From producer
Ron Howard (The Da Vinci Code), and featuring an
all-star cast of voices, comes the animated family favourite
Curious George.
This funny and
enchanting tale is based on the classic children’s books by Margaret and H.A Rey, movie watchers will discover how George first met The
Man with the Yellow Hat and ended up following him to the big city.
When
museum guide Ted (voiced by Will Ferrell) journeys to the African jungle to
find an artefact that will save the museum where he works from closing, he
meets Curious George, the pint-sized chimp with insatiable curiosity.
Having
found a new playmate, George stows away on the boat that takes Ted back
home. Once they are re-united in the big
city, George throws a monkey-wrench in the works when his antics get his new
friend fired. But the duo work together
not only to save the museum, but also to win the heart of a lovely school
teacher (Drew Barrymore).
Also
lending their voices to this lovable film are the legendary Joan Plowright (101 Dalmations) and
Dick Van Dyke (Mary Poppins).
Red-hot recording artist Jack Johnson
(albums In Between Dreams, Brushfire
Fairytales) writes and performs his own songs written specifically for
the film, putting into words and music the thoughts and feelings of George.
Kids will also go bananas over the range
of Curious George merchandise,
including toys and storybooks, which will make the perfect Christmas gift for
little ones.
