Curious George
Curious George Beats the Band/Hats and a Hole
Since 1941, kids have delighted in the adventures of Curious George in the book series that has sold more than 27 million copies in 17 languages. Now George swings over to television. The TV series Curious George portrays the little monkey who lives to find new things to discover, touch, spill, and chew, inviting kids to explore science and math.
Based on the best-selling Curious George books by H.A. Rey and Margret Rey, the series expands George's world to include new characters and locales. Each episode includes two animated stories, followed by short live-action pieces showing real kids who are investigating the ideas that George introduces in his stories. Actor William H. Macy narrates.
Curious George Beats the Band
At the symphony, George is lost in his daydreams. Inspired by such beautiful music, George imagines playing with Hundley in space among the stars and flying from the ocean up to the sky with a friendly Loch Ness monster and a school of ducks. So when the symphony maestro announces that George is the winner of the "conductor for a day" contest, George can't believe his good fortune. He'll be making that wonderful music! But first George must learn the rhythms necessary to conduct an orchestra, and he studies and practices night and day. Sure enough, his debut goes brilliantly — until Charkie mistakes George's baton for a dog toy, and the monkey maestro has to play "keep away" without conducting his musicians into a musical frenzy.
Hats and a Hole
A hard hat, a shovel, a wheelbarrow, and a ladder — George learns that all four items are necessary when digging a gigantic hole. But why are George and the Man with the Yellow (Hard) Hat digging in their own yard? It's a surprise, and George will have to wait for the answer while the Man and Mr. Quint go help Flint Quint change a lightbulb, taking the ladder with them. But when the hats fall into the hole after a run-in with Jumpy Squirrel, how will George retrieve them? After trying this hat rescue mission with several items that are not quite long enough to reach into the bottom of the hole, George decides that a water hose might do the trick. And when he accidentally turns on the water itself, the ensuing flood turns out to be a spark of genius — not only does the water float the hats to the surface, but George discovers the true purpose for the hole.
