Plot (Story)
In the beginning of the movie, we see George ([Welker|Frank Welker]) and his guardian; Ted (The Man with the Yellow Hat/ [Bennett|Jeff Bennett]) to the park to fly a kite on a very windy day. But however after Ted lets go of the kite string, George was flying high above meeting the other people, children and animals, not noticing causing trouble. When George meets Ted right at to the popcorn stand, Ted gave the angry people the payment cards and took George to [Museum|the Bloomsberry Museum] to get himself clean up while George plays around with the statues.

One moment later, [Houston|Captain Hal Houston] (voiced by [Goodman|John Goodman]) and his assistant; [Andrew|Tech Andrew] (voiced by Alexander Polinsky) came by, and he asks George to help completing the very important space mission (which is putting the RDS control to locate the satellite tower to the leaky dam in Central Africa). Ted then accepts Houston's request and lets George completes his training in the [Space Agency|GSA] "without a hitch".

After the training, before blasting off, Ted gave George his yellow hat, as a token to remember him, as George's company since he couldn't come with him. In outer space, "Space Monkey" George had manage to grab the RSD control from the inside of the space satellite. Everyone (except the nervous Ted, who's watching George on screen) was full of good cheer as Andrew located the capsule back to earth bringing George back home.

During on break, George goes monkeying around with a water squirter and accidentally squirted on the buttons, causing the capsule into a "free fall". This shocks and freaks out Ted, and he and Andrew both ordered George to immediately hit the eject button to escape, and George was suddenly parachuted onto a branch in his current home of Africa and swung over the animals (inspired from [George (2006 film)|the 2006 film]) to have explore and have fun. Meanwhile, Ted, refusing to lose his sight of his monkey, goes on his own to find and retrieve George while Houston and Andrew were stand put.

Ted anxiously learns how to fly a plane, but afterwards he crashes between both boulders on a shore and started to find George. Meanwhile, George, while wearing Ted's yellow hat, was having fun with the animals, rescuing a baby rhino from a large puddle of mud and swinging vines. The next day, George rode off with the giraffes as the zebras rode on, while an exhausted Ted sat underneath a cliff. After few seconds, George and Ted were finally together again at last and started heading back to the headquarters with Houston and Andrew.

But, George however tries to show Ted his animal friends and has being playing around in the jungle, but a furious Ted had crossed the line, telling his monkey "No" multiple times and first time scolding "Bad George!" (which his first-release-secret hidden word), making George feel guilty and hurtful. George, refusing to obey Ted's orders, angrily started turning away and walked away as Ted noticed. But just as almost grabbing George's arm to stop him, Ted suddenly heard a female voice, calling out an animal poacher. Scared and nervous, Ted ran so fast, without looking, tripping a rock and accidentally sprain his ankle, thus a gorilla Seymour; who caught up with him, scaring him with his loud roar and growling, and a woman named [Naja Kulinda|Naja Kulinda] (voiced by [Bassett|Angela Bassett]); who is an female African doctor and strongly mistakenly him as a animal prevent, not trusting or believing him as a museum director.

She took him and an enraged George (after refusing to tell Dr. Kulinda the situation) to her tree-house filled with animals, where Ted, sitting with Seymour while been tied up and his ankle being bandaged, tries to clear-out-talk about the situation to Dr. Kulinda after she shows up with George in her arms and disguising her real name to "Dr. African Scientist Worker Lady", but she refused and tells him the phones are out. Back with the headquarters, Houston and Andrew were on a search themselves to find George and Ted before the storm arrived. But Andrew, however, warned him about the storm's arrival approaching to the location, so they head back to the tent.

That night back at Kulinda's tree-house, after managing to untied the ropes, Ted, in his pajamas and a night cap, apologizes to George for calling him bad, any other such nonsense he had said, using his angry actions and he also said that he is "the best George in the whole world". George, who now feel understood, happily forgives Ted with a cuddle. Soon, then Dr. Kulinda, after waking up and along with Seymour, came by, realizing that George was really "a monkey astronaut" and Ted was the museum director after all and was George's guardian, and she feels completely understand and owes Ted her apology for being misundering and wants to show him and George the meaning of an African Lifetime. Soon enough, both Dr. Kulinda and Ted both saw George's space capsule and the dam from the tower treetop.

The next day, Dr. Kulinda and Seymour were preparing for the arrival of the storm, while Ted, George along with the help of Strich (Dr. Kulinda's ostrich) rode off to find George's capsule, where George grabs the RDS control and the radio phone. After that, Ted managed to call Houston on the radio, and Andrew puts in the location to the leaky dam. After the call, Ted and George rode on a log flow to the big river (noticing that they heading the wrong path after water slide down to the river). Then, George, while playing a jungle rhyme, seeks in the help of the groups of his animal friends to push out Ted's plane out of the boulders.

When Ted and George finally arrived to the bridge and the tower, Ted, refusing to let George gave up on his mission and deciding to throw cautions in the wind, creates a larger kite out of his map and George placed the control to the satellite tower and involves the dam. Ted announced that he'll go on the adventure with George any time as his gratitude reward. Back home to Chicago, at the GSA, Houston awards George and Ted as heroes with their metals and Andrew gifted them with a pair of rocket boasters, where Ted and George flew in the sky and have an incredible flight.
