Curious George (87 min)
Synopsis: Ted (The Man with the Yellow Hat) is a tour guide living in New York City, who works at the Bloomsberry Museum. His boss and the museum owner, Mr. Bloomsberry, informs Ted that the museum is losing money and will have to close. To save his job and the museum, Ted impulsively volunteers to travel to Africa to bring back an ancient 40-foot-tall idol, the Lost Shrine of Zagawa, hoping that it will attract new visitors. In the jungle, Ted encounters a happy and mischievous but lonely orphaned monkey and gives him his yellow hat. Not wanting to be left alone, the monkey follows him and boards the cargo ship. Ted returns home and discovers the monkey has followed him to New York City. Ted and the monkey (given the name George by schoolteacher Maggie Dunlop and her students) set off on a non-stop action, fun-filled journey through the wonders of the big city while attempting to save the museum from closure.
