DVD Review: “Curious George Swings into Spring”

Curious George Swings into Spring

Released:  March 12, 2013

Studio:  Universal Studios

Running Time:  57 minutes

You know it must be springtime if a curious monkey named George is dancing on the balcony at sunrise! George is so excited about Spring that he wants Hundley to have Spring Fever too. But even blooming flowers, baby animals and canoe rides cannot make Hundley love Spring. Even worse, Hundley gets lost in the country. Searching for his lost friend, George accidentally launches the hot air balloon rally and sails over the countryside. Luckily he manages to grab Hundley from a hilltop along the way. Together they return triumphantly to the city. The Man with the Yellow Hat, the Doorman and Lydia stage a daring rooftop balloon rescue. Not only are George and Hundley saved, but they manage to win the coveted Spring Building Prize! Finally, to George’s delight, now Hundley has Spring Fever too!

We love Curious George and this DVD was perfect to get us in the spring mood.  George learns about spring and tries to get Hundley to have Spring Fever too, but Hundley is down in the dumps.  He is dragging along.  So what do they do to get into the spring mood, launch a hot air balloon rally with a Hundley balloon in the lead as a surprise!  All of the sudden they are all in a hot air balloon on an adventure, one that only George and his friends could get into!  This DVD is super colorful with fun animation, one you can’t help but smile at and appropriate for preschoolers and up.  Even my 18-month-old laughed and laughed!
