Release Body: Travelling abroad with kids can be more than a handful,
but Ferry Company Stena Line have come up with
a new way to entertain the youngsters and keep them from monkeying
around. Following on from the successful summer campaign,
Stena Line will be re-introducing famous cartoon chimp
-Curious George, who will appear in full costume
onboard five of their ships on the Irish Sea during the October
half term holidays, and then again over the Christmas break.
The
monkey business will be taking place in the Stena Line
(http://www.stenaline.co.uk/stena_line/gb/stena_line_uk.html)
kids' areas, where Curious George will appear on
the following ships:
 |
Stena
Voyager, (Stranraer – Belfast route)
Stena Explore (Holyhead – Dun Laoghaire
route),
Stena Adventurer, (Holyhead
– Dublin route),
Stena
Europe, (Fishguard
– Rosslare route),

Children

George goodies, including a set of postcards to colour

Irish Sea sailings, there will also be the opportunity to
win a family holiday to Universal Studios Hollywood
with an onboard kids colouring prize draw. The money-can’t-buy
prize will include a VIP tour to meet the Curious
George animators.
Curious
George first started life as a series of children's
books in 1941 which later became a series of animated TV films,
a video game and then a full length feature film in 2006 (starring
the voices of Drew Barrymore and Will Ferrell). The story
features Ted, a museum guide who travels to Africa in an attempt
to obtain a huge ancient ruin which is under threat from demolition,
which could save his struggling museum. Instead, Ted brings
back a mischievous, childlike monkey who inadvertently causes
all kinds of trouble for him. |
A
new TV series of Curious George, due be broadcast
on ITV, will see Curious George return with another
set of adventures, narrated by primetime Emmy Award winner
William H. Macy (Seabiscuit, Pleasantville).
