Universal Studios Home Entertainment released Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey! on DVD today. This DVD includes two never-before-seen shows from the all-new TV season on PBS that does not air until Fall 2010, a brand new interactive game, an exclusive music video and more.

We received a copy of this DVD and I put it on this weekend to watch. I have to start by saying that Baby Bird LOVES monkeys right now. She gets excited and imitates them by putting her hands to her chest and saying “eee-eee-eee”. So when she saw Curious George on the screen for the first time, she walked around the living room pointing at the screen saying “mo — mo — mo” meaning monkey.

In this sequel, George tries to help reunite Kayla, a homesick elephant, with her family. With security specialist Marcus Wolfe right behind them they make their way from adventure to adventure. This is a wonderful story about friendship, never giving up and realizing what is important in life.

Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey features all-star voice talent including Tim Curry, Jamie Kennedy, Matt Lauer, Frank Welker and comedy legend Jerry Lewis, plus music from legendary songwriter Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys.

I grew up with Curious George and I am happy to see that new movies are still being put out with this lovable monkey and the Man With the Yellow Hat.

This DVD has a suggested retail price of $19.95 and is now available for purchase. It is on sale right now though and as of this post, you can buy it online at Amazon.ca for $16.99 and at Amazon.com for $12.99.
