Monkey Business
Streaming video - 2017
Curious George is the most popular monkey in the world. Since his introduction in 1941, the beloved series has sold over 75 million books in more than 25 languages. MONKEY BUSINESS explores the lesser-known tale of George’s creators, Hans and Margret Rey. After their four-week honeymoon to Paris turned into a four-year residency, they accidentally became children’s book authors when a publisher suggested they create a book out of a cartoon Hans had drawn. Being German Jews, however, their life in Paris abruptly came to an end in June 1940 when the Reys were forced to escape from the Nazis by riding makeshift bicycles—a manuscript of the first Curious George book was one of the few possessions they could smuggle out with them. Arriving... in New York as refugees, they started their life anew and over the next three decades they created a classic that continues to touch the hearts and minds of children around the world. Winner of Best Documentary Feature at the **Fargo Film Festival**. Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature at the **Nantucket Film Festival**.
