while she brushes her hair...]] |
| 198 | -->'''Mr. Peabody''': ''(Looks at Sherman slyly)'' |
| 199 | -->'''Sherman''': ...Or anything! |
| 200 | * TookALevelInBadass: He saves his father from Ms. Grunion's wrath, pilots the WABAC in the climax, brings Peabody to reconsider his fears and doubts of letting him be more reliable and finally speaking his unconditional love for his father out loud for the very first time. |
| 201 | %%* {{Tsundere}}: Initially, Sherman is Type B for Penny. |
| 202 | * UptightLovesWild: A (mostly) platonic example between the meek Sherman and the fun-loving Penny. |
| 203 | * WiseBeyondTheirYears: His emotional speech towards the end of the movie makes this trope bold, and doesn't indicate that he's only intelligent beyond his years. |
| 204 | * WouldHitAGirl: Out of desperation and fear, he bit Penny because she put him into a headlock. Though to be fair, it was a matter of self defense. |
| 205 | * WhamLine: After wrecking [=DaVinci's=] proto, Mr. Peabody is scandalised by his son's "crazy" behaviour, with Sherman's statement that he wasn't a "loser" anymore (something that Penny actually said) being the last straw for a father-and-son row regarding responsibilities (specially because Peabody didn't say a word about Mrs. Grunion), which ended up with Sherman saying "I am NOT a dog!"... |
| 206 | * YouAreNotMyFather: [[InnocentlyInsensitive While he didn't mean to say it that way]], that's how Mr. Peabody got Sherman's WhamLine. |

| 212 | [[caption-width-right:218:''"Your dad's a dog, so you're a dog too."'']] |
| 213 | |
| 214 | Penny is Sherman's perky classmate. She starts as Sherman's rival turned best friend and crush. |
| 215 | ---- |
| 216 | * AcademicAlphaBitch: At first. She starts bullying Sherman after getting shown up in history class. |
| 217 | * AlliterativeName: '''P'''enny '''P'''eterson. |
| 218 | * BelligerentSexualTension: She bullies Sherman and he hates her for it at the start of the movie, but they love each other at the end. |
| 219 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: After Sherman bit her, she ''really'' looked like the only victim, even if she was the one to start it all. |
| 220 | * BrattyHalfPint: Oh so much; she begins her introduction making disparaging remarks against Sherman about being adopted by a dog... just because he answered a class question before she did. She changes though. |
| 221 | * BreakTheHaughty: Loses a lot of her snottiness after almost being forced into marriage and much more. |
| 222 | * BrightIsNotGood: Initially -- She wears bright pink clothing, but she is not a very sweet girl. However, thanks to CharacterDevelopment, she grows to avert this trope. |
| 223 | * CanonForeigner: Created specifically for the movie adaption. |
| 224 | * CharacterDevelopment: She started off as a bratty, bigoted bully to Sherman and Mr. Peabody and ended becoming a nicer, open-minded friend to the Peabodys. |
| 225 | * ConstantlyCurious: Even more so (and a dangerous version) than Sherman. |
| 226 | * DaddysGirl: Heavily implied when Paul gets right into Peabody's face saying that nothing is more important than his daughter. Yeah, he did get distracted by a survey, but there's no doubt that he meant what he said. |
| 227 | * DamselInDistress: Spends the entire half of the movie getting rescued by Peabody and Sherman. |
| 228 | * DefrostingIceQueen: Started off as aggressive and dismissive towards Sherman. She ends up becoming his best friend and crush. |
| 229 | * DisproportionateRetribution: Simply because she got an answer wrong no thanks to [[WiseBeyondHisYears Sherman]], she resorts to publicly humiliating him in the lunchroom. |
| 230 | * DitzyGenius: She gets good grades in school, but doesn't have good common sense. |
| 231 | * DudeMagnet: Invoked -- Spends a good amount of time being chased by King Tut and Sherman has a very badly hidden crush on her. |
| 232 | * DumbBlonde: She is at least [[DitzyGenius dumb in common sense]], one of the reasons why she keeps getting herself and Sherman into trouble. |
