2 of 8 Opens in theaters nationwide THE MOVIE February 10, 2006!

National Laydown Date: January 10, 2006 S

Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment bring Curious George, the original "monkey see, monkey do" chimp, to the screen in an all-new animated adventure based upon the beloved tales that have been enchanting readers for more than 60 years. George, the inquisitive little guy with an insatiable taste for adventure, sets off in a brand new tale for the big screen, where his spunky and fun-loving nature endears him to new friends he meets along the way and (of course) lands him in a series of (mis)adventures. y b

Matt O'Callaghan directs from a screenplay by Ken Kaufman and David Reynolds (story by Ken Kaufman). Will d e k r

a Ferrell (Elf, Old School) lends his voice to The Man with the Yellow Hat. Dick Van Dyke, Drew Barrymore, David m e d

a Cross, Eugene Levy and Joan Plowright are also among the distinguished cast of voices. Original songs are r t

d

n written and performed by Jack Johnson. a
