If you're going to see this movie beware.. You just might be labled as a person who is ok with animal abuse. ( See the snip below )

"The books are really irresponsible to me. It's sickening, really," said Robin Roth, managing editor of www.arkonline.com, an animal welfare Web site.

Start with the Caucasian, gun-carrying Man with the Yellow Hat venturing to Africa (imperialism alert!) to harvest wildlife for a zoo (animal repression alert!). Continue with George being unsupervised and allowed to smoke a pipe and huff ether (bad parenting alert!), and it's a wonder there aren't pickets already forming around movie theaters.

Roth, a high school English teacher in Los Angeles, writes on her animal rights Web site that "Curious George" reveals "the sinister side of a corrupt wildlife trade with perilous roots in Western imperialism." When the mischievous George is sent to jail, "the picture of the forlorn little primate alone in his cell conjures haunting images of countless monkeys lingering in laboratories, suffering silently and alone."

Lol...... :rotfl2:
 
I took my dd (4) to see it yesterday and we both loved it. I always remember my father reading Curious George books to me when I was little. Both my Father and I loved his stories. I even had a Curious George stuffed animal. :wave2:
 

OMG!! You're kidding about this RIGHT?? ANIMAL CRUELTY??? You are on the DISBoards so you like Disney. Disney is primarily based on animation. You wanna tell me ONE disney movie that some liberal freak wouldnt classify as animal cruelty?

Pinnochio - Monstro swallows wooden boy - gets slivers.

101 Dalmations - a coat made of puppies

Monsters Inc - Kids being tortured at night and you know the family cat is under the bed scared out of its wits.

Bambi - Hey Mamma, how's that grass over there taste....wait why is the grass red???

So you must be one of the cruelest people on the planet.

You have also been FLAMED. :furious:

I am a little tired and grouchy this morning already arent I??? :rotfl:
 
Oh well...DH, DS, and I went to see it yesterday and we all enjoyed it! :thumbsup2
 
I think I'll go watch it today to protest for animal cruelty. Because if watching cartoons mean I condone abusing poor defenseless animals, then I am obviously not doing enough cosmetic animal testing on my three cats and the dog.
 
Curious George was a favorite of mine as a child. DD and I have read the collection and saw the movie last night. It was cute.

Is it a conflict that I am an avid animal lover?????? :confused3

Have rescued many animals from dogs to birds to snakes to ferrets to iguanas and rabbits. Currently foster family for dogs
 
OK. UM...... :confused3

the only reason we don't have plans to see it cause it is for small children.
 
The authors of the story have way to much time on their hands. The definitely need to get a life!
 
It was funny and we all enjoyed it!

But, it's just a story!

You ever see Bambi, 101 dalmations, Lady and the Tramp, The three Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood?
Ever read any Grimm's Fairy Tales?

It's just a story like all the rest!
 
Give me a break!!!! He's a cute little monkey that lives with the "man with the yellow hat", ok so there may be some weird Michael Jackson like similarities to the story but George doesn't seem too upset. :banana:
