Most movies have elements to make it look beautiful.. Curious George is one of those movies.The film has an understandable storyline, great voice acting done by comedic actors and a very cute George!The highlights of the film (for me) were :1. It is masterfully shot. Like when George doing some 'parkour' on the building, the camera was shooting at impressive angles.2. The lighting/shading was very impressive and appealing to viewers. I see this element on very few animated movies.It is a fun movie, George still has his curious elements, it was exciting and adventurous to watch and I give it a 10 out 10!

The man with the yellow hat is named Ted Shackleford (Will Ferrell). He works at a natural history museum. Maggie Dunlop (Drew Barrymore) keeps bringing her school kids to the museum. The owner Mr. Bloomsberry (Dick Van Dyke) needs to sell the failing museum, and his son wants to turn it into a parking lot. Ted suggests rejuvenating the museum with an exhibit of the lost Shrine of Zagawa. Mr. Bloomsberry is too old, and Ted is forced to go. Only he brings back a couple of unexpected cargo.The best things about this movie is Curious George and the Jack Johnson's music. Somehow they fit together like hand and glove. It maintains the charm and simplicity of the books. This is a sweet little movie without all the gross out humor prevalent today. George is cute, and man with the yellow hat is a likable nice guy. This is a good movie for the little kids.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie. It mayn't be an animated classic, but it is so cute, amusing, clean and charming you find it so easy to like. The traditional animation is nice and colourful, with the pretty backgrounds especially standing out, and the soundtrack is very bright and breezy. The dialogue also amuses, the opening sequence is an inspired touch and the story while thin and predictable perhaps is nice and simple, easy to follow and goes along at a cracking pace thanks to George's mishaps. Not only that, it sticks to the spirit of the terrific books. The characters are engaging, especially George who is just adorable and steals every scene he's in. The voice work overall is terrific, Will Ferrell I am not a fan of but he does a solid job voicing a likable character, Drew Barrymore is appealing and it is a delight hearing Dick Van Dyke again. In fact, Curious George's only real problem, or so in my view, is that it is too short. In conclusion though, it is delightful. 8/10 Bethany Cox

I thought I would be bored out of my SKULL seeing this, but I really enjoyed a lot of this movie. I am glad I watched this with some friends and their siblings, and by the end of it we were all pretty cheerful, Curious George is such a gentle, light feel-good movie! Ted (voiced by Will Ferrell) is a guide at a museum. He needs more fun in his life, and it comes in the form of a cute little monkey, who Ted names George, after the George Washington statue. George stowed away on Ted's boat, after Ted was sent to find some ancient shrine in Africa - and lo behold! George is now part of Ted's life. However, George is a bit difficult, and Ted's life gets more and more stressful in the process...I thought the music was the highlight of the entire movie. Jack Johnson's soulful, calm, meaningful tracks just did it for me. Each song fit in perfectly with the movie too. The animation is fantastic. Though strictly childish, it is appealing to adults too! George is ADORABLE! Just look at him! I also liked the story, it is universal, and everyone enjoys a film, rather than kids freaking out and adults sitting there bored. Curious George does not do that. Everyone enjoys.
