• ... that the main menu for the 2006 Curious George video game looked so simple that a reviewer thought he had an unfinished version of the game? Source: "Everything up until the actual gameplay looked amazingly weak, and we were convinced they were demo menus." IGN
  • ALT1:... that the video game adaptation of the 2006 Curious George film features voice actors that differ from the game to the cutscenes, which were taken from the film? Source: " The rest of the voice cast is engaging enough to keep the story moving, and they sound enough like their film counterparts that it doesn't make the transitions between cutscene and gameplay dialogue too jarring." Gamespot
  • ALT2:... that the video game adaptation of the 2006 Curious George film uses cel-shaded graphics to mimic the cartoon style of the film? Source: "The game uses a method of cel-shading that gives it an appropriately cartoony look." Gamespot
    "He's nicely animated too, with an expressive face and some endearing quirks that more than do justice to the old-fashioned 2D animation of the film." Eurogamer

• Comment: My first DYK nomination, suggestions and changes welcome.

5x expanded by Yeeno (talk). Self-nominated at 21:47, 7 May 2021 (UTC).

• @Yeeno: Welcome to DYK! I've bolded the hook subject in the proposed hooks for you. The article has a new enough and large enough expansion. No QPQ needed. All three hooks are interesting (especially ALT0/1) and cited in the article with inline citations. I'm struggling with the Gameplay section, though, because it cites the game's levels and has a lot of uncited facts. (It's OK for a plot section to not have inline citations, not a gameplay section if I'm reading WP:VG standards correctly. You might want to consider what can be cited and kept and what cannot in the section; the rest is fine. Ping me when you've made changes. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:57, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

@Sammi Brie: Thanks for your suggestions! I've commented out the unsourced parts for now so I can get back to them later; everything should be sourced now. Yeeno (talk) 🍁 18:09, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

The article is OK with these changes. Hopefully the other material can return with citations, but as it stands the citation issue has been ameliorated in the Gameplay section. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:29, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Cancelled on DS

I don't know enough about articles in this area to know how or if to include cancelled platforms in the infobox, nor whether Gamespy is a reliable source in this context, so I thought I would mention this, which suggests that it was originally announced for the DS before being cancelled in case anyone feels it is appropriate to include at some point in the future.

(Seems the vandal accidentally got one right)
