It's No Boo-Boo!! Warner Bros. Loaded For Live Action/CGI YOGI BEAR Feature!!
I am – Hercules!!
“Surf’s Up” director Ash Brannon and “That ‘70s Show” writers Joshua Sternin and Jeffrey Ventimilia are teaming for a “Garfield”-ish “Space Jam”-ish “Scooby-Doo”-ish “Yogi Bear” movie that will see live actors interacting with picnic-basket craving CGI forest beasts.
Yogi, a creation of television, made his debut in a 1958 episode of "The Huckleberry Hound Show."

never mind.
-
After Scooby Doo popped the cherry, I was waiting for someone to rape the rest of the Hanna-Barbera cannon. Why stop with Yogi? Who doesn't want to see a CGI Huckleberry Hound? The possibilities are limitless!
-
Hey, Dean Yager!
-
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!!!!
But I bet they do. -
They coyuld do a live-action Banana Splits show! Oh wait. That was live-action.
-
...to come up with a smartass remark, but words fail me. We're slipping into the abyss, folks.
-
Get JJ Abrams to direct it and make it an origins movie because I really want to know just where the fuck that bear got his hat and shirtless collar with a tie outfit.
-
I included a "y" in the word could because I wanted to ask the question: "Why, God, is this being made?"
-
Oh dear. It's going to be like the Scooby Doo live action movies all over again. The horror.
-
I'm hoping it'll be like the John Kristafulci version in which Boo-Boo and the girl bear go feral! I'd pay for that!
-
sweet.
-
Will Ferrell as the ranger.
-
either Chris Colbert or Steve Carell
-
do you mean steven colbert? that dude has a whole comedy schtick thing for bears.
-
This movie is going to suck.
-
Yup I meant Steve, was thinkin about Chris Rock for some reason. Hey that's an idea! He'd make a GRRRRREAT Ranger Smith! Too bad we'll prolly get someone like Jason Lee.
-
As ranger Smith. Oh, God, I'm coming up with casting ideas. I go now to my own demise.
-
Will Ferrell and Jack Black covered in BBQ sauce and 2 live starving Grizzly bears. If this isn't the premise, you can count me out.
-
...to star Sarah Jessica Parker. And by the way, bears who wear hats and/or ties are awesome. This movie will be this generation's JAWS, only with ferocious bears who devour people and wear ties.
-
steven colbert will not be happy about this... I'm glad you guys already brought him up. I'm proud of you.
-
The last sign of the apocalypse.
-
Is what I just made in my pants after reading this......
-
...the shark in JAWS really should've worn a tie.
-
There. I said it.
-
this sounds wful.
-
if they used real bears and real people, featuring outtakes of bears eating members of the production crew when trying to put a hat and tie on them
-
Mr Ranger Sir!
-
its happened....shaboopie
-
Christain Slater in MY OWN WORST ENEMY
-
Daniel Day Lewis for Dastardly!!!!! DO IT!!!

