UPDATED W/ ROTTEN TRAILER!! Hey There! It's...Whatever....
Merrick again...
Here's a trailer. It looks worse in HD.
Merrick here...
There's going to be a Yogi Bear movie coming out this Christmas - evidently a hybrid live action/CGI piece. Yahoo has the newly released poster for it (HERE), which prominently plugs the involvement of Aykroyd and Timberlake...thus insuring there will be absolutely nothing wrong with this film.
For some reason, I just became very, very depressed and I'm not sure why. I do think the bears on the poster are kinda cute, though. Wonder how they'd fare against this one?

that's quite simply a dreadful idea for a film.
-
That driver bear is horrifying.
-
...does everything have to be 3D? I'd rather live in a world where a film being good was the priority not whether it was in 3D.
-
Interesting that the poster art shows Yogi's leg bent and the foot next to the other extended leg. Indicating that one leg is extremely longer than the other. It's this kind of Who Gives A Shit attitude that indicates how little thought (or care) went into this. Pixar would never make such an easy mistake to correct (nor I doubt, would have ever made such a stupid blunder in the first place). It reminds me of how Fox signs off on so much crap on its FANTASTIC FOUR movies because the execs could care less.

DOWN TO THE TOILET!! why'd they cover up akroyd's name?
-
...The Scooby-Doo movies progressively seem BETTER and BETTER.
-
Seriously. Those bears look like shit.
-
looks like from a Mac, too.

IT'S IN 3D! THIS IS A NOVELTY THAT SHALL ENTICE US INTO THE THEATRE! HURRAY FOR 3D WHICH MAKES MOVIES UNIQUE EVERY WEEK OF OUR LIVES!

"IS IT IN 3D? DOES A BEAR SHIT IN THE WOODS?"
by christian_bale_trashed_my_lights
This would have been a better tagline.
-
It's obvious the guys making the movie have never seen a Yogi cartoon, since the two bear-like creatures are most certainly not Boo and Yogi. But it seems that they've never even been to a goddamned pic-i-nic. There's whole wheat bread everywhere, and loads of empty baskets, too. But, aside from the pies, there ain't no pic-i-nic food! No fried chicken, no watermellon, no cookies, no lemonade, potato salad, no nothin'! What was in the baskets that they ate? (Besides the souls of children in the audience...)
-
our childhoods are urinated upon from a great height. I'm glad I don't have children, otherwise I might've been made to take them to this dreck.
-
The movie is another matter
-
And is 'Earl' playing the ranger? I bet they got 'Earl' to play the goddamned ranger. Either him, or Brenden Frasier. One of those two thespians.
-
For some reason, the first thing that came into mind was a quite violent, bloody movie where the bears take bites out of people but keep maintaining those smiles all the time.
-
And he knows it. And he cried every night. And the 3D CGI Yogi Bear is like a sad song hitting his ears, coming from an old AM radio, as he drives alone at night after losing the person he loved the most. Aykroyd is now pure sadness. And the only reason he is alive, is that Eddie Murphy exists. And he can look at a picture of Eddie Murphy and smile, and say "There is not god, but there is no god for this man as well."
-
...and the vast majority of musos who drift into acting should just go to hell. Their behaviour is absolute gluttony...stick with your one career, wingnuts....
-
Ever since the studios got on this "celebrities doing voices in animated films" kick, things have gotten worse. It kind of started when they had, "...and TIFFANY as the voice of Judy Jetson" in the Jetsons Movie all those years ago.
The only way this is worth renting is if there's a cameo by Jason Voorhees who butchers the shit out of everyone in Jellystone Park. And I mean EVERYONE. -
Would see it then.
-
I bought the origina series a year or so ago. Not very good. Hard to get through. The kids find it boring. But this, this is just retarded. If you're going to make a crappy live action movie of a lame old cartoon, may I humbly suggest suggest the Wacky Races? Here are my casting choices:
Dick Dastardly and Muttley: 'Booger' and a CGI dog
The Slag Brothers: any two dudes from WWE
The Gruesome Twosome: Jake Busey and the guy who married John Stamos' ex wife (from Jerry Maguire)
Professor Pat Pending: Chistopher Loydd
Red Max: 'Earl'
Penelope Pitstop: either Nicole Kidman or iCarly
Sergeant Blast and Private Meekley: John Goodman and the fat kid from Drake and Josh
The Ant Hill Mob: The Brohters Jonas
Lazy Luke and Blubber Bear: Brenden Frasier and a CGI Lazy Luke
Peter Perfect: Buffy the Vampire Slayer's husband (live Scooby Fred/Jack Baur, jr.)
Rufus Ruffcut and Sawtooth: Billy Dee Williams and Webster
The Race Commentator/Narrator: James Earl Jones or Michael Ironside -
Haven't you seen what they did to Cookie Monster? It takes a village, you know.
-
Some kind of a "does a bear shit in the woods" reference. Dear Lord in Heaven, thy will be done.
-
A 90 minute version of that news report, in 3-D even, would be funnier.
-
like Alvin and the Chipmunks "bom chika bow wow" that ALL kids will laugh at and repeat endlessly, thus ensuring they will all see this movie. I predict G-Force level box office. Solid gold!
-
but that looks so bad that I still feel as if my childhood has been raped.
-
Are going to love it! Like my sister. She probably has the worse taste in movies of anyone I know. Except her hubby, who also adores cartoon movies like this one. And thinks this is the best shit since slice bread.

