... View MoreExcellent, Without a doubt!!
... View MoreIt's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
... View MoreThe movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
... View MoreSo So good, one of the very best movies of the entire summer year.It is a classic especially for the young ones who will (like mine) watch it over and over !!!I loved the soundtrack and the first movie so much, my children would not watch another movie, now this new one came out and they are totally stuck on watching this one all the time as well.They (writing staff) have kept to the original style that has kept us loving the little monkey and the man with the yellow hat for years. The soundtrack is solid, Brian Wilson (Beach Boys) sings his classic as well as new songs by Carbon Leaf who does a fantastic job also contributing is Jackie Greene and Hietor Pieror.This movie was somehow over looked when released, but it renews your faith that a movie with such a classic feel could still hold the kids attention.
... View MoreConsidering my son specifically picks this movie over the first tells me it's a great film. There's a good chance that he's used to the voice of the man in the yellow hat as he's the voice actor from the TV show. He also loves trains so that could be other reason. For me the animation is very good and while I found the character voiced by Jamie Kennedy to be off putting I still dug the movie. The soundtrack is pretty good for a direct to video movie. I don't think I would've seen this in the theater but it was a great deal for $10. Based on the fact that the rest of the Curious George videos released have been TV show episode collections ... I have a hunch that there won't be another movie released for some time to come.
... View MoreFrank Welker continues to voice George in this follow up, making the main character as lovable as ever. The few returning humans are different, but that is only to be expected. Frank also supplies the voice work for a duck and a cow. George makes friends with an elephant called Kayla and tries to reunite her with her family. Meanwhile Ted has an opportunity to become the new museum director. However things don't go according to plan. Can Ted decide where his priorities really lie? The story isn't as strong as the original, but it's still a cute journey to take. The soundtrack isn't as catchy, but it's pleasant enough. Also seeing the 2D format is very refreshing. 6/10
... View Morethis isn't so much a review but i felt like i had to put something up as i was so surprised by the low rating of this film on this site. OK its not as good as the first but its still very good. of course the voice talent wouldn't return but what do you expect in a straight to DVD film, i know that some of the characters act differently to the first film but that doesn't bother me as long as it fits the story. this is ten times better than most of straight to DVD sequels Disney have done. the soundtrack fits in just as perfectly as jack Johnson songs did in the first film too. i can only guess that people who voted haven't seen the film or didn't like the first one. don't let the rating put you off you should watch it if you enjoyed the first or if you like family animations in general. i gave the first a 10 out of 10 based on that I've watched it maybe 100 times with my 2 year old daughter and although its not as good as the first few times i watched it i still can still sit thou without being bored, and i gave 9 out of 10 for this film for much the same reason but i may of change one or two things.
