Watch this video on YouTube.

The NASA Mars Rover Curiosity is a marvel of engineering  and one of the great NASA success stories. Launched from Earth on November 26, 2011, Curiosity landed on Mars on August 6, 2012. It’s mission includes taking surveys of the Martian geology and climate and transmitting that data back to NASA. The data will be analyzed and implemented for a future manned mission to Mars.

The above video is the best animation that I’ve seen which details the launch, flight, landing and deployment of the Curiosity Rover. So, go to full screen, strap yourselves in and take the trip to Mars.
