Yogi Bear Movie Reviews

He's big, brown, benign and bumbling. Everything that makes Yogi such a big hit. Add to this, his insistence on being smart and city-bred, and you have a recipe for loads of goofy fun. Pay attention to this. Yogi hates to be any old bear. He hates to `forage' in the wilds for food. He hates to catch fish with his paw. And he hates to leave the limelight. So what does he love? His favourite pastime is to invent ways and means to steal the pic-a-nic hampers

A combination of Borscht Belt comedian and Hanna-Barbera animation, Yogi Bear was a clever enough creation, so that more than 50 years later, we still can’t help but impersonate his “pic-a-nic” basket and “Ay, Boo Boo!” Inspired by Art Carney’s Ed Norton from The Honeymooners and originally voiced by Daws Butler, Yogi Bear has always had an intelligence that surpasses that of your typical clawed mammalia.

Yogi Bear may engage kids under five, but that is doubtful too. It's slow and there aren't enough thrills or antics to grab someone with the attention span of a fly.

Unless you had an unprivileged childhood (read: no cable), your cartoon-watching experience would be incomplete, had you been ignorant of Yogi Bear and his pic-a-nic basket-snatching antics. The brown bears at Jellystone Park are like the Laurel And Hardy of yore, one being the rascal and the other being the feeble voice of reason. Then there is a Park Ranger who bumbles and fumbles his way day after day and who could well do without YB's shenanigans
