The greatest movie ever made..!

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

My son fell in love with Curious George when he was 4 and us in love with the show now. This is his favorite movie of the George series: it's easy for children shows' Halloween specials to scare a 4 year old kid, especially if he's not been exposed to a lot of adult shows or news (my son mostly hasn't, and definitely hadn't when he was 4 two years ago). This special didn't scare him at all, even if he did get that Halloween is about being scared a little. As usual it was sweet, educational, and funny (some lines from the movie being endlessly repeated by my son for a week was the "bad" part, maybe). We still watch this any time it's on. I highly recommend this to parents and children.

This was without a doubt one of my favorite kid films ever. Joe Fallon (writer) did a wonderful job of creating a timeless Curious George story - complete with a mystery, the Man with the Yellow Hat, and all the George hi-jinks we have come to know and love. The way they were able to devise a Halloween story for kids that brings in the right elements yet still keeps things kid-friendly was incredible. My kids have probably watched this a hundred times, with either my wife or I watching it with them at least thirty or so times. I am still enjoying it, even after all those viewings, and that's gotta say something. :-) By the way, if anyone can come up with contact info for Joe Fallon, please share, I would love to tell him what a great job he did. Thanks!
