This is my long-awaited Curious George post.
If you know me in real life, you know I am obsessed with Curious George. I own 3 Curious George DVD’s, one of them being Curious George: A Halloween BooFest.
Guys trust me, this is a PEAK Halloween movie. Like it doesn’t matter what kind of movies you like, scary, romantic, action, you will LOVE AHBF.
I mean a close runner up is Hocus Pocus, but that’s for another blog. So, the first thing I want to point out about this movie, is how fire the soundtrack is. If you’re looking for an amazing Halloween song, listen to “Kinda Sorta Haunted House.”
I also think it’s so cute how George looks up to The Man in the Yellow Hat for being “brave.” When he feels like he can’t do something because of fear, he just thinks about The Man fighting the No Noggin costume and how he keeps going even when he’s scared.
Also, I love how the whole objective of the movie is to find No Noggin a new head, and how it keeps us guessing if No Noggin is even real. After being disproved over and over, there’s always new evidence t0 show that it might be real. Like I said, George goes through with helping No Noggin to prevent people from losing their hats, even when he’s scared of him.
Now something I need opinions on, how do we feel about The Man in the Yellow Hat having a name. In the original show and books, he didn’t have a name, and it was something for us to kind of interpret. Well in the Curious George film, (2006) he is referred to as Ted. We later find out his full name is Theodore “Ted” Shackleford.
I honestly don’t like that he was given a name in the film. I feel like it would have been better to slowly drop it in the show, yet in the show he is still referred to as “The Man.” I don’t know that’s just my opinion.
Which I mean I get it since the film shows him before he met George, but I just think it’s confusing for people who have either not watched the film or have not watched the show.
Well anyways, that was my little post about Curious George. Expect a part 2 about the 2006 film in the near future.
Cya next week, thanks for reading. <3.
