Meet the Robinsons (2007)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Stephen J. Anderson
Starring: Angela Bassett, Daniel Hansen, Jordan Fry, Matthew Josten, Wesley Singerman
Continuity mistake: During the scene where Lewis is first on the roof-top, and Mildred comes up to speak with him, the box he is sitting next to is plain wood on one side, and tallied on the other. When there is a close-up of Lewis' legs and the torn paper, when he's ripping the pages out of his book, the box has stencilled writing that is upside down. (00:06:25 - 00:18:30)
Trivia: In the closeups of Goob on the baseball field, there are two billboard advertisements on the fence behind him - one is "Jungle Book" featuring Mowgli with Baloo, and the other is "Toy Story 2" featuring Woody, Jessie, and Bullseye.
Question: Is the dog in glasses a reference to Mr. Peabody, or just a coincidence? I thought if it was, the commentary would mention it, but there was no mention of the gag at all.
Answer: There's no indication that the dog had anything to do with Mr Peabody (especially since the dog didn't speak or do anything other than sit there). It was just a front for a throwaway joke.
GrafSpee
It's a coincidence because Mr. Peabody and Sherman was not released until 2014 and Meet the Robinsons came out in 2007.
But that film is based on the Peabody's Improbable History segment from the 50s/60s TV show The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends.
