I finally got to sit down and watch Curious George: Follow That Monkey last night from start to finish. I saw parts of it the other day while my son was watching it, but last night the whole family sat down to check it out.
Ted (The Man in the Yellow Hat) is up for a promotion at the museum, but seems to have his priorities mixed up. Curious George of course gets himself into trouble by befriending an elephant in a magic show. When George and the elephant disappear, the Ted is also in trouble for kidnapping. All three end up on a cross country adventure that helps Ted remember what’s important in life.
It’s a really cute movie for kids. My son watched it for the second time last night. He’s been begging to watch it again since he watched it the first time a few days ago.
There was only one scene that worried me a little. When Curious George and a child were jumping out of the hay loft. We live on a farm, and I wouldn’t want any child to think jumping out of a hay loft is a safe thing to do. Kids like to copy things, so you may want to talk to them about that scene. There’s also a scene where someone jumps out of an airplane without a parachute on, I just worry about encouraging kids to jump off of anything! Some don’t need any encouragement in that direction.
Over all I would definitely recommend the movie it’s really fun to watch in typical Curious George style, and it’s a very good movie for children to watch, sending out the importance of family and relationships.
