The Curious George Films

The franchise got a new life thanks to the first theatrical movie in the series, which premiered in 2006, and it was called simply Curious George, and it was an animated movie because that was the best way to tell the story of these characters. It featured the Man with the Yellow Hat, called Ted in this movie, who works at a museum as the overseer, and who has a pet monkey called George. George is very interested in everything around him and quite enthusiastic.

The museum where Ted and George's work is going to be closed down in order to build a parking garage instead of it, so they resolve to save it. For that, they travel to Africa, from where they want to bring back a huge and mystical idol called the Lost Shrine of Zaghawa, in order to attract customers with it and save the museum. The man and the monkey embark on this journey, where they meet animals and humans with whom they make friends, and they learn about the world!

Because the movie was not as financially profitable as it needed to be in order to make more movies to show in the cinemas, theatrical sequels were not made, but some direct-to-video sequels were made, movies that you can watch at home with your parent, on DVD, with most of them now also being available to watch on your favorite streaming services.
 
Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey! is the name of the second movie in the franchise, it got released in 2009 on DVD, and it features George on a journey across the country, together with Ted, of course, and their goal is to bring back together with a baby elephant with its family, so it is a story about relationships, and how important it is to have a family by your side. Visiting America and learning about it is way more fun when you do it with George and the man in yellow, no doubt!

Six years later, in 2015, the third movie in the franchise came out, called Curious George 3: Back to the Jungle. The movie takes the adventures to a whole new level, because it starts off with George in an astronaut suit, in a spaceship, attempting to go to space, only to crash. Fortunately for him, nothing bad happened, as he crashed in Africa, where he made friends with the animals there and embarked on adventures with them!

The fourth movie in the franchise was released not too long ago, in 2019, and it showed us George in a new light, and it was entitled Curious George: Royal Monkey. The premise of the movie is a comedic one, and it is similar to a live-action movie, featuring George as he gets mixed up with a monkey that is a king, so George ends up becoming a king for a while, and we see his adventures in this new royal world he has never explored before.
 

Curious George on PBS Kids

Of course, the character and their world became even bigger thanks to the 2006 show named Curious George as well, which aired new episodes on PBS Kids fro 2006 to 2015, so no less than nine years this show had new stories to tell about these characters, and the show is still airing re-runs on the network, so new generations of children are still discovering these amazing stories. Of course, most of our Curious George Games for kids here have also been inspired by the show or are directly related to it.

The show’s setting alternates between The City and The Country. In the city, the Man and George live in an apartment next to a park, and locations that they visit often include the museum, the zoo, a restaurant, a donut shop, a toy store, a department store, a supermarket, and even a pet shop. They are all owned by zany characters with whom George interacts with. In the country, the two live in a vacation home, and there George has made friends of five-year-old Allie, and a teenage paperboy called Bill.

While the episodes of the show feature adventures that George and the Man have, they are more streamlined than the ones in the movies, and the episodes have an even more educational aspect than the movies did, focusing quite a lot on things like math and science, with George and the children featured in the show engaging in different kinds of experiments that can teach you a lot of valuable lessons.

You can see episodes where George learns to fly a kite, where he creates a coop for pigeons, he will go to the supermarket to get the ingredients to make donuts, or he learns how to clean properly in another episode. He has taken part in a contest about building boats, he learned about time by helping someone fix clocks, has worked part-time as a doorman at his apartment building, he visits a dog show, learns about magnetism and the two poles, and even gets to ride a rocket.