| 233 | * EasilyForgiven: Neither Sherman nor Mr. Peabody hold any ill feelings towards her for her initial bitchiness. Granted, she became nicer in the end, but still. |
| 234 | * EveryoneHasStandards: While Penny had been quite the bully, by the time things came to a head, she didn't want Sherman to be taken away from Mr. Peabody. |
| 235 | * {{Expy}}: Penny is a lot like [[WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius Cindy Vortex]] from her appearance to her personality to becoming envious of the "boy genius" of the class and eventually (sort of) falling in love with him. |
| 236 | * FantasticRacism: Implied (see the image quote). Thankfully, she does grow out of it. |
| 237 | * FireForgedFriends: She and Sherman start to get along after the former is saved by the latter from a marriage. |
| 238 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Sanguine -- [[FunPersonified Upbeat and impulsive]], also somewhat vain, [[DefrostingIceQueen although she feels true compassion for Sherman]] when he thinks Mr. Peabody died. |
| 239 | * GenkiGirl: Especially during the latter half of the Da Vinci scene. |
| 240 | * GoldDigger: Penny plans to marry King Tut knowing he dies young, intending to get all his riches. However, she didn't know that wives of the pharaoh are condemned to death when he dies. |
| 241 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Initially averted, but she comes to play this trope straight. |
| 242 | * HeelRealization: She begins to feel guilty after Sherman's SneakyDeparture. |
| 243 | * IcyBlueEyes: Especially at the beginning (specially in [[BitchInSheepsClothing the pictures after the biting.]]) |
| 244 | * ImprobableAge: She's also seven, but acts even less like it than Sherman, save for the selfish immaturity being natural for her age. |
| 245 | * ItsAllAboutMe: One of the reasons she's so much of a egotistical jerk at first. She didn't care how hard she makes things for Sherman and his dad, so long as she gets to indulge in her grudge, have fun, and look good. She grows out of this more as the movie progresses and stops hating Sherman after being rescued by him in Egypt. |
| 246 | * ItsAllMyFault: She finally admits this when Ms. Grunion is about to take Sherman away from Mr. Peabody. |
| 247 | * {{Jerkass}}: Humiliated Sherman during lunch just because he corrected her over a historical fact. |
| 248 | * JerkassRealization: After seeing Ms. Grunion take away Sherman, she realizes how horrible she was to him. |
| 249 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She ended up becoming the best friend and love interest to bring out Sherman from his shell. |
| 250 | * LikeParentLikeChild: She may have her mother's looks, but she has her father's personality. |
| 251 | * LittleMissSnarker: Never misses a chance to snark. |
| 252 | -->'''Sherman''': Mr. Peabody says you should never use the [=WABAC=] to travel to a time when you existed.\ |
| 253 | '''Penny''': How come?\ |
| 254 | '''Sherman''': There will be two of you.\ |
| 255 | '''Penny''': Oohhh... yeah. I guess the world's not ready for that. |
| 256 | * LovableAlphaBitch: She gets a lot more sympathetic thanks to CharacterDevelopment. |
| 257 | %%* LoveInterest: Becomes this for Sherman |
| 258 | * ManicPixieDreamGirl: Becomes this for Sherman. Peabody's disgust regarding this leads to a heated argument that in turn marks the beginning of the climax. |
| 259 | * TheMillstone: She does cause a lot of trouble throughout the movie. |
| 260 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: See ItsAllMyFault. She never wanted to have Mr. Peabody to be taken away from Sherman. |
| 261 | * NeverMyFault: Penny tends not to accept responsibility for her actions; she clearly blamed Sherman for biting her, even though she all but forced him to, and when Mr. Peabody admonished her for turning Sherman into a "hooligan", she blew him off, claiming it wasn't her fault he was a hooligan. |
| 262 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: She's clearly designed to resemble Music/TaylorSwift. |
| 263 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Penny's full first name is actually "Penelope". |
