The soundtrack includes songs by Carbon Leaf (folk-rock) and a cameo by Tim Curry as a zookeeper. It’s shorter (81 minutes) and more episodic, like three TV episodes stitched together. 2. Curious George 3: Back to the Jungle (2015) After a gap, the third film arrived. By now, the TV series had ended, but demand remained.

Ted is hired to lead an expedition to Africa to find a rare, magical golden fruit. George accidentally goes along and gets separated. He must survive in the jungle, befriending a young gorilla and learning “jungle smarts” to rescue Ted from a mudslide. The story flips the script: George, the curious city monkey, becomes the hero who teaches the humans about nature. curious george movies

The movie grossed $70 million worldwide (against a $50 million budget) and received generally positive reviews. Critics praised its charm and faithfulness to the source material, though some found it too slight for adults. The Direct-to-Video Sequels (2009–2010) Because the 2006 film was profitable and the TV series Curious George (2006–2015, on PBS Kids) was a hit, Universal produced two direct-to-video movies. These feature the TV voice cast, including Frank Welker as the iconic screech of George and Jeff Bennett as The Man with the Yellow Hat (now named simply “Ted” or “The Man”). 1. Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey! (2009) Plot: George and Ted travel across the country to reunite a baby elephant, Kayla, with her cousin in California. But Kayla was supposed to be delivered to a zoo in New York. Along the way, they ride trains, sneak through airports, and cause their usual brand of joyful mayhem. The film introduces a new human character, a girl named Maggie (not the same as Drew Barrymore’s character), who helps them. The core theme is family—both biological and found.
