Brought my 2 1/2 yr old to see this in the movie. It was his 1st movie, it was free so I figured if he didnt sit still we would just leave the theater. Well, he sat and watched it from beginning to end. Wouldnt leave until every last name went by in the credits. Got to buy the DVD now.

What Parents Need to Know
About Curious George (2006)
Parents need to know that there isn't a lot to be concerned about here. There are some product placements, some flirting, moral ambiguity, and an emotionally intense scene in which George is removed -- at the Man in the Yellow Hat's request -- by animal control. One man schemes to replace a museum with a profitable parking lot. Ted himself tries to fool the museum patrons with a fraud, something he is not punished for. An apartment building manager roughly chases the monkey from room to room, then evicts Ted, who has to sleep on a park bench that night.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what they liked about the movie and if anything scared them. They can ask what makes George so curious. Is he a troublemaker or does he just act like a kid? Older kids can talk about how Ted's relationship with George changes -- what does Ted realize George brings to his life? Families could also compare this movie to the books upon which it's based, and about which one they prefer and why.

"Perfect for any kid."
I wish I could have seen this in theaters. The animation was superb and the story was pretty good. its no argument that this movie is perfect for all ages, and for anyone who likes monkeys.

The best, but not as Christian as it should be (no offense)
It was a very good movie. It has good messages, but it also has commercialism. There is a lot of talk about Zagawa, an idol, which is against the Ten Commandments, but it was good.

Enjoyable despite multiple viewings
Our boys loves this and watch it repeatedly. Despite the multiple (and multiple) viewings, it's still very sweet and enjoyable. The songs grew on us too.

We didn't like it.
By the time the man in the yellow hat was in the dinosaurs mouth and all the talk about the idol having magical powers my 3 year old twin were scared and wanted to turn it off so we never even finished the movie.

Great movie for toddlers & their parents
My two year old actually sat through the whole movie at the theater and laugh so much, other adults started laughing with him. He also loves the soundtrack from Jack Johnson.

Monkey Mania
I love the movie and the show too and at the begining of themovie watched the movie on On Demand it cost money but it was worth it.

Very very cute!!
I don't actually like the Curious George book because I am a primatologist and the man with the yellow hat just takes George from Africa. Well, they solved that problem in this movie, and it's very well done! It's a very cute and fun movie and my preschooler loves it and laughs a lot, and there is nothing objectionable in this movie. Just good old-fashioned fun and a cute story.

Great family feel good movie, with few "scary" scenes
We really enjoyed this movie with our 3 year old and 5 year old children. George is adorable and so are the adults in the film. My 3 year old was a little concerned about the very large doorman who get angry about having a monkey in the building and he was a little worried about the thunder and lightening but luckily neither of those scenes last for too long.

Love the Monkey!
My three year old loves the PBS show Curious George so when this showed up on HBO we taped it and he has seen it a thousand times. He giggles and laughs and my 7 year old actually likes it. My husband and I like it to. In the end it is people that matter the most. I think the man learned the most in the movie. GREAT GREAT family movie!

One of the best
I'm 13 and 1/2 now, and I loved this movie. It's perfect for any age. I fail to see how this gets 3 stars instead of 5. I think the American public should take a break from sex and violence and watch this. Don't get me wrong, I love American Pie and Deuce Bigalow as much as the next guy. However, It's sometimes good to watch a kid movie every once and a while. No matter who you are, SEE THIS MOVIE!!!