Hopkins as the Ranger / Baldwin as the Bear
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Elle McPherson as the trophy wife!!! The black guy from Showgirls can get eaten by Baldwin!!! Cross Dresser Tamahori can direct! Hang on, hasn't this been done?
-
you have any hope for this flick.
-
"Ridley Scott has signed on to direct a live-action/CG version of the classic Hannah-Barbera cartoon 'Yogi Bear'. Also signed on is Russell Crowe who will play the dual role of Ranger Smith, and provide voice and motion capture for Yogi. No other casting has been announced but BO potential is of Titanic proportions."
-
... they insist on raping our childhood again and again...
-
was Linda Cardellini..maaan, she needs to get more work. Desperately underrated actress and as cute as a bugs ear. But yeah, this has all the hallmarks of crap-hopefuly itll slip away and disappesr like Alvin and The Chipmunks, without causing to much bother....also, whats wrong with just making an animated film? I mean, kids still watch the cartoons, its not as if they would be outraged if they were made to watch a feature length version with the same animation! Why do they have to go live action? WHY?
-
If this is like Scooby Poo, Crapfield or Ass Jam then it will be PooAssCrap!
-
best movie ever
-
Fuck this. If Yogi was a real bear he would be mauling people and now going after picnic baskets.
-
Epic fail.
-
It's no turd like Scooby Doo.
-
For any reason I thought about a live action Yogi just last week. (Boomerang rules!) But I thought that it would be a bad idea.
P.S.: Linda Cardellini was the 2nd cutest Velma ever. -
Wow. I had no idea that the Yogi character was that old. I think for the most part that Hannah Barbara (and WB now) has gotten their properties right on the big screen...as much as poorly animated concept driven comedies for kids can be right on the big screen. I remember enjoying The Flintstones, and Scooby Doo wasn't bad...Garfield I couldn't be bothered with, althought Bill Murray was the perfect casting, and Garfield isn't a Hannah Barabara property...anywho...sounds interesting...wonder if he'll maul anyone for a picanic baskit...?
-
... was a bit on Family Guy (which is sort of sad, really) where Mr. Ranger got fed up and busted a cap into Yogi's head... end of story. The look on Boo-Boo's face was priceless.
-
There can be no other.
-
Scott Thompson can play him all Buddy-Cole-esque.
-
TOM and JERRY- but not that pansy animated bs where they can talk and are best buddies and go off and find the magic....whatever...don't do that.
The movie should feature the CGI NON TALKING OR SINGING Cat and Mouse (and spike- gotta have HIM)
and you can toss in cameos from the duckling and the little grey mouse, too- and they just run around and beat the crap out of each other and wreck the property.
No moral lessons should be learned
No punches should be pulled.
Make it a live action cartoon that REALLY hits home.
You can even throw in a reference to the one where TOM dies and goes to Hell- that was my favorite!
Do it like that. You'll make millions. -
If you're an adultBut I guess not every movie has to be made for adults - my nephews loved the Scooby Doo films. Of course they were under ten. Sometimes kids need dumb stupid sugar rush movies full of bright colours that there parents won't enjoy.This film will be about Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo and Cindy and some corporate developers firing Ranger Smith and trying to turn Jellystone park into a theme park or a mall and 'Hey Hey' a smarter than the average bear saves the day. And steals some picinic baskets.We as Geeks do not have to take every movie personally
-
The ranger said NO!
-
Would be if it transpired that all of the Hanna Barbera talking animals were genetic experiments and their artificial brain functions started degrading - Yogi kills Ranger Smith, Magilla Gorilla rips Mr Peebles arms off and starts throwing shit everywhere - these are just the beginning examples. Soon the world is under attack by rampaging animals in hats and ties.
Make it like Dawn of the Dead but with CGI Cartoon animals. -
My expectations dropped considerably.
-
Hollywood wouldn't lie to us. Sure, I haven't gotten the bullet bending under my belt, but after watching "What the Bleep Do We Know?" I'm pretty sure those people weren't real, anyway. At least not real, like really real real. And, I can't wait 'til this comes to cartoon network, two months after its theatrical release date.
-
I'd pay to see that movie.
-
...and by ranger, of course, I mean 'sensible moviegoer'.
To be honest, I liked a few of these adaptations (ROCKY & BULLWINKLE, JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS), but not *every* cartoon show needs to be turned into a movie. In fact, someone should tattoo this message inside the eyelids of every studio head. -
"Yogi and Boo Boo wear hats and ties...but no pants. And Boo Boo isn't Yogi's son..."
Hmm, maybe get Chris Parnell as Ranger Smith? -
damn man, its tragic that that movie isnt in the pipeline...oh well, one day. Actually,I can see someone getting a comic version of that kinda story out there....if I have to take up the mantle (Im illustrating one right now) I will! With all due credit of course....
-
The director Ash Brannon co-directed Toy Story 2. He's ex-Pixar.
-
This project just got a little more interesting.
-
Don't forget, politicians don't lie to us either.I think we should let a few very hungry bears loose into capital hill and the White house and lock all the doors. We can call one of the bears Yogi if you want.
-
... but use the same painted background during the running scenes. ("Didn't they pass the same picnic table? Oh my god, there it is again! Oh, I get it: cheap tv animation!")

Pillow, did you see the video of the Bear in the Subway?
by toadkillerdog
Just hysterical! In British Columbia, a Bear opened the door - it swung outwards towards him, cooly walked in to a Subway sandwich store, climbed the counter got some vittles, then left as polite as he could be - opening the door, not smashing through it. I cried laughing so hard!
-
Do a planet of the apes species reversal with the bears in the human roles - the ranger is a bear. And they herd the last remaining humans into the forests to steal and scrounge for survival. With a CGI Rodney Dangerfield as Yogi, fiddling with his collar and tie, but otherwise naked. And Kristin Chenoweth as Yogi's companion Boob-Oo. You'd watch that.
-
please now?
-
Busta Rhymes as Yogi
Spike Lee as Boo-Boo
Billy Bob Thorton as The Ranger
written and directed by Harmony Korine -
for Rocky and Bullwinkle. Deniro slumming. Oh the humanity.... bad memory in head, must get it out.
-
I'll pay to see that.

Yogi Bear as the villian in the next Batman!
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
And Seth Rogan can play him! This needs to happen!
-
Da Doo Tron Tron by the Rolling Stones!
-
This is the wrong fucking talkback!
-
sorry for the double post
-
Fuck, I DEMAND a Go-Go Gophers movie. Right now, dammit.
-
awesome
-
awesome
-
for ranger smith
-
Since a movie would be pointless, I wanted some talented director to create a live action 5 minute short with a CG Tom and Jerry basically doing what they do, including Spike. The whole thing would be shot in a live action home, but the characters and stunts would mostly be done via CG and f/x. I'd kill for someone to do that and just show it before movies.
-
TRULY amazing! A round of applause to Hollywood execs, ladies and gentleman!
-
..Stephen Colbert would jump on this Ranger Smith role in a second. Number one, he could play the role perfectly. Number two, he would get endless mileage out of the whole "bear" end of it. This, maybe, won't be terrible.
But it probably will be. -
Jack Lemmon.
-
You know you want it.
-
that would be something to see, indeed. It sounds like a possible plot for the next Batman film. The Riddler releases grizzly bears on...well, we'll have to keep it in Gotham and we'll have to make it mutant grizzly bears (and let's add a Japanese auto worker, for Albert Brooks). And, if Bruce thought he had a hard time with Rottweilers, well..."Lucius, what do you have for bears?" "I'm glad you asked that, Mr. Wayne. I've just created anti-bear spray." Toadkillerdog, that bear COULD BE the next Yogi Bear. Fuck cgi! Even the velociraptors jumped through glass, and they were supposed to be intelligent. This guy stands and opens the door. Now, there's nowhere safe to hide!!!
-
in them. Or even updates/sequels like Tron. They think they're all cool and shit with their glow in the dark attire and whatnot. Well guess what? The bear can see you that much better glowing dumbass.John Carpenter presents...Escape from Bears.
-
I'd love to see it.