| 264 | * OhCrap: When she realizes marrying the young prince of Egypt means her heart will get carved out and she will become a mummy the moment her husband dies first before she does. Doesn't help things her boyfriend historically dies young. |
| 265 | * PetTheDog: |
| 266 | ** Shows sympathy for Sherman when Mr. Peabody supposedly dies. |
| 267 | ** Tells Mrs. Grunion that it was ''her'' fault the fight happened to prevent the two from getting separated, though Mrs. Grunion still didn't care. |
| 268 | * PinkMeansFeminine: Her signature clothing is a bright, pink dress and she has been shown to be girly. |
| 269 | %%* PluckyGirl: |
| 270 | * PuppyLove: Develops a crush (although not as notorious) on Sherman. |
| 271 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Becomes the "Energetic" to Sherman's "Savvy" as soon as they get acquainted to each other. Mr. Peabody doesn't take it very well. |
| 272 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Penny develops a crush on [[LovableNerd Sherman]] after he, along with his dad, saves her life by preventing her from being forced into a doomed marriage with King Tut. |
| 273 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only girl (and newcomer) to the main team. |
| 274 | * SpoiledBrat: Her parents spoiled her and she bullied Sherman at lunchtime, just for him being right. She does get better though. |
| 275 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: Penny is a smaller version of her mother, Patty. |
| 276 | * TookALevelInKindness: Went from being a bully to Sherman to his best friend (and love interest). |
| 277 | * ToxicFriendInfluence: While they weren't quite friends at the time, it was Penny who convinced Sherman to play around in Da Vinci's workshop. Mr. Peabody firmly believed this trope was in play, blaming Penny for what happened after. |
| 278 | * {{Tritagonist}}: Of the movie adaption. |
| 279 | * {{Tsundere}}: Initially, Penny is Type A for Sherman. She acts quite antagonistic to him; later on, Penny starts acting sweeter to him. |
| 280 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The main plot of the movie could all have been averted if this little brat hadn't gotten jealous of Sherman in class. |
| 281 | * UpperClassTwit: Kinda, most notably on the "dog whistle" and the "Egyptian wedding" scenes. However, she grows to avert this. |
| 282 | * WellDoneDaughterGirl: {{Implied|Trope}}. The creators stated that Penny's competitive cynicism derives from her father; a few scenes later we see that Paul can be a DisappearedDad occasionally. So, besides Penny's (initial) snottiness, the other probable reason she strives to be the top student of her school is to get her father's attention. |

| 286 | [[quoteright:189:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paul_ptersoon.png]] |
| 287 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/StephenColbert |
| 288 | |
| 289 | Penny's father and Patty's husband. He was more inclined to file charges and acts quite dismissive to the Peabodys. |
| 290 | ---- |
| 291 | * AlliterativeName: '''P'''aul '''P'''eterson. |
| 292 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Paul was initially aloof and distant to Mr. Peabody and his attempts to make amends. He started to warm up to him after he fixed his back pains. |
| 293 | %%* DeadpanSnarker: Who do you think taught Penny? |
| 294 | * DefrostingIceKing: At first he doesn't like Peabody, and ignores his attempts befriend him. It isn't until Mr. Peabody fixes his back that Paul fully begins to like Peabody. [[spoiler:He warmed up to Peabody show much that he joins in the "I'm a dog" moment.]] |
| 295 | * DisappearedDad: {{Zigzagged|Trope}}. Paul Peterson gets right into Peabody's face saying that nothing is more important than his daughter. He is immediately interrupted by his phone ringing, and stealing his attention with a survey. But when all is said and done, he's neither attentive nor inattentive. |
| 296 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Choleric -- Brash, rude, stubborn, but also quite laid-back and confident (and a bit braggy). |
