The long put-off feature length movie based on the Curious George children's book series is finally seeing the green light of production. Curious George has seen many different possible incarnations.

First, it was going to done with traditional animation. Then, it was going to be a live-action movie. Finally, it was going to be a mix of live-action and animation. Well, none of these scenarios panned out and it finally took the power of a green ogre named Shrek to make this project a reality.

Curious George will use the same photo-realistic animation as Shrek and production should start soon. No cast or release date has been attached yet.
