"Curious George"

The mischievous monkey from Margret and H.A. Rey’s children’s books swings onto the big screen in a sweet adaptation whose surprising innocence makes it a real throwback in an age of hip cartoon characters. Will Ferrell leads the voice cast as a museum guide who treks to Africa and makes pals with the adorably meddlesome monkey, the two forming a primate partnership as they set out to save the museum.

Drew Barrymore adds vocals for a teacher with a crush on Ferrell’s character. DVD extras are aimed at the movie’s main audience of young kids, with a sing-along feature, segments teaching new words and drawing, and a handful of games. The disc also has 15 deleted scenes.
