The naughty little monkey from
Margret Rey and
H.A. Rey's beloved
children's stories makes the leap to the big screen in this animated adaptation.
Ted (voice of
Will Ferrell) is an explorer with a large yellow hat who is good friends with
Bloomsberry (voice of
Dick Van Dyke), who runs a natural history museum.
Bloomsberry's greedy son,
Bloomsberry Junior (voice of
David Cross), wants to tear down his dad's museum and put a parking ramp in its place, but the elder
Bloomsberry is convinced that a spectacular new exhibit could save the museum from the wrecking ball.
Ted heads to Africa on an expedition to find some special artifacts that will keep his friend in business, but while he's there he befriends a playful monkey he calls
George (voice of
Frank Welker). While
George is friendly, he has a taste for mischief and seems to always get
Ted in hot water;
Ted thinks he's seen the last of his simian friend when his ship heads back to America, until he discovers that
George managed to hide aboard the boat before it set sail.
Ted's search for a eye-catching exhibit proved to be a failure, and
Ted and his good friend
Maggie (voice of
Drew Barrymore), a schoolteacher who's sweet on him, struggle to find of a way to save
Bloomsberry's museum. But time becomes precious for
Ted when
George has an entire new city to explore.
Curious George features a handful of original songs composed for the film by surfer-turned-
singer/songwriter Jack Johnson.
