Coco, der neugierige Affe - Feiert Weihnachten

My son was very young when this came out, so this has been one of our traditional Christmas shows we watched every year since. He always enjoyed Curious George, and I really loved how this one showed all the things they did together in the days leading up to Christmas that built their own memories.

The songs are great, and one of the things that he always loved best about it. So enjoyable that we have the MP3's so we could listen to the soundtrack in the car during the Christmas season.

The only reason I didn't give it the 10 stars is that there was such a focus on George and what toys he wanted, and how the Man with the Yellow Hat thought it would ruin Christmas if he couldn't get the right gifts. Seemed a bit too stressed since the entire show leading up to that point was about all the OTHER things that Christmas means.

But it's enjoyable, and a staple in this house now every Christmas.

This is by far the best Christmas movie ever made, even being an adult, it still has such a charm to it. It has such a wholesome storyline and overall general atmosphere. The best part is that all of most of the regular characters from the normal shows or other specials return. It really does take you back and makes you feel like a child again, just the art style and the voice acting are exceptional, making this movie absolutely a must watch, even for grown people. My only complaint is that the streaming versions of this, especially prime video, it has been upsampled and looks absolutely garbage, if you are going to watch it for any amount of time you must get the DVD version for the best experience.

A touching special, but not very exciting, and not as enjoyable as the Curious George Halloween special. The nice thing is that the plot is built around the monkey and the Man with the Yellow Hat's mutual anxiety to find a suitable present for one another. That is admirable, but it doesn't carry the episode for the 40 or so minutes it runs. Also, they live in an upscale Manhattan apartment in this episode; what happened to the New England farm of the Halloween special? One continuity is that Bill is selling festive accessories again, this time Christmas trees instead of pumpkins.

We watch this show every Christmas season, one of only a few must-sees. The plot is cute, the characters might be taken as simplistic, but they have unique eccentricities, and the songs slap! Christmas monkey? ...awesome. Do fish know that it is Christmas? ...a classic the kids break out with year round. You won't be able to get them out of your head. The chair in the tree bit is fun, the messes George gets into are creative and well played, distinctive animation. Who knew you could get pathos from a cartoon monkey. There are Easter eggs referencing other Christmas shows. Seriously, this is a joy.

Le Monke is amazing and wonderful eye opening visuals truly an art and a masterpiece for anyone willing to sit and just watch.
