I wanted to watch scenes from it as it was one of my favorite childhood movies, but I can’t seem to find the live action version that I remember online. I looked on youtube, google, and i’ll see if I have the DVD later. I’ll be very surprised if even that is animated.
This is really tripping me out. Does anyone have information? Was it erased from existence somehow?
I have the DVD. It came with "[Shazaam](https://www.google.com/search?q=Shazaam&safe=active&sca_esv=21a6b12fa57c4177&rlz=1C1GCCA_enUS1171US1171&ei=ot7CafmmDvK8p84PpJ3JuAQ&biw=1602&bih=855&ved=2ahUKEwjI9MSKn7mTAxVW1RoGHdc5JyAQgK4QegYIAQgAEAQ&uact=5&oq=Shzaam+with+sinbad&gs_lp=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&sclient=gws-wiz-serp)" is a 2 movie set.

What is more likely, the existence of a movie has been completely erased from history, or you misremembering your childhood?

If only there were some kind of database of movies on the internet where people could look up things like this 🤦🏼♂️
Maybe it was something like *Monkey Trouble* with Thora Birch?

There‘s a lot of kids movies with monkeys this could be. It’s going to be hard to narrow down.

There's a movie called Monkeybone (2001) with Brendan Frasier that's live action with a cgi monkey very similar to Curious George.

I'm guessing it's confusion between this, George of the Jungle (also with Brendan Frasier) and the animated Curious George movie.

No, that entire movie is animated

Google is your friend, sir.
That 2006 Curious George was 100% animated with Will Ferrell doing the voice of the man in the yellow hat.
