These episodes have been transferred to DVD in the original full screen format in 1.33:1 aspect ratio. The audio track is an English Dolby Digital 2.0 mono track. Now these transfers sadly do not feature any kind of restoration. The specks and imperfections saw in the picture all through the years are visible here. But the pictures are free of any digital artifacts. So at least there is that. 

This 2-disc set features all 91 of the 5-minute episodes on DVD. That is over 7 and a half hours of classic cartoon entertainment. Now for bonus features. It is void of any kind of bonus features at all. There is no making of featurette, interviews, nothing. That is extremely disappointing. Plus, it would have been nice to see a restored Blu-ray release. Maybe someday!

In conclusion, Mr. Peabody and Sherman: The Complete Collection on DVD is a must-have for fans of classic animation and witty, time-traveling humor. Featuring all 91 original segments from Peabody’s Improbable History, this set offers a nostalgic return to one’s childhood. You can order a copy of this DVD set for your home video library at
Amazon or Physical Media Land today.
