The film served as the series finale to the Curious George TV series, which ended on April 1st of that year.
Plot
George is asked to fly into space to by a man named Houston to initiate "Project Stop Flooding". His mission is to take the RDS (which is a custom built tool that controls dams in Central Africa to stop flooding) and remove it from a satellite in space. The satellite is broken, and when George brings the RDS to Earth, he will install it at one of the dams. Ted (The Man With the Yellow Hat) agrees, but only if George can complete the training. George does complete the training and goes into space. While he is in space, he almost loses the RDS, and his space capsule freefalls to Earth. This was because George's water destroyed the controls. George ejects, but is lost in Central Africa.
Houston, Andrew, and Ted fly to Central Africa to find George. He could be within a 500-mile radius. Five search teams are looking for him, but later Ted goes out to find George. Ted has no communication with Houston, and George could be far, far, away.
