Just wanted to mention this great gem. The colours were amazing and it was a traditional styled cartoon (no special effects to distract from the storyline). My four year old and his friend enjoyed it so much. One child even cried when it looked like George lost his friend. Such a wonderful simplistic story about friendship and exploration. I highly recommend it for young children.

Totally agree! This is a great film for the toddler and pre-school crowd. It would be a good first movie for a kid that age that has never been. My 4 year old loved it.

i have to go see it so i can wear one of my curious george shirts!! i've had them for years, but now people really notice! i really am not a cartoon person at all, but i may have to see this. my preschoolers loved the curious george books year after year. ninja turtles came and went, barney came and went, dora's still pretty hot, but curious george is timeless! one day, the kids were out at recess and a city worker was mowing the park lawn. he was wearing a yellow-orange hat with a brim. a little boy got all excited and yelled, "there's the man in the yellow hat!" all the kids squealed with delight. i'm sure they thought george would appear next

I hope he was wearing more than just the hat.

well, ketch, you know how kids are! they probably wouldn't have noticed as long as he had the yellow hat on! i remember one of the preschoolers putting his dinosaurs down the front of his swimtrunks when it was time for sharing. all the other kids had their sharing under their chairs. well, the kid started to take the dinosaurs out, "one dinosaur, two dinosaurs, three dinosaurs, and my pee pee." and yes, he pulled that out of the trunks, also... although my aide almost fainted, we didn't need to fear. the other kids just said, "put it away. it's not your turn to share yet!"

I saw this last week with my 3 year old niece (she'll be 4 in April) and 20-month old nephew. I thought it was utterly charming and just the (movie) ticket for very small children. (And when they're older you can use the movie to illustrate the debate over taking antiquities and animals out of their home countries, j/k !) I did like the old school 2D animation that was so like the books' artwork, and had that song "Upside Down" in my head for days. Some very good voice acting too, especially from Will Ferrell and David Cross. I only got to read a couple of the books as a kid. There also was a recent nonfiction account of how George's creators fled their homeland to escape the German army. Trailers: HOOT, Aquamarine, Ice Age 2, The Wild
