In this animated film, explorer Ted journeys to Africa hoping to recover an important artifact for his friend Bloomsberry, a museum director. Instead, however, he discovers an irrepressible little primate named George, who stows away on the ship back to New York City. There, Ted tries to stop plans to demolish the museum, but he has his hands full taking care of his new simian friend, whose curiosity may turn out to be more beneficial than anyone had imagined.

Critics Consensus

Curious George is a bright, sweet, faithful adaptation of the beloved children's books.

2.5/4

Director Matthew O'Callaghan and screenwriter Ken Kaufman haven't tried to create a film that's hip, just one that's funny and sweet, and in that sense they've succeeded.

Gentle enough to satisfy the wee ones but has little to offer their adult companions...

The welcome absence of strained cleverness qualifies as one of its biggest virtues.

3.5/5

Throw in an impressive vocal cast, including Van Dyke, Ferrell, Drew Barrymore and Joan Plowright and a terrific batch of toe-tapping Jack Johnson tunes -- and, even more than 15 years on, George is a movie with great school holiday appeal.
