He’s so cute!!! A lot cuter than he was in previous cartoons. The movie was a lot of fun, basically a kids movie. And did I mention how cute he was!?!?!
Anyway, I have like 20 movies to review, so I’ll try to zoom past these. I’ll also start giving my rating (Xyon’s recommendation), though I’m not going back to update all the previous ones.

Movie’s pretty simple. Ted (the guy in the yellow safari suit) goes to the African jungle to search for a lost 40ft statue in hopes that it’ll attract enough people in New York city to go to their museum, or else it’d close and be turned into a parking lot.
In Africa, he meets this cute monkey which follows him all the way home. George being curious gets into trouble and Ted saves him most of the time. Ted sends him away, but later realizes that the monkey has been the best part of his life so far and goes and finds the monkey again.
Storyline was decent, but you just have to see it for the cute monkey.
One thing I was expecting but didn’t get was when the press started taking pictures of the cute monkey, I thought everyone was lining up to see the monkey and not the statue. Guess I was wrong.
Finally, I don’t get what gives them the right to take the monkey statue from Africa and put it in an American museum. This is such a controversial topic.
