Curious George

Curious George has built a real following in the US on Hulu and Peacock Premium among viewers who do not usually seek out animation. With 15 seasons behind it, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. 135 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Frank Welker's voice work is a big part of what makes it distinctive. Available now on Hulu — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Curious George earns its spot. The look of Curious George gets people in the door, but the writing is what keeps them there. With the help of his friend “The Man in the Yellow Hat,” a curious little monkey named George sets out on adventures to learn about the world around him. Frank Welker and Jeff Bennett bring more to it than the format typically demands. It ran for 15 seasons (2006–2022), and the writing holds up across every one of them. What makes Curious George more than a curiosity is writing that would hold up in any format. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Genuinely enjoyable for a wide range of viewers, Curious George treats animation as a delivery mechanism, not a limitation. If you have already watched Wild Kratts, Curious George is a natural next step. The 15-season run rewards the patience it asks of you. Frank Welker brings more to the role than the format usually demands. A harder one to justify skipping than to start.
