Great Ape

Wetzone hosts a night of monkey business

By Patrick Williams

Published on July 12, 2007

You can keep your 2006 fully animated version of Curious George, about the inquisitive ape and his friend The Man in the Yellow Hat, voiced by Will Ferrell. Whatever, kid. Those who know better understand the sine qua non of George, the proper way to ingest him, is in pajamas, noshing a bowl of Cap'n Crunch and basking in the kindly voice of Captain Kangaroo as he reads the stories to you. Chacun à son goût, you little house apes. Some like Mad Dog, some prefer Bordeaux. You li'l philistines can go to Wetzone Waterpark, 5304 Main St. in Rowlett, where you can float (for God's sake) and watch the film. It begins 8 p.m. Friday and is included in the park’s $7 admission price. Call 972-412-6266.
Fri., July 13, 8 p.m.
