| | Professional Reviews | New York Times
"With top-drawer voice talent?and old-fashioned two-dimensional animation that echoes the simple colors and shapes of the books, CURIOUS GEORGE is an unexpected delight" 02/10/2006 p.E10Entertainment Weekly
"[Farrell] turns the Man in the Yellow hat into an affably game science nerd, and Drew Barrymore, as the teacher who has a crush on him, flirts engagingly." -- Grade: B- 02/17/2006 p.55-56 Sight and Sound
"[T]he film remains true to the spirit of the series of books....The emphasis is on fun, discovery and education..." 07/01/2006 p.49 BBC Film Review 7 of 10
The animation is simple but pleasing, rendered in primary colours with a classic Disney feel. The whole thing might be a bit more bearable were it not for the tooth-rotting sweetness of Jack Johnson's songs, which are all about learning by doing, and how important it is to have friends, and other such guff. Still, there's some fun to be had spotting old-timers Joan Plowright and Dick Van Dyke in supporting roles. - Paul Arendt
Chicago Sun-Times 7 of 10
Is this movie for the whole family to attend? No, it is a movie for small children and their parents or adult guardians, who will take them because they love them very much. Even if they love them very much, they will have to be very, very patient, so maybe waiting for the DVD is a good idea, except then, of course, you will have to experience it over and over and over and over and over again. - Roger Ebert