| 297 | * GreenEyedMonster: It's heavily implied that Patty is a big fan of Mr. Peabody, so it can be further implied that Paul's initial resentment of Peabody wasn't just about the incident with their kids, but also because he's jealous of Patty admiring Mr. Peabody. |
| 298 | * HappilyMarried: While his and Patty's marriage isn't fully shown, there are snippets that show that they are close with one another (in spite of Paul's occasional inattentiveness). A few moments include Paul respecting Patty's wish to not press charges against the Peabodys, their romantic dancing, both of them curling up with one another during the climax, and holding hands post-climax. |
| 299 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 300 | ** The creators confirmed that [[AcademicAlphaBitch Penny's personality]] [[LikeFatherLikeSon stems from her father.]] With that said, Paul even stated that he would have pressed charges, but didn't because Patty asked for him not to. |
| 301 | ** He appears to have an extensive knowledge with different kinds of music, dances, and instruments. |
| 302 | ** Paul was quick to understand Peabody's explanation of what happened to the other Sherman and Peabody, when both Shermans and Peabodys fused. Extra points are given when he understands the explanation even though Peabody is noticeably tired and his voice is somewhat barely audible. |
| 303 | * HonorBeforeReason: He almost presses charges on the Peabodys immediately after the "bite incident". It's only after his wife advises him to try to patch up things with them first. |
| 304 | * InkSuitActor: Minus the glasses, Paul resembles his VA a lot. They even have similar hairstyles. |
| 305 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: An overconfident father, who can be inattentive to both his wife and daughter, and comes off as rude, condescending and insensitive to strangers. However, he also loves his family dearly and was part of the "I'm a dog" scene in order to help Peabody, even though he's only befriended Peabody for only a couple of hours and didn't even like him in the first place. |
| 306 | * NoSenseOfHumor: More like TheStoic. His wife admits he's "not much of a laugher". |
| 307 | * PapaWolf: Even with his {{Disappeared Dad}}-like status, Paul is very protective of Penny. This was best seen when Penny disappeared (after Sherman lost her in Ancient Egypt), and ''angrily'' demanded what the Peabodys did to his and Patty's daughter. |
| 308 | %%* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything |
| 309 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The grumpy Savvy Guy to Patty's bubbly Energetic Girl. |

| 312 | -->'''Mr. Peterson:''' So he's ''literally'' a dog? |
| 313 | * TallDarkAndSnarky: He's tall, brunet, and has a lot of dry wit. |
| 314 | * TookALevelInKindness: Couldn't care for Mr. Peabody at first. Ended up in the "I'm a dog" movement to help him out. |

| 327 | * FlatCharacter: Downplayed, although she is by far the least rounded-out of the main ensemble. |
| 328 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Phlegmatic -- Wanting to avoid conflict (see MoralityChain), easygoing and somewhat bubbly. |
| 329 | * GenkiGirl: Patty is quite the bubbly woman. |
| 330 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: See the NiceGirl section and the fact that she a lighter shade of blonde hair than Penny's. |
| 331 | * HappilyMarried: While her and Paul's marriage isn't fully shown, there are snippets that show that they are close with one another (in spite of Paul's occasional inattentiveness). A few moments include Paul respecting Patty's wish to not press charges against the Peabodys, their romantic dancing, both of them curling up with one another during the climax, and holding hands post-climax. |
| 332 | * HartmanHips: Has curvy hips. |
| 333 | * InnocentBlueEyes: A rare adult version; to symbolize her friendly nature. |
| 334 | * InSeriesNickname: Her full name is actually "Patricia Peterson". |
| 335 | * MeaningfulName: Patty's full name "Patricia" is Latin for "a patrician" which is a person of upper class, something that the Petersons are. |
