Curious George: A Very Monkey Christmas DVD Review & Giveaway
I love Curious George! Then again, who doesn’t? I remember growing up with the yellow books that told all about the adorable and curious monkey by the name of George. Oh and you can’t forget the Man in the Yellow Hat! Thanks to Universal Home Entertainment, I had the opportunity to review “Curious George: A Very Monkey Christmas” on DVD with my family. My boys loved it! I love to watch them watch it and see them giggle at the cute and curious monkey. Not to mention the Christmas spirit added to the mix. This is an awesome Holiday Classic that families should own! Who knows, maybe Santa will leave it for your little one in his or her stocking?
“Curious George: A Very Monkey Christmas” tells the heartwarming story of George and the Man with the Yellow Hat as they celebrate the season together and includes three all-new holiday songs plus other classic Christmas music. It is a must-see holiday movie for you and your kids. Your kids will definitely love it! The DVD was released by Universal Home Entertainment on October 13th, 2009.
In conjunction with the DVD release, Universal is running an “All I Want This Holiday” $100,000 instant win game, where one lucky grand prize winner will get $100,000 to create their own “Family Fund.” This can mean investing in a college tuition fund, paying for a new home or even taking a year off to spend more time with the kids. Also, more than 200 additional prizes will be awarded, including HDTVs, Netbooks, Blu-ray™ players and more. Enter and see official rules here: www.universalstudios.com/curiousgeorgeinstantwin.

Whenever I think of Curious George I think of my little brother. He LOVED Monkeys and Curious George was his favorite! I actually tried to write him a curious George book for his birthday one year…I was like in the 4th grade and he was in Kindergarten, so it wasn’t the best, but he loved it!

My daughter has been sleeping with a vintage Curious George all her life…or rather, 12 identical Georges, as we rotate for cleanliness and loss-proofing!
As a child, my sister and I always loved reading the Curious George books. My sister was a much bigger fan , though. She had (and still has) many Curious George stuffed toys, including a giant larger-then-life stuffed George. Today my little nephews adore Curious George, so this is a gift the whole family will enjoy. Thank you for the chance to win.
The best thing about him, of course, is how curious he is!
I remember having a pair of curious george rain boots that I used to wear everywhere. I dont remember what happened to them but my mom has tons of pictures of me in them while jumping in puddles. Fun.

I love that George is so tenacious. He gets in a predicament and tries to get out of it on his own.

It all started on Dec 25, 1977 when I was born. Yes I did say Christmas Day 1977. My very first doll was the Curious George with the Red Hat & Shirt. This little monkey went everywhere with me throughout the years & sat next to me every time i went to library to get a Curious George book. I would sit with my mother & father for hours reading about him & the man with the yellow hat. By the time I grew out of him his eyes had been missing & his hat had no rim anymore. So as the years went by & I wondered what happened to my best bud I came home from college because of a career ending knee surgery, (Christmas 1999) I was sitting on my parents couch for my 21st birthday in a full leg brace hooked up to an ice machine & all of a sudden under the tree I saw my little bud sitting behind a present. My mother had kept him & put him away for a time when I would really need him. At the darkest time in my life my little curious monkey bud was there to help me. I understand that some people may look at this at laugh but let me tell you that sometimes even the Big Guys do need their buds to get through the hard times. I played baseball & hockey. I’m 6’1 225 so you can laugh at me but i would never trade that little guy for anything..
Best Regards & Thank You for letting me share my story of that little curious monkey…..