Yaknow the 2012 armageddon is actually looking good
by takingscorpioscalls
Its getting better each day thinking about it. :)
-
Oh stop with the "this is crap, end of hollywood creativity" bullshit. The standard reactions from talkbackers here is as devoid of originality and value as anything put out by hollywood - and considering that there's no bottom line at posting a talkback, then its twice as pathetic that nobody has anything interesting to say. Yogi Bear will be the exact same as Garfield and The Chipmunks. Mindless entertainment that causes me indifference, but my two and five year old will make me view ad-nauseum. If you have an emotional reaction to this kind of movie, you are the type of person that needs to ignore this particular level of childrens entertainment (not everything can be pixar), and start watching intellectual artistic movies, and start forming an opinion that has some value other than "the Yogi Bear movie will be shit" (said in a low octave, with brow furrowed low). Wow, great observation shit-head. You are Siskel,Ebert, and that smarmy asshole with the beard smashed together creating in level of film critique unparralleled on the internet. Jeesus. Give it a rest.
-
in it -- something like the "bom chika bow wow" line in the Alvin and the Chipmunks trailer -- and all kids will die laughing and repeat the line endlessly, thus ensuring they will all make their parents take them to see it. It really isn't any harder than that. Repeatable joke in the trailer for the kids to copy, and then watch tens of millions of dollars roll in.
-
My childhood has never been raped. Not by Underdog, Transformers, Alvin, Garfield, and certinly not Yogi. But I DO hope this movie has a really good actual rape scene in it. I'm thinking the Accused, only with Boo and Yogi raping some pic-i-nic goer up against a pinball machine deep in the woods. Then they mutilate and devour the body. And wear her face as a hat. And the Earl/the Ranger says, "Hey, Yogi, have you been raping and eating park visitors?" And then Yogi says, "Hey now Range...Why would you say such a thing?" And then the Ranger says, "Because you're wearing a human female's face as a hat."
-
back in the day. However, it's some of the cheapest, most basic animation imaginable. Cheap production, but great character design and fun stories.You're telling me that these creepy CGI renditions (in 3-D no less) are a better way to approach this license? THAT is being truly devoid of imagination, my friend.
-
I think my idea about Wacky Racers is pretty original. And also, you think "nobody has anything interesting to say"? I think Boo and Yogi raping a woman and wearing her face as a hat is interesting. And I think you do to. If I had a link that would show you that, I think you would click on it.
-
Justin Timberlake... (groan)... Well, at least Ranger Smith won't be played by Will fucking Ferrell or Steve fucking Carell.
-
Spies Like Us, Dragnet, Ghostbusters 2, Driving Miss Daisy, Sneakers, My Girl, Tommy Boy, Grosse Pointe Blank, The Ghostbusters Video Game, and Exit to Eden. OK, maybe not the last one, but he has been a pretty good character actor in a lot of small parts the last 20 years...
-
why Boo is eating a slice of wheat bread.
-
Jul 28, 2010 5:15:12 PM CDT
Oh, and I forgot The Coneheads. Tell me you didn't laugh
by coughlins laws
at that movie...
-
Dragnet? You...you think that...that Dragnet is a, um, a, ah, a "good" movie? Dragnet? Um, ah, okay...(slowly backs towards door.) Okay, um, yeah. Dragnet. Right.
-
"Look out! Muppets!"
-
I didn't laugh at Coneheads. You know what Dan A. movie was better than Coneheads? Caddyshack II. And that movie is terrible.
-
Seriously, though. good Danny A. movie you missed: Sneakers.
-
And that, my friends is no cartoon. It's a machine to fleece money from divorced dads every second Saturday of the month.
-
looks like a kids movie my 4 year old might enjoy. justin timberlake is actually a pretty funny guy so maybe that will transfer into a laugh or two for me....it's not Inception, but is it tryin to be?
-
They are so gay for each other, like Ernie and Bert. I bet Booboo has wood under that plate.
-
That HAS to be the best post in this talkback so far. But you're right. With shit like this from Hollywood, I am looking forward to Doomsday 2012.
-
Damn I thought you were talking about a 2012 remake of Bay's Armegeddon for a second there, not the Mayan end-of-the-world. Which one is scarier?
-
Spread the word. 3D is a rip-off. The film being cranked out are garbage. If people see this shit in theaters, we'll just keep getting more. WE know it's shit - now we have to spread the word.
-
that the Brits have cheesy local newscasters. I was sure that Europeans had it more together than that....
-
...in trying to take my picnic basket.
-
trees repeat every few seconds?
-
Hence the time at the bottom. Why would they have an American news story on local news?

