This was a wonderful "reward" on the day before Christmas vacation for my very diligent first graders. They (and I) loved it. EmilyS
Movie Reviews
Like The PBS Show
S. Mucciardi | 11/11/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Like the PBS show, it has the regular characters we have grown to love, with their respective voices. When The Man w/the Yellow Hat wants to help George write out his Christmas list, George presents him his list in the form of a drawing of shapes (circles, squares,triangles...). The Man w/the Yellow Hat labors over the list and can't figure out what George wants for Christmas. The Man w/the Yellow Hat sees how well the Doorman and Hundley work together and how Chef Pisghetti understands Gnocchi. The Man w/the Yellow Hat feels he doesn't really understand George, isn't a good monkey parent, and that maybe George would be better off with someone else. The Man w/the Yellow Hat dreams of the Ghost of Time Gone Sideways. He sees what it would be like if George was with the Doorman, Professor Wiseman, or Chef Pisghetti, instead of him. During the dream The Man w/the Yellow Hat figures out what George's list means and what he wants for Christmas.
During this time, George is trying to decide on the perfect gift to make for The Man w/the Yellow Hat. George's creations end in messes and disappointment until he figures out exactly what to give The Man w/the Yellow Hat.

Another great George DVD

"This is a very touching dvd about Christmas and finding meaning in gift giving rather than giving just for the sake of giving."
Great Christmas Entertainment for Little Kids

"My son is three and loves this movie. He watched it over and over again. Same great characters as the PBS show, with a little something of the real spirit (though not the true meaning) of Christmas woven in. Recommend for any children who enjoy the PBS Curious George show. They will love it."
Great Holiday Movie!

"This is a wonderful holiday movie for families. Curious George and The Man With the Yellow Hat learn what Christmas is really all about as they try and find each other the best Christmas gift. Several of the characters from the PBS TV series are in this movie and it's a colorful, thoughtful story that will be a happy treat for all Curious George fans! My kids love this one! Very highly recommended!"

"I have two sons, 3 and 4, and they absolutely love this DVD. They want to watch it everyday. I've watched this DVD with them a couple times and it's very cute and entertaining. They are also big fans of the PBS Curious George cartoon so I had a hunch it would be a hit. I definitely recommend this DVD!"
