Seattle Post-Intelligencer

What a rare pleasure to see a classic book adapted for the screen and walk out feeling neither bored, offended nor outraged.

San Francisco Chronicle

The film has a little too much of the "new adventures" feel, but it's still fun.

I'm near to be becoming a high school senior and I still enjoy this movie! I read a review of the movie stating this is a "children's movie" instead of a "family movie," but maybe this may prove that even teenagers can enjoy made-for-children films, because I remember first watching this when I was 7 and I grew up with the Curious George TV series as well. 2006 Curious George movie offers plenty of charm and awesome animation, and it made me very happy when I first found out that Will Ferrell had voiced the Man with the Yellow Hat (aka Ted)

Curious George is sweet, colorful and has very unforgettable characters. Sadly, it's fun and entertainment could be just enjoyable for children, despite its unpredictable plot and simple story-telling.

Report

Some amusing new characters are added (love the Russian doorman), and the 2-D animation, simple and serviceable after a tortured production history, is fine. But the jewel in the movie’s crown is its gorgeous pastel palette, alternating with warm earth tones.

By Ella Taylor FULL REVIEW

What makes Curious George such an enduring figure is that he embodies much of what's wonderful about childhood.

By Nathan Rabin FULL REVIEW

Dallas Observer

Though it does cheapen itself with some dreadful moments of product placement, it doesn't instantly date itself with cheap pop-culture gags; it will play to our kids' kids tomorrow just as it does today, like something made for children who don't know to expect more from their cartoons than just pleasant, nostalgic mediocrities.

By Robert Wilonsky FULL REVIEW

New York Daily News

Curious George has long been a bedtime staple, but this animated film version may be the first time his story puts parents to sleep.

By Elizabeth Weitzman FULL REVIEW

Solely made for tiny tots, this may test the patience of supervising adults, but delight smaller viewers who will doubtless fall in love with George and want him for their very own.

Curious George is a wonderful book, but the movie can't compare It's perfectly light and fluffy, but nothing more than that. It tries harder than what it achieves.
