The naughty little monkey from Margret Rey and H.A. Rey's beloved children's stories makes the leap to the big screen in this animated adaptation. Ted (voice of Will Ferrell) is an explorer with a large yellow hat who is good friends with Bloomsberry (voice of Dick Van Dyke), who runs a natural history museum. Bloomsberry's greedy son, Bloomsberry Junior (voice of David Cross), wants to tear down his dad's museum and put a parking ramp in its place, but the elder Bloomsberry is convinced that a spectacular new exhibit could save the museum from the wrecking ball. Ted heads to Africa on an expedition to find some special artifacts that will keep his friend in business, but while he's there he befriends a playful monkey he calls George (voice of Frank Welker). While George is friendly, he has a taste for mischief and seems to always get Ted in hot water; Ted thinks he's seen the last of his simian friend when his ship heads back to America, until he discovers that George managed to hide aboard the boat before it set sail. Ted's search for a eye-catching exhibit proved to be a failure, and Ted and his good friend Maggie (voice of Drew Barrymore), a schoolteacher who's sweet on him, struggle to find of a way to save Bloomsberry's museum. But time becomes precious for Ted when George has an entire new city to explore. Curious George features a handful of original songs composed for the film by surfer-turned-singer/songwriter Jack Johnson. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Angel (David Boreanaz) searches for information about The Beast (Vladimir Kulich) while dealing with the emotional fallout of Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) and Connor (Vincent Kartheiser) sleeping together. Meanwhile, Cordy continues to spurn Connor's affections even as she hides out from The Beast with him. Meanwhile, electrified cat burglar Gwen Raiden (Alexa Davalos) witnesses The Beast murdering one of her clients. She shares her information with Angel's crew, who soon realize that somebody is systematically destroying the five members of the Ra-tet, an ancient mystical order to which The Girl in the White Room also belonged. By the time this pattern becomes clear, only one member remains alive: Manny (Jack Kehler), a rather ordinary-looking guy who is actually the mystical entity Manjet. Cordy and Angel bunker down to protect Manny at Gwen's high-tech apartment, but he's nonetheless murdered when both of them fall hopelessly asleep; it appears that Cordy and Angel have been drugged -- an inside job that furthers suspicions about Connor being in league with The Beast. Eventually, the gang square off against their colossal foe, who uses the combined power of the Ra-tet to complete a mystical ritual that blots out the sun. Perpetual night descends on Los Angeles just as Cordelia finally gets a complete read on the vision that's been skirting the edges of her consciousness: She suddenly knows that The Beast shares a connection not with Connor, but with Angelus, Angel's evil alter ego. Originally broadcast Jan. 22, 2003, on the WB network, "Long Day's Journey" marked season four, episode nine of the supernatural soap opera. ~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide
