Product ReviewsCurious George (DVD, 2006)

Curious George DVD

Happy with the DVD, HOWEVER, it was not the Widescreen edition, as stated in the listing. But still works fine for a three year old and she doesn't know the difference.

This is How its Supposed to Be

This is a must see with the kids. The family saw this one at the theatre and now we own the DVD. The kids will love George's silly antics, which always gets him into trouble, but also brings out the best in Ted, the man with the yellow hat, when Ted comes to save him. At one point, Ted realizes just how much he is missing in his life without George, and this brings his life to a slow crawl until he can find him again. This movie makes one think just how we spend the precious little time we have with our children and how if we can get out of our adult world of thinking, and be present with our kids, we can get closer to them...In the words of Jack Johnson, "This is how its supposed to be..."Read full review...

An overall cute movie

My kids were so excited when I told them that I had ordered this movie. They love to watch Curious George on PBS.

It's about Curious George, a monkey, and how he gets into trouble, but eventually saves the day. My kids were glued the first half of the show, but lost interest after that. I'm not sure if it was just too long, or if the movie was too slow for them. But, in any case, it was cute, but not excellent in my opinion.Read full review...

Great movie for the whole family

First...these reviews are supposed to be about the product, not the ebay sales experience. It's too bad that some people's negative ratings reflect a poor experience with bad sellers and not the movie. This movie is great!

My son is 2 1/2 years old and can sit through the entire thing. At times, he laughs out loud...huge, belly laughs. I enjoyed it too. Curious George was a part of my life as a child, and I love being able to share this with my son now...in a modern way. I'm sure that we will enjoy this for many years to come.Read full review...

Must have for kids of all ages!!!

I grew up watching Curious George and find myself reminiscing when I watch this - you can even catch that childish smile on my face. Jack Johnson lends an excellent soundtrack to Curious George and Will Ferrell's "man in the yellow hat". I am happy this holiday season to be passing on this movie to my two year old neice as she reacts to the music, bright colors and pulls of emotion in this classic come to modern day life.Read full review...

KIDS CAN STILL BE CURIOUS AND BE KIDS

I THINK THIS IS A WONDERFUL LITTLE MOVIE. KIDS CAN HAVE A GOOD TIME WATCHING AN INNOCENT LITTLE MONKEY GETTING INTO TROUBLE BUT KNOWING THAT WHAT HE IS DOING IS WRONG. I THINK IT TEACHES CHILDREN THAT SOME OF THINGS YOU MAY DO LOOK LIKE FUN BUT IT IS STILL WRONG TO DO THEM. I HAVE ALWAYS INCOURAGE MY CHILDREN TO WATCH CURIOUS GEORGE. I THINK HE TEACHES MORALS THAT OUR KIDS ARE NO LONGER TAUGHT. THE MAN WITH THE HAT HANDLES THE LITTLE MONKEY WITH SUCH COMPASSION. THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE AND DO. WE ALL DO WRONG AT SOME POINT OF TIME, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN TO TEACH HATE JUST BECAUSE WE DO. MY DAUGHTER HAS ALL OF THE CURIOUS GEORGE MOVIES AND BOOKS.Read full review...

Good; but maybe a little too modern

Great story with cool music from Jack Johnson. The movie strays a little from the TV series and the books that your children may be used to. Also, seems there was something lost (maybe something gained) by giving a name to "the man with the yellow hat" and mocking the yellow outfit. By doing so, it seems to lose some of the inocence of the 40s and 50s (when the books were in their prime) and which is appealing to kids and parents alike in these modern days.Read full review...

A must have for toddlers

Between the wonderful soundtrack and the intoxicating animation... this is a must have for any mom with a busy toddler. My son actually sits and watches it from start to finish. Pretty good for a now 20 month old. Very good story and not to irritating for the adults either. It never seems to bother me if he wants to watch the "Monkey Movie". I bought the soundtrack for the car too... it's a collection of soothing songs for him. I hope everyone likes this as much as we do. .. oh and my 8 year old never complains when it's on either.Read full review...