Jul 28, 2010 5:46:31 PM CDT
I DID say Sneakers. Read the list again. As far as Coneheads
by coughlins laws
true, it was pretty corny and I saw it when I was in high school, but I thought it was so stupid it was funny. The point is, while I agree something has definitely caused alot of the funny to be zapped out of Aykroyd, he can still produce good performances. However, it is a shame that he doesn't seem to have the same funnybone he had when his hetero-life partner John Belushi was alive. After he got fat, he lost a few points. But just go back and watch The Blues Brothers, or Trading Places, or Ghostbusters, or his Bass-O-Matic commercial. He definitely used to be hysterical...
-
Lives rent free in government provided taxpayer paid for digs, feels entitled to the fruits of other peoples labor and feigns ignorance or injury when confronted about it, also seems put off by the rangers instructions to work/forage for food like other bears. Yogi was a bad influence on an entire generation...lazy entitled bears beget lazy entitlment seeking kids.
-
Watch the weather forcast in Spain or France...or watch Channel 4 or Channel 2 weather out here in LA. Now THERE are some newscasters who have it "together"!
-
Hell, even BUGS BUNNY is pretty much forgotten by the under-ten set that will be the prime audience for this movie. Then again, the Chipmunks movies raked it in at the box office, so what do I know...
-
That's what you are, admit it.
-
Ha ha, "only in select theatres."

where my the fuck is my captain caveman movie in 3-D. the public demands it

ATHIS MOVIE HAS TO BE RATED "R" OR I WILL NOT BE SEEING IT.
by gruemanlives
AND IT BETTER BE A HARD "R".
-
Just nuke Hollywood already... please?
-
...and actually watch for more than 5 minutes, IF... Yogi grabs a picnic basket and runs past the same tree trunk every 3 seconds or if Mr. Ranger looks like a different guy in every scene. Geez, now that there're fully rendered with fur, instead of just colored outlines, Yogi and Boo-Boo look more than a little creepy. More than a little gay too, posed like that on the poster, like they're relaxing post-coitus after some kind of homosexual orgy involving baked goods.
-
Can't they just make a movie about the bear in the car instead? I think that would be more interesting.

I can't see Ackroyd doing Yogi's Art Carney-esque voice
by jaylenotookmyjob
I could see him doing Tennessee Tuxedo, maybe even Top Cat, but oddly, not Yogi Bear. Justine Timberlake as Boo-Boo (snort). Yeah, that movie career's really blazing new trails, huh Justin?
-
Right?
-
based on the just the poster, of course...can't say the stunt voice casting does anything for me though...Justin Timberlake as Boo-Boo?

Right on!

