Curious George (DVD)

Curious George is a cheeky little monkey with an big grin and a knack of getting himself into trouble with the other animals because of his curiosity. They say Curiosity killed the cat, well if George isn't careful any number of animals on the jungle where he lives may just do the same to him! Ted is an intelligent man, a curator at a museum he knows everything there is to know on many different subjects, he just hasn't ever experienced live. He ...
...in New York Curious George is based on the books by Margaret and H.A Rey (look at the name of the ship Ted sails to Africa in!) and is a traditional, old style 2d animated film aimed squarely at the kids.

Curious George is a mischievous baby chimp, who is always getting himself into trouble. One day in the jungle he happens upon a friendly man in a yellow suit. Ted is a museum worker on the trail of a lost idol that could save his job and his workplace.

The bright yellow packaging of CURIOUS ...

With this reminder of his failure, Ted leaves a message for the museum's owner, that his only discovery was a real-life monkey. When he returns to work he finds the museum inundated with manic interest from the whole city eagerly awaiting the exhibition of Ted's monkey, who they have been led to believe is an extraordinary discovery ...
