August 6, 2008Jeepers. Flixster rates this as 3 1/2 stars. I found it a horribly childish waste of 90 minutes. Nowhere near the quality of other animated flicks I have seen like Ice Age or Shrek, etc.

September 22, 2007I appreciated that the animation wasn't phonier than a Chinese redhead, but the Jack Johnson soundtrack kind of rubbed me the wrong way. And Will Farrell as The Man With the Yellow Hat was pretty damn annoying. Plotwise, it was kind of annoying but it's a kid 's movie and they te...( read more)

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Artful simplicity may be an impossible quality in a modern children's movie, so Curious George opts instead for mayhem under a blanket of sweetness. The little ones understand. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
The movie, particularly the endearing George, should appeal to young children, and the humor should elicit a few chuckles among their parents as well. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
The makers of Curious George have figured out how to make an innocent cartoon that will amuse knee-nuzzlers without hitting adults like a liter of chloroform. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The movie is faithful to the spirit and innocence of the books, and director Matthew O'Callaghan and his team create a visual look that is uncluttered, charming, and not so realistic that it undermine... full review

October 19, 2006It was a well animated movie but the story was lacking and the character development was bad. True Curious George fans (those who have read the stories) would be disappointed. It is, however, a good family film if that's what you're looking for.
