Terrific series!

I have made no secret of loving Curious George, whether it is the books, movies or series. The books are just delightful, very cute, simple and charming with beautiful illustrations, lovable characters and great values for children. The first Curious George movie is delightful, and while the second(which I hadn't even heard of until very recently) was lacking it was cute and didn't try to be any more than it was.

Back on target, this series is just terrific. The later episodes, introducing the shrill and obnoxious Allie(to me anyway)aren't quite as good as the earlier ones, but I still love the series regardless of what ever flaws it has. The animation is just lovely, with nice character designs and colourful backgrounds. The music is bright and breezy, the theme tune is catchy and hummable and the background scoring is simple yet effective. The writing is also clean and funny with enough to amuse kids and adults, while the stories are simple yet always engaging and amusing with nice educational value, amusing antics and appreciative loyalty to the spirit of the books. Also the characters overall are appealing, especially George who is the cutest monkey I have ever seen, no joke. The voice acting is great, especially William H Macy who is perfect as the sympathetic narrator.

All in all, Curious George is terrific and just a delight to watch. 9/10 Bethany Cox
