Plots(1)
Jellystone Park has been losing business, so Mayor Brown has decided to shut it down and sell the land. That means families will no longer be able to experience the natural beauty of the outdoors - and, even worse, Yogi and his pal Boo Boo will be tossed out of the only home they’ve ever known. Faced with his biggest challenge ever, Yogi must prove that he really is “smarter than the average bear” as he and Boo Boo join forces with Ranger Smith to find a way to save the park from closing forever. (official distributor synopsis)

I unexpectedly liked Yogi Bear and his little friend Bubu. The biggest problem, of course, is the script, which we've seen at least ten times before. I was also disappointed with Anna Faris, who I didn't even recognize at first. I agree that Tom Cavanagh wasn't great either. On the other hand, Justin Timberlake rocked! Pleasantly short, colorful, and quite funny. I see this as an average film on all fronts.

Cartoons in the Hanna-Barbera tradition had their charms, but this one works a little differently. I dread to see what other old cartoons will fall victim to the contemporary fashion of live-action remakes. Pixie and Dixie? Huckleberry Hound? The Raccoons? Care Bears? At any rate, the current youth is very happy and the gags make one forget even such silliness as pronouncing Jellystone Park as something that should be made of jelly.
