Plots(1)
The film features the voice talents of Dan Aykroyd as Yogi and Justin Timberlake as his loyal sidekick Boo Boo. When mean old Mayor Brown (Andrew Daly) decides to close Jellystone Park down and sell off the land, Yogi and Boo Boo join forces with nature documentary filmmaker Rachel (Anna Faris) and their old adversary Ranger Smith (Tom Cavanagh) to save the park for all its visitors and furry forest inhabitants. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)

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.
