Curious George
Who's to say
What's impossible
Well, they forgot
And with each new day
I can feel a change
in everything
And as the surface breaks,
reflections fade
But in some ways,
they remain the same
And as my mind begins to
spread its wings
There's no stopping curiosity
I want to turn the whole thing
upside down
I'll find the things
they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find
with everyone
We'll sing and dance
to Mother Nature's songs
I don't want this feeling to go away
Who's to say
I can't do everything
Well, I can try
And as I roll along
I begin to find
Things aren't always just what they seem
I want to turn the whole thing
upside down
I'll find the things
they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find
with everyone
We'll sing and dance
to Mother Nature's songs
And there's no time to waste
Well, it all keeps spinning, spinning
round and round
And upside down
Who's to say what's impossible
and can't be found
I don't want this feeling to go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Is this how it's supposed to be
Is this how it's supposed to be
Now, as I was saying,
life was a constant struggle for survival.
Australopithecus had no time
to enjoy himself...
because around every corner was danger.
- Way to go.
- Oh, good one.
It wasn't until an amazing discovery...
that man was able to take time
and enjoy life.
And why was that?
What made Ogg and Grogg's life
so much better?
- A video game?
- No.
- The Internet?
- No.
- A rocket sled?
- A mountain of chocolate.
- Star stickers?
- No.
- Look. No, no, that wasn't a real question.
- Peanut butter?
That's right.
Fire.
Look at that. Impressive, huh?
Miss Dunlop, why do we have to come
to this boring museum every single week?
It's not boring. It's very interesting.
This led to hot dinners.
- Eventually became the microwave.
- Three, two, one.
Oh! Oh, no.
Hot. Fire's hot.
Yes. Where was I?
- Hey, is that a real spear?
- Can we play with it?
Kids, a museum is a place
where we observe. We don't play.
- This stinks.
- What else can we do?
- Yeah, this is boring.
- Children, be polite.
- Lunchtime!
- Yeah, lunch.
Lunchtime? It's only 9:00 a. m.
Buddy system. Stay with your buddies.
Oh, well, each kid has a buddy
so they can all keep track of each other.
Everyone needs a partner, right?
Oh, yeah. I'm not following.
Well...
- Lungfish!
- Excuse me?
Next Thursday, I'm going to talk
to your class about the lungfish...
the closest living relative of the tetrapods.
- It's pretty great.
- I look forward to hearing it.
You know, I look forward
to all your Thursday lectures.
I wish today was Thursday.
- I mean, I know that it's Thursday.
- Don't worry.
- I just meant, when it's not, I wish it was.
- It's not a big deal.
Here.
I should go catch up to my lungfish.
I mean, class.
Way to go, Maggie.
Way to go.
I'll see you next week, Miss Dunlop.
Oh, how embarrassing.
- Ted?
- Mr Bloomsberry.
Walk with me, Ted.
I'm afraid that Ogg and Grogg,
all of our friends here...
they're just not bringing in the crowds
like they used to.
What do you mean?
It breaks my heart,
but I have to sell the museum. We're broke.
Broke?
Mr Bloomsberry, the museum can't close!
I have no choice, Ted.
Museum attendance is down.
No one's buying anything
from the gift shop.
Even the glow-in-the-dark star stickers?
Even the glow-in-the-dark star stickers.
Man, I love those.
I especially love the Milky Way... Wait!
What will happen to the museum?
- Well, I'm glad you asked.
- Junior?
Lt'll be torn down
and a parking lot put in its place...
with high hourly rates
and no daily maximums.
Ka-ching!
The world doesn't need another parking lot.
where kids' brains can grow.
Exactly. That's why I'm thinking...
they can grow trying to count
all the spaces in the new parking lot.
Come on. How fun is that?
- He's not serious, is he?
- Well...
It's time, Father.
We're not going to get a better offer.
I know. I know.
Wait. What if we did something?
What if we got an amazing new exhibit?
You know, Ted, you need to worry
about finding an amazing new job.
- Well, hold on, Junior.
- But I was just trying... Oh, great.
Ted, if you have an idea,
now is the time to speak up. What exhibit?
Yes, what exhibit?
- It's the...
- Yes?
- The famous and...
- Yes.
- And rare, of course...
- Yes. Yes.
- The incredible...
- Come on.
- Spit it out.
- Don't be shy, Ted. Come on.
What about the Lost Shrine of Zagawa?
Oh, my goodness.
I'm sorry. "The lost... "
You lost me at, "the lost. "
It's an ancient idol.
Twenty tons of granite...
carved by 1,000 craftsmen over a 100 years.
I had all the charts ready.
I was all set to go to Africa
when something happened.
Slips my mind.
Hello, how about the birth of your only son?
That would be me.
Yes, then I began another adventure,
raising Junior.
Well, now that that's done,
you can finally finish what you've started...
- Yeah! The Lost Shrine of Zagawa.
You'll put this museum on the map.
- I'll need a team of 10 men.
- Oh, at least 10.
It's a four-day hike into the jungle.
You go, girl.
I mean, sir.
We'll be cutting through heavy brush
for 12 hours a day.
Look out.
Here comes the Bloomsberry Express!
- Yes! Yes!
- Next stop archeological fame and fortune!
I'm going to discover
the Lost Shrine of Zagawa!
- A little help here.
- Hey, watch it!
I forgot something.
I am really, really old.
Can I have the Bloomsberry Express
pull into the reality station...
and sign here, initial here. Nope, not there.
Did I just say that? I can't do that.
I don't even ride the bus.
Maybe they didn't hear me.
I'm sorry, sir. You were saying?
Excellent idea, Ted.
He did hear me.
Him? You've got to be kidding me.
Ted is not an explorer.
- He raises a good point.
- Nonsense.
With my maps and my journals,
a six-year-old could find the shrine.
Thank you, I think.
Come on.
Let's get you ready for your big adventure.
Now, Ted, the journal won't take you
right to the idol.
- It won't?
- No, you have to use your instincts.
- About that, sir, I don't have any.
- Don't be silly. It'll be fun.
Sorry, Ted.
But that's as close
as you're ever going to get...
to the precious Lost Shrine
of Zaga-wah-wah-wah...
Why does my father like you best?
It's not fair. I've got the ponytail.
Okay, Ted, the trick is to look
like you know what you're doing.
Now, where's the door?
Yellow? Six dozen yellow suits?
Tony, what, are you goofy?
We can't sell these things.
Hey, me goofy? Forget about it.
The big guy says move them, we move them.
Oh, yeah, sure,
but what kind of meatball would buy these?
Excuse me?
I'm here to be professionally outfitted
for a jungle expedition.
Showtime.
Good day, mate.
