Curious George 2 : Follow That Monkey! (2009) 7/10

Starring : Jeff Bennett, Tim Curry, Jamie Kennedy, Matt Lauer, Jerry Lewis, Frank Welker
Director : Norton Virgien
Running Time : 82 mins

When Ted (Bennett) takes George the monkey (Welker) to a magic show, George accidentally frees Kayla the elephant, who is part of the disappearing act, and takes her on a cross-country trip to find her family. The only problem is the magician who owns her, Piccadilly (Curry), thinks that Ted and George have kidnapped her so sets head of security Danno Wolfe (Kennedy) on their trail.

This was better than I expected, and a fun film for young children, even if they don’t understand the complex plot. Saying that, the characters are a little one-dimensional, and I’d have liked the magician to be a little less understanding that someone had apparently stolen an elephant that was so important to his act and his livelihood. Plus, a rare appearance from the always awesome Jerry Lewis was a fun surprise.
