Despite setting the controls of the Wayback Machine for the 6th Century, Mr. Peabody and Sherman arrived in King Arthur’s Court at Camelot on Tuesday April 6, 853. Arthur bemoaned the regularity at which unfortunate events took place on “Black Tuesdays,” citing his singing sword performing out of tune and the magician Merlin forgetting the second half of “abracadabra.” As a dragon attacked the castle, soundly defeating Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table due to rusty armor, Peabody lept into action, using the dragon’s natural curiosity against it to feed it bubble gum. As it tried to breathe fire at Peabody and Sherman, it instead inflated a bubble, turning into a hot air balloon of sorts, and floating the dragon harmlessly away.
