Curious George is an American media franchise based on the animated television series of the same name by H. A. Rey and Margret Rey. The series began with the theatrical release of the first film in 2006. The film's success led it to receiving direct-to-video sequels, a television series (which aired three specials during its run) as well as a video game.

It stars a tailless monkey by the name George and his owner known as the Man with the Yellow Hat, or Ted as he is named in the films.
