A few days ago USA Today surprised audiences by
showing off some of the first movie stills from the upcoming animation Curious
George. Though I have found myself to be a little too old to find much
interest in this return to this drawn animation, I am sure there are a good
few of you out there that are just ecstatic about the movie trailer. What
trailer? This trailer...
Curious George Trailer
Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment bring
Curious George, the original "monkey see, monkey do" chip, to the
screen in an all-new animated adventure based upon the beloved tales that
have been enchanting readers for more than 60 years. George, the inquisitive
little guy with an insatiable taste for adventure, sets off in a brand new
tale for the big screen, where his spunky and fun-loving nature endears
him to new friends he meets along the way and (of course) lands him in a
series of (mis-)adventures.

Will Ferrell in Curious George
Originally published in 1941, the book has never
been out of print since. Authors H.A. Rey and his wife Margret, creative
partners who fled Europe during the Nazi occupation and settled in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, eventually wrote seven Curious George tales. Curious
George titles have sold more than 27 million copies worldwide and have
been published in 14 languages, making the little monkey who left the jungle
with The Man With the Yellow Hat one of the best-selling and most enduring
characters in children's literature.
Even with Will Ferrell in the cast of Curious George, I still believe
that a lot of the older generations will not be finding their way to the
theatres unless they got a couple small children in tow. To watch the first
trailer for Curious George, head over to MovieFone.
Curious George comes to theatres on February 10th, 2006.
