It’s important to remember that in Curious George, while they applied the name “Ted” to his friend in tbe movie, across all other media he is simply “The Man in the Yellow Hat”. He has no name.

I posit that in prior movies they applied the names “Joe”, “Manco”, and “Blondie”… but he remains the Man With No Name.

The exploration of the world looking for adventure continues… only the hat color has changed.

Just watched the Curious George Halloween special and it has a reference to Jack Kirby in it for some reason (there's a machine called the Kurtzberg 828; Kirby was born Jacob Kurtzberg and 8/28 was his birthday). I'm sure there's nothing more to it than one of the writers was a Kirby fan, but it feels a little out of left field in a way it wouldn't in, say, a comic book adaptation.

"average monkey has 3 adventures a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average monkey has 0 adventures per year. Curious Georg, who lives in cave & has over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Today in Writing History May 16, 1906: Margaret Rey was born. Rey was an author an illustrator of children’s books. She cowrote the Curious George books with her husband H.A. Rey. Born in Germany to Jewish parents, she studied art at Bauhaus and later worked in advertising. In 1935, she fled Germany to escape the Nazis, moving to Rio de Janeiro. There she met H.A. Rey, also a German Jew who had fled the Nazis. Many of us remember the Curious George stories fondly. George was a monkey, who was kind of like an adorable little boy. Yet in every one of the stories, he does something naughty that disappoints his “daddy,” (The man in the Yellow Hat), and has to win back his affection doing something dangerous. In one story, he is exploited by a cook and must wash dishes without pay. In another, he is hired as a window washer on a skyscraper. Even his origin story is fraught, with the Yellow Hatted Man kidnapping him from his home in Africa. In this video clip, hear Werner Herzog’s take on the stories:
