Curious George

The man with the yellow hat named Ted Shackleford works at a natural history museum that's fallen on hard times. The museum director's son wants to turn it into a parking lot, but Ted offers to bring back a mysterious idol from Africa that's guaranteed to pull in crowds. Unfortunately, the idol turns out to be three inches tall. But Ted accidentally brings back a lonely yet irrepressible monkey, soon dubbed George. They set off on a non-stop action, fun-filled journey through the wonders of the big city toward the warmth of true friendship.

George and the Man with the Yellow Hat have a great time preparing for Christmas.

George escorts Kayla, a blue elephant lonely for her family, from coast to coast.

George has spring fever and wants Hundley to have it, too, but Hundley's too busy to enjoy the outdoors. Later, while looking for a lost Hundley in the country, George winds up in hot air balloon that drifts over the city.

While visiting an adorable baby panda, Curious George accidentally gets locked in the zoo and meets some new animal friends in one of eight episodes included in this collection from PBS's charming educational series, based on H.A. and Margret Rey's books and narrated by William H. Macy. The show features a mix of animated shorts and live-action segments and focuses on teaching math and science skills to preschoolers.

After disrupting a meeting with a stuffy royal family, George accidentally trades places with the king's snooty monkey, Philippe. While Philippe puzzles Ted with his flawless manners, George travels to the castle where his fun-loving antics raise eyebrows and bring shy Princess Isabel out of her shell.
