Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey!

As always, Curious George movies are the most family friendly movies and show out there. Great for all ages. Though this one is not as well rounded a storyline as the first, it is definitely full of FUNNY! Something the last one had less of. There are some super cheesy characters very melodramatic. But, the kids fall all over themselves laughing which is so much fun to watch! It's a sweet story and we watch it at least once a month in our home.

Frank Welker continues to voice George in this follow up, making the main character as lovable as ever. The few returning humans are different, but that is only to be expected. Frank also supplies the voice work for a duck and a cow. George makes friends with an elephant called Kayla and tries to reunite her with her family. Meanwhile Ted has an opportunity to become the new museum director. However things don't go according to plan. Can Ted decide where his priorities really lie? The story isn't as strong as the original, but it's still a cute journey to take. The soundtrack isn't as catchy, but it's pleasant enough. Also seeing the 2D format is very refreshing. 6/10

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.

I have always loved the Curious George animated series as well as the first movie. But this is my favorite thing to come out of the franchise. Because it's just so heartwarming. This film always puts me in a good mood. I love the songs, the characters, the animation, which is similar to both the animated series as well as the first movie., George is as endearing as ever, overall, this is just an amazing film!

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
