Typical. I really hope there's no potty humor, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I also hope Yogi and Boo Boo look cute and themselves, but again after Alvin, I don't know. It's going to be different and I wonder what the movie could possibly explore... maybe a role reversal on "Hey There" and have Cindy missing and Yogi and Boo Boo have to save her?Reuters wrote:The project, culled from Warners' vast library, is planned as a live-action/animated hybrid along the lines of Fox's 2007 hit "Alvin & the Chipmunks." Much of the movie will be live action, but Yogi Bear and sidekick Boo Boo will be done in CG animation.
That gives me some hope.Reuters wrote:"Surf's Up" co-helmer/co-writer Ash Brannon will direct the film... Brannon has worked on such Pixar hits as "Toy Story 2" and "A Bug's Life."

Well, that would be the OTHER reason--
Now, maybe they'll get around to finishing the rest of those vintage-HB DVD sets, and we'll actually see Quick-Draw and Huck v2 on disk.
(It's certainly a better use of Warner-HB's time than trying to revive the Banana Splits, just because we wanted "New Adventures of Huck Finn" on disk...)

I wouldn't mind seeing the original Banana splits again. I loved watching the reruns when they ran on CN during the early 90's ^___^
As for Yogi.... Who is this film being made for??? I seriously don't understand why they keep making these films based on characters that today's kids don't really know, and adult fans won't really care to see in CG.
The Chipmunks may have been a hit, but I don't really see Yogi having that same appeal.

Hey There, It's Yogi Bear has already been announced for release on December 2nd ..
I'm with EricJ; I think a Huckleberry Hound, volume 2 DVD boxed set (which would contain as-yet-unreleased Yogi Bear short cartoon segments) would be the ideal 'movie tie-in' DVD release. :idea:
.. and (as long as we're dreaming), a Quickdraw McGraw DVD set would be awesome, too. Y'know .. because he's one of Yogi's friends!
.. more likely, we'll see releases of stuff like Yogi's Ark or Hanna-Barbera's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics DVD sets, instead. (but, who am I kidding; I'd buy those, too )
---------------
As for the movie itself: I'd agree that it's not 'necessary' .. and perhaps not something fans may have been clamoring for.
But -- while similar projects (such as Scooby Doo, Garfield, and The Chipmunks) may not be the best movies in the world -- they were respectable money-makers. Plus which, they each kept a good-sized crew of animation artists employed for a year or more. Both of these are good things (for the animation artist community).
Warner Bros has also placed Ash Brannon, a very talented director with a strong animation background, in charge of the Yogi Bear movie .. so there is actually a chance the storytelling might be good.
