Movie Talk: Curious George- Follow That Monkey DVD
Friday, March 12, 2010

My children are learning about the world around them, unfortunately, gravity is still a concept that baffles them and each time they fall, I'm there to pick them up, smile, and kiss the hurt away. When they wrangle all the neighborhood kids and march into my house with laughter, I sometimes think I should start charging people to enter this zoo. When it's all said and done and all they want to do is relax, we pull out a movie from our media library, also known as the shelf in our coat closet. Our newest movie edition involves a curious monkey, a cross-country adventure, and the importance of family and friends.
About Curious George 2 Follow That Monkey:
The world’s most beloved and inquisitive monkey is back in Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey, the fun-filled sequel to the hit animated movie. Join Curious George and The Man with the Yellow Hat as they set out on a madcap cross-country adventure to reunite Kayla, a homesick elephant, with her family. This unlikely trio faces all types of comic calamities and colorful characters and in the end, learn that with family, friends and determination, you can achieve anything. Featuring the voices of Tim Curry, Matt Lauer, Jamie Kennedy and Jerry Lewis, Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey, “proves that family, friends – and curiosity – are number one.” (Francine Brokaw, Los Angeles Family Magazine)
Bonus Features:
- Two Never Before Seen Bonus Shows from the all-new TV season! See the premiere episode 6 months before it airs!
- Curious George’s Cross Country Caper Game – It’s more fun than a barrel of you-know-what when George and Kayla go on the run with security specialist Marcus Wolfe hot on their trail!
- Exciting puzzles lead the way from New York to California so Kayla can visit her brother and sister. But be careful—a wrong answer could bring the Wolfe right to their door!
- Hold On, Here We Go – Exclusive Music Video
- Coloring Pages and Wallpapers
Let me just say, I grew up reading Curious George books. Just like it was yesterday, I remember my librarian reading them to my class. It amazes me that my children can experience a classic, like Curious George, in a variety of ways such as: Television shows, Computer Games, Board Games, Books, and Full Animated Movies.
As we watched Curious George 2, we talked about how good intentions can sometimes go differently than we originally planned, but there will always be support from family along the way. After the popcorn was gone and the movie ended, we took full advantage of the bonus games on the DVD and even printed out coloring pages for my toddler.
My 7-year-old son wasn't QUITE into the movie, saying Curious George is for babies and with my jaw dropped, I explained, "I'm 28 years old and I STILL love Curious George. Am I a baby?" Apparently, in his eyes, if the show airs on PBS Kids in the morning, it's for babies. The funny thing is, he glanced up from his Nintendo DS to see us laughing and cuddling that he just HAD to join us.
All in all, Momma Findings finds it family friendly and definitely a great conversation starter to talk about helping those in need.

Not too long ago, my little monkey covered the bathroom... the ENTIRE bathroom... in Suave for Kids strawberry shampoo. It smelled great, but, well... just imagine the cleanup!

My not yet 2 year old pulled down the wallpaper border in his bedroom. GRRRRR.

There's a Curious George episode where George moves the hands on a clock and causes confusion. Well, my son decided to try to copy him. Guess the clock in our living room wasn't as sturdy as George's, because it no longer has an hour hand!

I have two monkeys who just turned 1. They love to get into the cat food and I think they scheme. One child will be the distraction and the other will make a mad dash towards to bowl.

My youngest daughter was (and still is) such a climber! Nothing was off-limits as long as I wasn't looking.
One day she was in her room and I heard a CRASH! I ran in there, only to find her on the floor with the dresser on top of her, with only her head and shoulders sticking out.
She just looked at me and said "I'm OK"

Seems she had been trying to see if she could touch the ceiling from the top of the dresser.
I have blogged about my curious son and linked to your giveaway!

When my daughter was three, she put money in my car CD player (like she was requesting a song for a jukebox). The metal from the coins interfered with the whole system and we went without ANY music in the car for over a year!

I caught my 5 year old grandson trying to talk his 2 year old brother into climbing inside the dryer. I don't think he'll try that again after his grandpa had a good talk with him.

I caught him and the dog jumping on the new couch. I'm still trying to figure out how he got the dog involved. It would have been funny if it would not a been a new couch.
When my monkey was little, she stuck raisins up her nose. (used tweezers to get them out). My other little monkey I once found sitting with a box of dog treats...eating them.
Thanks!

Oh my daughter is quiet the mischievous monkey. We have backyard chickens. We love having our own fresh eggs daily. Anyway, one day we were out in the yard doing yard work and my daughter was running wild around the yard. I told her not to run right next to the roosters or that might try to flog her (not that they had ever done so). We she took this as a challenge and ran right up to the biggest barred rock rooster and tried to box it. LOL He took off after her, she took off screaming and her dad sprinting for the rooster with the rake. Now we have to pin the rooster up every time she is outside, cause he tries to spur her every time he sees her. LOL. He is a gentle giant and just walks about my feet as a work, but he sees her and it is like a bull spotting a red cape.

When he was a little monkey, my son thought every wall in the house was a blank canvas for his art work.

My monkey climbed on top of the fridge when she was 2 to get cookies. Thanks for the chance.

Mine saw me put sugar onto the top of muffins one time...then one day, I made a fresh banana bread. He thought he would help me out, buy adding sugar to the top...only he added salt. Not good! It was awful. We tried taking the top layer off and just eating the bottom...still really gross and salty. Thanks for the chance. bekki1820cb at gmail

My child tried to climb up his dresser and knocked it over. Luckily he wasn't hurt. debsweeps4@yahoo.com
When my daughter was little one summer day after giving her a bath she ran away from me and ran out the front door in her birthday suit!

I read the books to my children, and am sure my granddaughter would love the movie.
My daughter thinks it's fun to run into the garden bed and throw mulch all over our front yard/driveway.
Our son tried to be superman by jumping out the window. Fortunately it was the first floor.

While lying on the bottom bunk bed, he "decorated" the bottom of the upper bunk with crayons and fingerpaint.
Luckily, jr. hasn't really done anything mischevious yet. Afterall, he's not quite mobile just yet. I'm sure he'll raise some hell as soon as he can, but so far, he's a perfect little angel. Thanks for the giveaway, I love, and jr. will love, George.
She cut her own hair I almost cried.

Ian put his cat out the window- after busting the screens- on the second floor. Yeah, gotta watch him EVERY second.

My daughter stuck rocks up her nose.
The little one introduced me to his new friend while I was sitting in the bathroom by opening the door and declaring, "That's my Dad!"

He was trying to make cereal, so he placed his bowl on the couch and proceeded to pour the gallon of milk...all over the sofa!
Flour and dog food all over the kitchen and themselves....meanwhile their father was snoozing.

my crazy monkey is standing on a chair dancing and singing her heart out!
He hid the cookies so that he could be the only ones to eat them.
