Ted (Ferrell) is a tour guide at Bloomsberry Museum, where he gives weekly presentations to the class of Maggie Dunlop (Barrymore). Unfortunately, she and her class are practically the museum's only recurring visitors, and its lack of attendance and revenue leads to Ted's boss and close friend, Mr. Bloomsberry (Van Dyke), telling him that the museum is due to be closed. This news comes to the delight of Mr. Bloomsberry's son Junior (Cross), who wants to tear down the museum to replace it with a parking garage.

[[caption-width-right:338:Get ready for some serious monkey business!]]''Curious George'' is a 2006 animated film based on the ''Literature/CuriousGeorge'' children's books.

The original film features the voices of Creator/WillFerrell, Creator/DrewBarrymore, Creator/DavidCross, Creator/EugeneLevy, Joan Plowright, Creator/DickVanDyke, and Creator/FrankWelker voicing the titular character. Music/JackJohnson [[PopStarComposer provides the songs]].

''Curious George'' starts with a mischievous monkey playing in a jungle in Africa. The film then cuts to Ted, a man who works at Bloomsberry Museum. Unfortunately the museum doesn't get many visitors, besides a teacher named Maggie Dunlop and her class. The museum is due to be closed because it doesn't make enough revenue. The museum owner's son, Junior Bloomsberry, wants to replace the museum with a parking garage. Ted is convinced to go on a quest in Africa to bring back the "Lost Shrine of Zagawa" in the hopes of attracting customers. Ted finds the idol, however it turns out to be three inches tall, not forty feet tall like rumors stated. While in Africa Ted finds the little monkey. The monkey bonds with Ted and ends up following him back home, where their adventures together kick off.

The film was a moderate success, earning nearly $20 million above its budget and receiving an animated television series and five sequels; the first three went DirectToVideo and ([[TheOtherDarrin featured a new cast]]): ''Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey!'' (2010), ''Curious George 3: Back to the Jungle'' (2015), and '' Curious George: Royal Monkey'' (2019). The next two were released as Creator/{{Peacock}} Originals: ''Curious George: Go West, Go Wild'' (2020) and ''Curious George: Cape Ahoy'' (2021).

* MoralDissonance: In the Sequel Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey!. Piccadilly realizes that Kayla was missing her siblings Tonga and Layla who are at a safari park in California. Although the film recognizes that elephants like Kayla need companionship the issue comes with the ending where in order to make Kayla happy Piccadilly has obtained Tonga and Layla from the safari park and made them part of the magic act, in reality, there are too many cases of elephants and other animals in entertainment (like circuses) being abused and mistreated while in comparison zoos/safari parks (usually but not always) provide them with larger amounts of space, better veterinary care and don't make them perform and allow them to behave as they naturally would.
