For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
best movie i've ever seen.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
So So good, one of the very best movies of the entire summer year.It is a classic especially for the young ones who will (like mine) watch it over and over !!!I loved the soundtrack and the first movie so much, my children would not watch another movie, now this new one came out and they are totally stuck on watching this one all the time as well.They (writing staff) have kept to the original style that has kept us loving the little monkey and the man with the yellow hat for years. The soundtrack is solid, Brian Wilson (Beach Boys) sings his classic as well as new songs by Carbon Leaf who does a fantastic job also contributing is Jackie Greene and Hietor Pieror.This movie was somehow over looked when released, but it renews your faith that a movie with such a classic feel could still hold the kids attention.
Considering my son specifically picks this movie over the first tells me it's a great film. There's a good chance that he's used to the voice of the man in the yellow hat as he's the voice actor from the TV show. He also loves trains so that could be other reason. For me the animation is very good and while I found the character voiced by Jamie Kennedy to be off putting I still dug the movie. The soundtrack is pretty good for a direct to video movie. I don't think I would've seen this in the theater but it was a great deal for $10. Based on the fact that the rest of the Curious George videos released have been TV show episode collections ... I have a hunch that there won't be another movie released for some time to come.
The books are great, the series is just as good and the first Curious George was a big surprise and in a good way. This sequel is perhaps a little lacking but that doesn't make it a bad movie, in fact while the film isn't amazing and it doesn't try to be it is quite nice. The animation like the first is nice and colourful, and thankfully doesn't go into shoddy Saturday-morning-standard territory, while the soundtrack is sweet and bright. The film also goes along at a good pace and helped by the cute characters especially George(as adorable as ever) and Kayla the baby elephant and Norton Virgien's direction. Plus the voice acting is solid, hearing Tim Curry's voice again always gets another tick in my book. However, the film is too short and could have done with more scenes. Also while the story is charming and George's antics will delight anybody, it can be a little predictable and bland too, while the dialogue occasionally falls a little flat despite some admittedly amusing and touching moments. That said though, overall, it is a nice, charming movie. 7/10 Bethany Cox
this isn't so much a review but i felt like i had to put something up as i was so surprised by the low rating of this film on this site. OK its not as good as the first but its still very good. of course the voice talent wouldn't return but what do you expect in a straight to DVD film, i know that some of the characters act differently to the first film but that doesn't bother me as long as it fits the story. this is ten times better than most of straight to DVD sequels Disney have done. the soundtrack fits in just as perfectly as jack Johnson songs did in the first film too. i can only guess that people who voted haven't seen the film or didn't like the first one. don't let the rating put you off you should watch it if you enjoyed the first or if you like family animations in general. i gave the first a 10 out of 10 based on that I've watched it maybe 100 times with my 2 year old daughter and although its not as good as the first few times i watched it i still can still sit thou without being bored, and i gave 9 out of 10 for this film for much the same reason but i may of change one or two things.