| 336 | * MoralityPet: {{Implied|Trope}} to be this to her husband, Paul. The only reason that he didn't press charges against the Peabodys was because she asked him not to. |
| 337 | * NiceGirl: The (initially) only one of the Petersons that act respectfully to the Peabodys and didn't want to press charges because she genuinely wanted to amend what happened. |
| 338 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The bubbly Energetic Girl to Paul's grumpy Savvy Guy. |

| 344 | [[caption-width-right:350:''"I will see to it that Sherman is removed from your custody. ''Permanently''."'']] |
| 345 | -> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/AllisonJanney |
| 346 | |
| 347 | The social worker with an IrrationalHatred of Mr. Peabody. Her goal is to remove Sherman from Mr. Peabody's custody. She serves as the [[BigBad main antagonist]]. |
| 348 | ---- |
| 349 | * BigBad: She's the primary antagonist of the film, with her intent to take Sherman away from Mr. Peabody. |
| 350 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: She acts like she wants to take Sherman away because she cares about his well being, but it's really the opposite. |
| 351 | * {{Expy}}: Let's see; Mrs. Grunion dresses in pink, loves cats, pretends to be a good person who does what she does out of the best intentions, while she's actually a BitchInSheepsClothing who acts mostly out of selfish reasons and FantasticRacism. Now, [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix Where have we seen that before?]] |
| 352 | * FatBitch: She's heavyset and only tries to separate Mr. Peabody and Sherman just to ruin their lives. |
| 353 | * ForTheEvulz: Has ''no'' reason for trying to keep Mr. Peabody and Sherman apart. |
| 354 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Choleric -- Has an irrational dislike for Mr. Peabody. |
| 355 | * HateSink: She is a despicable social worker who was willing to have Mr. Peabody executed by animal control after the latter rightfully bites her for assaulting Sherman. |
| 356 | * ImmuneToMindControl: Unlike Paul and Patty Peterson, Ms. Grunion was able to withstand Mr. Peabody's hypnosis technique. |
| 357 | * IrrationalHatred: She despises Mr. Peabody for reasons that are never clearly defined, save for a brief rant she makes about how he "bamboozled the world" with his "fancy jargon" and "little red tie." |
| 358 | * KarmaHoudini: Despite the fact that she is clearly the antagonist of the movie, she ends up marrying King Agamemnon, giving her a happy ending that she probably doesn't deserve. Though, she's at least out of harms way and will no longer be able to threaten Mr. Peabody or anyone else for that matter. |
| 359 | ** For anyone familiar with Greek tragedy and the history of the Trojan War, the last time Agamemnon tried to bring home a 'spear bride', his ''real'' wife murdered him and her. |
| 360 | * KindheartedCatLover: {{Zig Zagged}} She has a lot of cats, but she's anything but kind. |
| 361 | * KickTheDog: [[MoralEventHorizon She attacks Sherman at one point]]. |
| 362 | * LargeHam: Look at her quote. She talks that way the whole time. |
| 363 | * LastNameBasis: We never learn her first name in the movie. |
| 364 | * AMatchMadeInStockholm: Agamemnon grabs her just before getting sucked back to ancient Greece. Their wedding is shown in the epilogue. |
| 365 | * NoNameGiven: Her first name is never revealed. |
| 366 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: She looks like a witch, and she acts just like one. |
| 367 | * ShutUpHannibal: Peabody bites her after she hurt Sherman. |
| 368 | * TrappedInThePast: Her final fate, but given that she marries her love interest there, it's questionable if this is really a punishment for her or not. |
| 369 | * WouldHurtAChild: Roughly grabs Sherman's arm. [[PapaWolf Too bad Peabody was on the spot]]. |

| 391 | * NiceGuy: Da Vinci is depicted as a pretty easygoing guy and a good friend of Peabody's - he is only ever seen angry when Mona Lisa refuses to smile. Even after Sherman breaks his prototype plane, he doesn't hold it against him, he is just happy that it worked and thinks that children should have freedom to enjoy their childhood. |
