Overview
“Though he had promised to be good, little monkeys sometimes forget…” Curious George and his friend, the man with the yellow hat, have been waiting to see this movie for a long time, and finally it’s here! When his friend goes to get popcorn, George watches the beginning of the movie. Soon, inevitably, this inquisitive chimp gets curious. Is that light at the back of the theater the place where the movie comes from? Curiosity doesn’t kill the cat–or the ape–but it sure gets him in a lot of messes! Quick as a wink, George has managed to get tangled up in the film, and the audience is getting restless. Luckily, resourceful George finds a way to save the day.
The wonders of modern technology, combined with creative genius, have brought Curious George to life again. Based on the original Curious George character, and written and illustrated in the style of Margret and H.A. Rey, George’s latest adventure features the art of Vipah Interactive, the animators of Curious George CD-ROMs. Even the toughest critics of all–young children–will be unfazed by the melding of the traditional and the newfangled. George is still George. Curious about George’s other escapades? Try The Complete Adventures of Curious George. (Ages 4 to

Nice book, but read the editorial review above,

That said, the editorial review is quite right. The attention to detail of the original George books is absent in this one. It also misses the lesson that is supposed to be taught in the books when George does something he wasn’t supposed to. However, in this book, he winds up getting out of his seat to see where the movie is coming from, upsets the projector, but never gets punished for it. He’s patted on the back and given free popcorn since he saved the day by making hand shadows on the screen. Not too sure what type of message they’re trying to send with this book, but since it isn’t written by the Reys, it’s hard to tell. I wouldn’t really bank on this one – the message just isn’t there and doesn’t stay true to the original George books. Don’t really recommend this one.

Even though this wasn’t one of the original titles in the CURIOUS GEORGE series and was written and illustrated by some unknown writers and artists in an attempt to cash in on CURIOUS GEORGE, I still thoroughly enjoyed this book. I picked it up because I’m a huge movie buff and will read just about anything about the movies. I was especially impressed by how much the illustrations resemble the original drawings.
In this story the Man in the Yellow Hat takes George to see a movie. George is curious about the light in a little window high above the ground. So, while the Man in the Yellow Hat is getting snacks, George finds his way into the machine booth and causes a mess.
Children love this story because it combines the misadventures of George with something they are familiar with, movies. A delightful book.