Ackroyd was recently grand marshall of the local art car parade.
by mjgtexas
So it's not like he doing nothing worthwhile.
-
Admittedly, I think it would be a wondeful world if all my kids had to watch was movies of Up, Ratatoullie and Cars quality (the latter of which I can recite all the way through, though I haven't seen a frame of video since the first time I watched it - damned car-dvd-players). But you know what? My kids also love Bob the Builder. And In the Night Garden. And Rory the Racing Car. And all kinds of intollerable shit that makes movies like Yogi Bear seem like fine art. Sure, it would be great if all kids had to watch was the finest. But it would also be great if all I listened to was Mozart sonatas and Chopan mazurkas, but the fact of the matter is, I regularly find myself tapping my feet along with Katty Perry singing about Daisy-Dukes-with-bikinis-on-top. Kids deserve better, sure. But kids also deserve an opportunity to turn their brains off and just enjoy movie about a stupid fucking talking bear stealing stupid fucking picnic baskets without having to worry about the possibility that viewing it as an adult without children might make some internet geek have the grand realization that 25 is way too old to be worrying about the fact that crap like this gets green-lit.
-
Its only wrong, if you think its wrong.
-
If you thought Avatar made a lot of moo-lah last Christmas, wait till this year.
-
- Get John Kricfalusi to write the fucking script. Only possible way to salvage this piece of bear shit.
-
Bears VS Chipmunks
-
THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING...!
-
Goddamn that looks worse than I imagined. Make the horror stop! Somebody has to stop Hollywood from doing these things.
-
relax...deep breaths, now. Look on the bright side: it'll keep the kids off the street for a week or so. They need their talking CGI creatures fix if there's not going to be another chipmunks movie.
-
Dan Akroyd actually seemed as if he was proud to debut this piece of shit to the world.
-
...the trailer had the requisite scene of Yogi motioning to the boom box, saying, "Kick it, Boo-Boo;" Boo Boo responding, "Kickin' it, Yogi;" and both of them dancing to hip-hop music. You think I'm making this up? Watch the trailer. Jesus, when will it end?
-
but that realy made me want to rip out my eyes!. Also the trailer realy made me think of the jungle chadr in Crystal Skull, Lucas will never be forgiven.
-
it looks a little better than Garfield and Marmaduke (high praise indeed)
-
Am I wrong?
-
Tom Cavanaugh as Ranger Smith? Have they SEEN fucking Yogi Bear before? And the sad part is the celebrity voices doing Yogi & Boo Boo work for like 2 seconds, then they faceplant because you hear their famous voices and inflections creep back in. Not that it matters because LOOKING at the fucking animation is impossible: that isn't a thing, it's just a CG test, and a failed one at that. But hey, if Garfield can do it, why not us too? Oh, I know why. I KNOW FUCKING WHY YOU HOLLYWOOD ASSHOLES!
-
please tell me this wasn't for the money. Last time I checked, The House of Blues was doing alright.
I know. You, Bill Murray, and Harold Ramis made a pact to see who could be involved in the shittiest film. That, or you three are lowing the bar so much that it'll make Ghostbusters III look like...Godfather III... -
I love 3D and CG and everything but damn, is there never going to be a high profile kids movie that is 2D ever again? ESPECIALLY when it's a remake/sequel/whatever of something that was originally in 2D? Isn't this kind of over-kill by now?
-
Please, please, PLEASE tell me you've only forgotten how crappy kids movies have been like, ALWAYS. There's a reason they are simple: Kids don't "get" complicated stories. Seriously, have an 8 year old watch "2001". I'll bet the majority won't even know the beginning has anything to do with the 2nd and third act.
-
THIS is my fondest memory of Yogi, as envisioned by the immortal John Kricfalusi:
"Boo Boo goes Wild"
http://tinyurl.com/5extdu
and
"A Day In the Life of Ranger Smith"
http://tinyurl.com/2b5bbnj -
this will probably make more in its opening day than Expendables does this entire weekend. Depressing, isn't it?
-
Tom Cavanagh from Ed, Lee Pace from Daisies, and Jason Lee from Earl...Yogi check, Marmaduke check, and Alvin...check.
-
...all the negative comments by talkbackers trying to tear down Inception, Scott Pilgrim, Predators.....and then a movie like THIS comes along. I can only imagine the faces on Anna Faris, Justin Timberlake, and Dan Aykroyd when they first saw this trailer. I hope the paycheck was worth it. Damnit Hollywood, think of the kids for Christ's sake!
-
is if Booboo offers cookies on dowells and says "Snackerdoodle?"
-
It seems to stick pretty close to the shitty cartoon, so what's the problem? It's like people complaining about the Smurfs movie- who the hell liked the Smurfs to begin with?
-
...is damn near impossible when our society gives them a movie like this for entertainment. I fear for the future of the youth.
-
Better yet, have an 8-year old watch A Clockwork Orange. I bet they won't even understand the correlation between Alex's aversion to classical music and sadomasochistic violence! Asshole.
-
...check.
-
"Thank God, it's Friday." C'mon, that bit is GOLD!

