CURIOUS GEORGE (2006)
SYNOPSIS
Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment bring
Curious George, the original "monkey see, monkey
do" chimp, to the screen in an all-new animated
adventure based upon the beloved tales that have
been enchanting readers for more than 60 years.
George, the inquisitive little guy with an insatiable
taste for adventure, sets off in a brand new tale for
the big screen, where his spunky and fun-loving
nature endears him to new friends he meets along
the way and (of course) lands him in a series of
(mis)adventures.
Originally published in 1941, the book has never
been out of print since. Authors H.A. Rey and his
wife Margret, creative partners who fled Europe
during the Nazi occupation and settled in
Cambridge, Massachusetts, wrote the original
seven Curious George tales. In 1998 Houghton-
Mifflin began publishing new Curious George
adventures and continues to release new titles and
formats. Curious George titles have sold more than
30 million copies worldwide and have been
published in 17 languages, making the little monkey
who left the jungle with The Man with the Yellow Hat
one of the best-selling and most enduring
characters in children's literature.
