shrikarmutalik This movie was surprisingly good, It has great animation, and it tells an interesting, engaging story about the creators of curious George. If you want to learn about the surprisingly interesting story about the creators of your favorite childhood book and the hardships they had to face along the way, give this movie a try. I Recommend to everyone of all ages!

MartinHafer While the story of Hans and Margaret Reyersbach and their creation, Curious George, is an interesting story, the best reason to watch this film is because it was made so incredibly well. This stylish documentary really impressed me--with lovely drawings done in Hans' style, great camera work, wonderful interviews as well as archival footage and the Reyersbach's original work all work together to present a never dull story. What I also appreciate is that it was, at times, no holds barred...meaning that while it celebrates their work, it also is truthful enough to acknowledge that Margaret was, in some ways, an awful person! Warts and all...a sign of an objective study of the individuals. Well worth seeing.

jaxepan By using an overlay of animation, old films and photographs, the producer brings to life the story of the Reys, as people in their lives narrate in interviews, the events surrounding their extraordinary journey to create Curious George. You will read the same Curious George books with renewed appreciation, with deeper understanding of how the Reys personalities and interaction with each other influenced the adventures of George. The themes surrounding love, friendship, ingenuity, determination and a great amount of childlike curious and optimism touched our whole family at many points of the movie. I enjoyed this movie tremendously and would highly recommend it.

regillot This is a well-made documentary about the couple Hans and Margaret Rey, the creators of the famous children's books about the adventures of the little monkey Curious George. It shows, in a quite original way, how this book character was brought to life by its makers and how it actually saved their lives. Being from Jewish descent, Hans and Margaret fled Europe just in time to escape the persecutions by the Nazi's, but bringing with them as their gift to the free world, the first manuscript about the adventures of a small curious monkey. Stories that have settled in the minds of millions of children and their children's children. Definitely recommended.
