Most movies have elements to make it look beautiful.. Curious George is one of those movies.The film has an understandable storyline, great voice acting done by comedic actors and a very cute George!The highlights of the film (for me) were :1. It is masterfully shot. Like when George doing some 'parkour' on the building, the camera was shooting at impressive angles.2. The lighting/shading was very impressive and appealing to viewers. I see this element on very few animated movies.It is a fun movie, George still has his curious elements, it was exciting and adventurous to watch and I give it a 10 out 10!

Curious George is a rare thing in Hollywood these days: a big budget feature ($50,000,000) that is specifically tailored to small children. Oh yes, they could have possibly made more of a profit had it been a straight to DVD release or put in less effort into the animation, but the studio decided to have some balls, take a risk, and go all out for this feature. I am so glad they did! This film avoids a lot of the pop culture references that one finds in most animated features and decides to focus on George's antics. That was a very good decision. Kids can identify with a curious monkey with seemingly limitless energy, an excitable innocence, and fun filled nature. The opening credits clearly establish the personality and good humor of George, and it just gets better from there. Jack Johnson was commissioned to write the music, and his whimsy is a perfect compliment to the mood of the movie. No, it is not a perfect film that transcends the genre of animated movies and there are plot holes. But in a film so fun loving and innocent, who cares about the small details. This film is appropriate from age 2 and up. Parents will enjoy seeing their kids laugh and having a good time. Simply put, if you want something safe for kids to watch, get this movie. Or better yet, read them the original Curious George stories.

First, the artwork is eye candy. Designed to appeal to kids and adults, a lot of care and inspiration and, maybe, a bit of genius went into the visual design of this film.Second, the music complemented the film almost perfectly. The feel of the songs fit the film. The melodies were appealing and well produced. Taken with the film they were very memorable. The available music for purchase, "Curious George: Sing-A-Longs And Lullabies For The Film", tho not exactly the same as in the film, is good. It is, as others have commented, a very entertaining kid's film which doesn't include inappropriate content. This is to be appreciated in an era when the entertainment industry appears often to be working against parents.

"Curious George" is definitely one of the best (and cutest) animated film in this decade. Not only it is very friendly, but kids and adults can truly feel good while and after watching it.Every character is lovable in the film and nobody's a villain (with the exception of Bloomsberry Junior). The animation is smooth and pleasing to the eyes. The soundtrack also appeals to all ages, which is important but often neglected since a lot of songs used in kiddie films are either pseudo-cool ("Pokemon" theme songs) or unappealing to the targeted generation (Lindsay Lohan's "The Parent Trap"). The story is cute and very engaging, minus the crass humor. Lastly, George is so lovable that you really want to cuddle him.If you want a rent a good, child-friendly movie for your kid, this is definitely a safe choice. Your kid will get hooked, and so are you.
