Beloved PB&J lovin’ toon Yogi Bear gets the 3D treatment in a new live-action movie. Dan Aykroyd and not-singer Justin Timberlake star as Yogi and Boo Boo, Christine Taylor as Cindy, Anna Faris, Tom Cavanagh, Andrew Daly and T.J. Miller star as real people. You have to hear JT’s voice as Boo Boo–it sounds exactly like the original cartoon voice. Studio magic? Or castration? I’ll leave it to you to decide.
Yogi Bear 3D hits theaters on December 17. Here’s the premise and trailer:
Jellystone Park has been losing business, so greedy Mayor Brown (Daly) decides 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 (Aykroyd) and Boo Boo (Timberlake) 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 their old nemesis Ranger Smith (Cavanagh) to find a way to save Jellystone Park from closing forever.
Eh, it doesn’t tickle my pickle. My vision for a Yogi Bear live-action remake would include bears throwing poop at each other and eating salmon whole. Some karate too. And maybe a human chase scene worth of a segment on I Shouldn’t Be Alive. Yeah, so I’m basically rooting for the big screen version of this:
And for those Hanna-Barbera fans who prefer pussy to bears (don’t you all raise your hands at the same time now), this obviously opens the door to the long-awaited SNAGGLEPUSS movie!!!