I brought up 2001 because with the exception of man-apes beating the shit out of each other, it's a movie that has pretty much zero objectionable material. Use your brain.

GET YOUR ASS BACK TO WORK ON GHOSTBUSTERS 3. Bitchslap murry around a bit, get his ass in line, and start shooting the god dam movie before your all dead. Ramius isnt getting any younger or thinner (god he looks like a fat moses) Murry doesnt know what the hell he wants to do, Hudson is dying for another GB, and you, your the spearhead behind this whole movie, and yet you took time that could have been used to idk WRITE A SCRIPT or SHOOT THE DAM THING, to make, this?
I love ya man, i really truly do. And i love your putting a smile on your face trying to sell this piece of shit, real professionalism, its touching man, it really is.
And for the most part i loved your work. Even Nothing but trouble. i got a kick outa that film (maby the only guy on earth who did) but dan...please. We're not getting any younger, you guys sure arent, lets get a ghostbusters 3 done and god willing done well, before you guys are littery all ghosts!
plz dan. I got 2 things i want more then anything before i die. number 1, is to get laid, and number 2, right behind getting some pussy, is ghostbusters 3. thats how big of a ghosthead i am.
Please, do this fat dork a favor, make ghostbusters 3 now! I might never get some ass, but atleast if i see ghostbusters 3, i can go to my grave with half of the list done.
Thanks man
-
Seriously.
-
I like where you're going with that. But this is a family film. Your version is Rated R or NC-17.
Though I suspect your rape scene may make it to the "Unrated" DVD release. -
The park ranger is wearing a winter uniform in the summer time. This is not allowed in the National Park Service. The other ranger is wearing a summer uniform with a felt winter hat. He should have a straw hat. Drives me nutz!
-
I brought up A Clockwork Orange to make a point of how ridiculous the suggestion of Kubrikian analysis from an 8-year old is. Of course they're not going to understand it. They're 8, moron. That doesn't mean that they can't be shown quality programming designed for children (Pixar, old Disney movies, Warner Bros. cartoons, etc.) that will positively influence their later cognitive development.
-
TDK took something that most people thought was for "kids" and made it serious and relevant. I don't see why Yogi Bear should be any different. Dark and Gritty is the future of all family films. And besides, Yogi raping people and wearing their skin as a hat probably seems shocking NOW... but if you went back in time to the late 60s when the Batman T.V. show was on, and said "This funny, harmless Joker character will one day slit his mouth open with a knife and shove a pencil through someone's eye socket and blow up a hospital" People would be like "dude, you're sick!" But then they come to the future and say "best portrayal of the character yet." Same thing with Yogi Bear. There's a reason people are afraid of Bears and Yogi is about to discover that cruelty, that devastation that is deep within and he will bring it out and confront it. Then he'll blame the entire thing on Boo-boo.
-
So glad those fucks aren't on strike any more..

Then you made a good point. Too bad you sullied it with the name calling. You put me on the defensive and made me think you were just a troll name-calling. Ending with "asshole" isn't exactly fostering an intelligent debate. Live and learn, I guess. Maybe you'd like to at least acknowledge my point that there have always been shitty kids movies and they eat them up regardless. I'll put it this way- A kitten will like a can of tuna just as much as a dish of caviar.

True, there have always been shitty kids movies, but it seems that the newest crop of cartoons-turned-CGI shitfests are some of the worst in recent memory. It started with Garfield and has most recently shown up in the Chipmunks movies, Marmaduke, the Smurfs and Yogi Bear. Now admittedly, none of the original cartoons were classics or all that intelligent to begin with. But the newest iterations are far worse and more wrong-headed, not in the least because they attempt to be "hip" with cavalierly patronizing racial stereotypes of CGI chipmunks and bears doing things like wearing sideways caps and "busting a move." It's like little black Sambo all over again. My point is that Pixar has proved that we can aim higher. So, why don't we?
-
This trailer makes never want to go the movies again.
Which means it will make 600 million worldwide. -
Skip the movie and just watch this video. Much funnier. Also I didn't realized when I first saw this T. J. was actually in this movie.

