Directed by Matthew O'Callahan
Starring the voice talents of Will Ferrell, Drew Barrymore, Dick Van Dyke, David Cross and Frank Welker (he's done A LOT, including the voice of Abu from "Aladdin")
When the Man in the Yellow Hat (named Ted) tries to save the museum he works at from being turned into a parking garage, he forms a special kinship with the curious little monkey that followed him from Africa.
Okay, I know what you're thinking: What is this movie doing on this list? Well, let me axe you a question: Do you like to smile? 'Cause I do! So therefore, this movie made the list! This monkey will make you smile. This film will make you smile and if you don't, clearly you have no soul.
Also, I gotta say, I appreciate the 2-D animation. Instead of eff'n up a childhood memory (*cough cough* Garfield), this film was very reminiscent of the books I grew up with. Sure they gave The Man in the Yellow Hat a name but I guess without a narrator, it wouldn't make much sense for the other characters to be constantly calling him "The Man in the Yellow Hat" - he could develop quite the complex growing up like that.
Anyway, the movie was funny and cute. 'Nuff said.
