Coco – Der neugierige Affe (2006)

Coco – Der neugierige Affe: Directed by Matthew O’Callaghan. With Frank Welker, Will Ferrell, Shane Baumel, Timyra-Joi Beatty. The Man in the Yellow Hat is an oddball museum employee who looks after his pet monkey, an inquisitive and wonderful creature whose enthusiasm often gets the best of him.

“From the very first moment that Curious George scampers onto the screen to begin his funny adventures, my heart was swept away with laughter. All my cares disappeared while my wife and I giggled with all the other kids, very young and very old, watching George do his best to do the right thing – only to get in more and more trouble from the adult animals all around. Soon George (a u0026#39;monkeyu0026#39; – actually a chimpanzee) finds better times with the animal children, whom he gathers around a chameleon that they light up like a rainbow disco strobe.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSounds silly? It sure is, and more fun than an elephant with a smiley face painted by George on its butt! (Everyone screamed with laughter at that one.) Within less time than it takes George to settle down for the night, all alone, weu0026#39;re not watching a movie – weu0026#39;re living the adventure with him. For those who have read the Curious George books, you know (or soon remember) how the story goes. For those adults or kids who havenu0026#39;t read the books yet, let the story sweep you away.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor those interested in such curious things: this movie is animated, hand-drawn in vibrant primary colors with fun background music by Jack Johnson. Itu0026#39;s faithful to the spirit and drawings of Margret and H.A. Rey who created the Curious George books. If you have any youth in your heart, you will be delightfully swept away by the good ship H.A. Rey into the antic-filled, lovely and gentle world of Curious George and his new family.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI had a gentle, fun good time seeing this movie with my wife (a grandma). So did the preview theater, full not only with kids of all ages with their parents u0026amp; grandparents, but a couple in their 20u0026#39;s on a date! This is a really gentle, really good movie.”
