Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Universal's last theatrically released hand-drawn animated film—a quiet end to an era while Pixar dominated.
Jack Johnson recorded the entire soundtrack after his own kids became obsessed with Curious George books; the movie's profits funded his charity foundation.
