Robert Minkoff directs this animated adventure feature in which an
ingenious talking dog and his human sidekick attempt to avert
disaster. Mr. Peabody (voice of Ty Burrell) has the achievements to
support claims that he is the smartest being on Earth. An
influential and highly successful scientist, inventor, businessman
and all round polymath, he also happens to be a dog who, in a
somewhat unusual turn of events, has adopted a human boy, Sherman
(Max Charles), to look after. However, when the curious Sherman
creates havoc with Mr. Peabody's latest invention, the WABAC
time-travelling machine, the boy and dog team must embark on an
adventure through history to try and put things right, meeting
figures including Leonardo Da Vinci (Stanley Tucci) and Sigmund
Freud (Mel Brooks) along the way. Lake Bell, Leslie Mann and
Allison Janney also lend their voices to the film.

For anyone who loves American comedy, the long wait is over. Here are the never-before-told, behind-the-scenes anecdotes and remembrances from a master storyteller, filmmaker, and creator of all things funny.
All About Me! charts Mel Brooks’s meteoric rise from a Depression-era kid in Brooklyn to the recipient of the National Medal of Arts. Whether serving in the United States Army in World War II, or during his burgeoning career as a teenage comedian in the Catskills, Mel was always mining his experiences for material, always looking for the perfect joke. His iconic career began with Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows, where he was part of the greatest writers’ room in history, which included Carl Reiner, Neil Simon, and Larry Gelbart. After co-creating both the mega-hit 2000 Year Old Man comedy albums and the classic television series Get Smart, Brooks’s stellar film career took off. He would go on to write, direct, and star in The Producers, The Twelve Chairs, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Silent Movie, High Anxiety, and Spaceballs, as well as produce groundbreaking and eclectic films, including The Elephant Man, The Fly, and My Favorite Year. Brooks then went on to conquer Broadway with his record-breaking, Tony-winning musical, The Producers.
All About Me! offers fans insight into the inspiration behind the ideas for his outstanding collection of boundary-breaking work, and offers details about the many close friendships and collaborations Brooks had, including those with Sid Caesar, Carl Reiner, Gene Wilder, Madeleine Kahn, Alfred Hitchcock, and the great love of his life, Anne Bancroft.
Filled with tales of struggle, achievement, and camaraderie (and dozens of photographs), readers will gain a more personal and deeper understanding of the incredible body of work behind one of the most accomplished and beloved entertainers in history.

A collection of children's animated adventures from the Blue Sky
studios. In 'Epic' (2013), Mary Katherine (voice of Amanda
Seyfried) lives in a cabin in the woods with her eccentric father,
Professor Bomba (Jason Sudeikis), who studies the local fauna. One
day, when he doesn't return from a hike in the forest, she sets out
to find him, inadvertently stumbling across some strange glowing
leaves. Clutching one, Mary Katherine is shrunken down to the
forest floor, where, after meeting up with a group of warriors
known as the Leafmen, she finds herself helping her new friends in
their war to save their world from the clutches of the evil
Boggans. In 'Horton Hears a Who!' (2008), a jungle elephant named
Horton (Jim Carrey) discovers a race of tiny beings living in a
solitary dandelion. Recognising the dangers they face, the friendly
pachyderm resolves to keep his microscopic pals safe. However, as
Horton is the only one who hears the inhabitants of 'Whoville', his
other animal pals are convinced he's gone crazy and resolve to do
something about it. Horton and his miniscule friends must struggle
against these impossible odds to prevent disaster. In 'Ice Age'
(2002), a group of three animals embark upon an epic journey at the
dawn of the great ice age. Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo), Manfred
the woolly mammoth (Ray Romano), and Diego the sabre-toothed tiger
(Denis Leary) team up to help return a human baby to its father,
and must risk life and limb as they traverse boiling lava pits and
travel through dangerous ice caves to complete their mission. In
'Ice Age 2: The Meltdown' (2006), Manny is ready to start a family,
but nobody has seen another mammoth for a long time; in fact, Manny
thinks he may be the last one. That is until he miraculously finds
Ellie (Queen Latifah), the only female mammoth left in the world.
The only problem is, they can't stand each other... In 'Ice Age 3:
Dawn of the Dinosaurs' (2009), Scrat the squirrel (Chris Wedge) is
still trying to get his paws on that ever-elusive nut, Manny and
Ellie anxiously await the birth of their mini-mammoth, and Diego
wonders if he's growing too laid-back living the life of a pampered
house cat. Meanwhile, Sid the sloth gets into trouble when he
creates his own makeshift family by hijacking some unusually large
eggs, and inadvertently discovers a mysterious underground world
where dinosaurs still roam. In 'Ice Age 4: Continental Drift'
(2012), when the entire continent is set adrift following a global
cataclysm, Manny, Diego and Sid find themselves separated from the
rest of the herd. Commandeering a nearby iceberg as a makeshift
boat, they take to the high seas. Fearsome sea creatures and
battlethirsty pirates are among the challenges faced by the
intrepid trio as they ride the waves of the world in search of
their family. In 'Rio' (2011), Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) is a rare
macaw living in a bookshop in small-town Minnesota. Believing
himself to be the last of his kind, he is thrilled to hear that a
female macaw of the same species has been spotted in South America.
Blu must now overcome his social ineptitude and fear of flying and
set out for Rio de Janeiro to track down the feisty and independent
Jewel (Anne Hathaway) and try to win her heart. Finally, in
'Robots' (2005), Rodney Copperbottom (Ewan McGregor) is a small
town robot who has a gift for inventing things and a hope of moving
beyond his quaint surroundings. Dreaming of doing something better
than working alongside his dad in a restaurant, Rodney, armed with
his unique talent for inventing, embarks on a journey to Robot City
to meet his idol, the majestic inventor Bigweld (Mel Brooks).
Animated comedy sequel directed by Genndy Tartakovsky. As
newly-weds Mavis (voice of Selena Gomez) and Jonathan (Andy
Samberg) start their new life as a family with their baby boy,
Mavis's father, Count Dracula (Adam Sandler), decides to open the
doors of his beloved Hotel Transylvania to human guests for the
first time. After reluctantly accepting that his vampire daughter
fell in love with a human, Dracula hoped that his grandson would be
born with natural vampiric instincts but, as the child grows, his
instincts become more and more human. Unwilling to accept that his
grandson is disinclined to follow in his footsteps, Dracula enlists
the help of his closest friends - and scariest monsters - to put
Dennis through his paces in their very own monster boot camp.

Paul Mazursky's nearly twenty films as writer/director represent
Hollywood's most sustained comic expression of the 1970s and 1980s.
But they have not been given their due, perhaps because Mazursky's
films--both sincere and ridiculous, realistic and romantic--are
pure emotion. This makes films like Bob & Carol & Ted &
Alice, An Unmarried Woman, and Enemies, A Love Story difficult to
classify, but that's what makes a human comedy human. In the first
ever book-length examination of one of America's most important and
least appreciated filmmakers, Sam Wasson sits down with Mazursky
himself to talk about his movies and how he makes them. Going over
Mazursky's oeuvre one film at a time, interviewer and interviewee
delve into the director's life in and out of Hollywood, laughing,
talking, and above all else, feeling--like Mazursky's people always
do. The book includes a filmography and never-before-seen photos.
