Review: After the extreme success of the first Curious George movie, they were bound to make a sequel, right? This time the Man with the Yellow hat is focused on his career far too much and he's ignoring not only his monkey George, but Maggie, as well. The picadilly circus is in town and George really wants to go. The Picadilly features the voice of the legendary Tim Curry, one of the highlights of this direct to DVD film. Jeff Bennett takes over as the Man in the Yellow Hat and the great Frank Welker continues his run as George.
My daughter is such a fan of the first movie and the subsequent PBS television show that we couldn't wait to get our hands on Curious George 2! We sat her down with a few of her friends and the five to six year olds went crazy! They loved the story and the fun. George always brings a smile to any child's face!
We typically don't enjoy direct to DVD features, especially sequels, but Follow That Monkey was a real treat. I enjoyed the books as a child and to see the characters come to life in such a dynamic way is fantastic. This film is tops in our book, we highly recommend it.
