Ken Kaufman wrote the screenplay based on a story by him and Mike Werb. Ron Howard, David Kirschner, and John Shapiro produced. It was released on 10 February 2006 by Universal Pictures. It stars Will Ferrell as Ted, the Man in the Yellow Hat, who embarks on a mission to restore the museums reputation by finding a fabled statue, only to come across George accidentally. The film costars Drew Barrymore, Dick Van Dyke, David Cross, Eugene Levy, Joan Plowright, and Frank Welker as George.The film had been under development at Imagine Entertainment for a long time, dating back at least 1992, but it is possible that it was conceived years before. Although a traditionally animated film, it blends animation with computer-generated, 3D scenery and objects that take up 20% of its environment. The film was Universals theatrical feature-length entirely animated film since Balto, released in 1995, and also Imagines first animated film. It features a musical score by Heitor Pereira, with songs produced by the musician Jack Johnson.The film grossed $69.8 million from a $50 million budget and has a 69% approval rating at Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it a bright, sweet, faithful adaptation.
