(Curious George (DVD

Curious George is a 2006 American animated adventure comedy film^[2] directed by Matthew O'Callaghan, based on the book series by H. A. Rey and Margret Rey. Featuring the voices of Frank Welker, Will Ferrell, Drew Barrymore, David Cross, Eugene Levy, Joan Plowright, and Dick Van Dyke, it follows how the Man with the Yellow Hat, a tour guide at a museum, first befriended George while attempting to save the museum from closure.

Since 1990, the film had languished in development hell at Imagine Entertainment. The film employs a notable blend of traditional animation and computer-animated scenery. The score was composed by Heitor Pereira and features several songs by musician Jack Johnson.

Curious George was released in the United States by Universal Pictures on February 10, 2006. It was met with generally positive reviews, and was a box-office disappointment, grossing $70 million against a budget of $50 million. It was followed by five direct-to-video sequels.
