    • @CainDB
      @CainDB 3 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      I don't really like the metaphore with wine, because sooner or later it will rot, and those movies will never rot, the thing with 2D animation is that it simply doesn't age, ever, in about 100 years this movie will still look fantastic like old Disney movies today, 2D animation is mostly affected by animators skills, if you're an absolute master at hand drawn animation then you don't really need an ungodly amounts of money to make something look appealing, all you basicly need is a stock pile of paper, pen and time, CGI requires ungodly amounts of money for rendering hardware alone, and still it rarely looks appealing and even when it does it's aging VERY fast, and it requires FAR less work and artistic skill

      I think that's due to the fact that that's what the writers of the original books were going for anyway, ever wonder why George is a monkey without a tail? He's meant to be as close to a small child as possible while not being human at the same time.
      Why not just call him an ape instead, then? Monkeys are easier to remember.

I just wish more studios did movies on 2D so we could have more movies to compare.

      Yes, you are absolutely right. I've probably seen all the original episodes (before the Peacock series) at least three times, and a lot of them even more. A personal favorite of mine, for some reason, are any of the episodes that take place primarily at night, like the one where George is scared of the shadows in the cave, the one where he and Hundley get lost on the city, or the camping trip (also with Hundley.)

    *Fun Fact:* Curious George was originally debuted in another book by H.A. Ray and Margaret Ray called _Cecily G. and the Nine Monkeys,_ which it's a story of a lonely girrafe who befriended with a bunch of monkeys. His name wasn't George at first, but rather called "Fifi".
    Also, George was originally named "Zozo" in the U.K. but people find it disrespectful to name a monkey after King George VI (aka Queen Elizabeth's dad).

It even manages to make me not mind Will Ferrell. lol There were sequels, though. I'm guessing you never saw 'Follow That Monkey!'? Tip: don't. It's so much more bland. Unless you're absolutely dying to see Tim Curry as an ignorant elephant-owning magician. And I didn't even end up bothering with the third one, 'Back to the Jungle'.

I miss when life was much simpler when this was released. I forgot how sweet and wholesome this movie was; there’s no gross out humor, no adult jokes, just straight good vibes for a little over an hour and a half.

This is one of the most safe, kid friendly movies out there, but that's not a bad thing. The fact that it's so family friendly and wholesome is what makes it great, and to this day I still love everything about it.

    I still love Curious George. They say it's a kids show, but it's better than most "adult" shows out there

      You’d don’t like adult shows?

    The joke where Ted talks to the guy beeping in traffic and him saying “Well that’s not physical possible for me to do, so there!” Implying that the dude told him to go f himself is so funny I legitimately can’t believe that made it to the final movie

    This movie is so good. But I never realize how beautiful the animation is. I wish to see more 2D animation movie

      Yee but the lighting should be toned down just a bit but still sooooooooooo pretty

    Honestly I really liked this movie. I think it had a lot of heart, some good comedy, and some gorgeous 2d animation.
