Explorer Ted (Ferrell) journeys to Africa hoping to recover an important artifact for his friend Bloomsberry (Van Dyke), a museum director. Instead, however, he discovers an irrepressible little primate named George, who stows away on the ship back to New York City. There, Ted tries to stop plans to demolish the museum, but he has his hands full taking care of his new simian friend, whose curiosity may turn out to be more beneficial than anyone had imagined.
Reviews
"It's good old-fashioned family entertainment." – Time Out
"Visually, the movie benefits from a charming animation style, a traditional 2-D approach layered with shadows and backlit halos. But it benefits most from George, still worming his way into people's hearts." – The Houston Chronicle