...will calm the angry Hollywood gods and spare us a Yogi Bear sequel. How dare we actually like Inception! How dare we pass on The Last Airbender and criticize daily Transformers 3 articles! Hollywood isn't fucking around any longer. A fiery, unstoppable storm of CGI 3-D shit is on the horizon.
-
what else can one say?
-
Put like that, I can definitely tend to agree. I think the bottom line is the almighty dollar combined with the ease studios can market stuff like this to kids. The same reason (I suppose) Nickelodeon and Disney shovel shit like Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers at kids: They have it figured out.
I read somewhere that studios have their audiences so figured out that they can basically take a script or concept, run it through the numbers, and get a very good idea of final returns on their investment. Pretty scary, and ultimately the formula discourages anyone from taking a chance and doing something more thoughtful and unique. Too bad there couldn't be some sort of Indie film house that produces kid-centric material. Pixar is good of course, but in my opinion their films are becoming just as formulaic as what parent co. Disney has to offer. I think they need to rediscover their fire. Not that anything they do is bad mind you, but I think their short-films are the only places they are still truly inventive. -
I'm so PUMPED for this!
-
Or maybe Quick Draw McGraw in a remake of High Noon...or Droopy? This is the worst idea for a movie, 3-D or not.
-
...instead of sitting down in stadium-style seating and watching a movie, a bunch of masked Hollywood suits will literally take a shit in your mouth, and you'll be wearing 3-D glasses the entire time.
-
Well that was just painful. Not the concept, kids need movies too, ut the fact that Timberlake nails Boo Boo's voice while Ackroyd completely murders the Yogi voice.
Timberlake is more talented than Ackroyd??? What the fuck is happening in the world? -
But his Yogi will always be the best Yogi.
-
That doesn't even sound like him, whereas you can somewhat tell it's Akroyd.
-
You know at least with Scooby Doo they got a voice actor who actually sounded like Scooby Doo. (Heck the guy who played Shaggy, his name escapes me, was a dead ringer) but listening to Ackroyd's bad Yogi impression is painful.
Now Yogi Bear was never a big thing where I grew up (aka outside North America) but I do have a recollection of the voice. Bill Murray sounded more like Garfield than Ackroyd does Yogi and don't get me started on Timberlake.
Unlike Merrick, I'm not completely despressed by the notion of a Yogi Bear movie. It's not for me, it's for kids and it looks to be fairly faithful to the cartoon unlike Smurfs.
I won't begrudge the little kids having this while the rest of us watch Tron (also in 3D right? Ugh) and then get miserable when Yogi does better at the box office because nobody remembered Tron but geeks.
Gotta say though, speaking of classic cartoons, there's a huge part of me that wants to see a Catch The Pidgeon movie! -
...I was convinced one of the actors in this trailer was Rob McElhenney (Mac) from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I think I'm wrong, and I hope I'm wrong.
-
To make them stop putting out these fucking movies. I mean...seriously. It's not even the 3D thing anymore. When I see shit like this, it doesn't matter if it's in 3D or not. What bothers me is that shit like this is getting made, and that imbeciles and their imbecile children are going to pay big bucks to go see this. Lots of them are going to go see this, allowing them to make more movies like this. I don't get it. I really don't. Why do people like fucking terrible excuses for movies like this? And is there any way (outside of building a time machine, going back to the moment of conception of the person or people responsible for this and convicing the couple in question to not proceed fucking each other, thus resulting in that person never being born) to stop it? Seriously. Think of the children. The ones who, when they're 70, will have to name crap like this when they're asked what sort of movies THEY watched as a child.
-
Except, maybe, for spring or summer.
-
I respectfully disagree regarding Pixar. They've had a few formulaic movies (A Bug's Life, Cars), but by and large, their movies tend to be thought-provoking and contain a sincere emotional depth and heft missing from most mainstream children's entertainment. Have you seen Ratatouille, Wall-E, Up or Toy Story 3? Those were all pretty resonant films in my opinion. Formulaic in storyline structure, perhaps, but not in content. As for the mass-marketing media machine pumping out dumbed-down product for children's entertainment, my opinion is that it is our job as adults to reject the crap they're producing and instead give more of our money to studios like Pixar. I also agree that an indie studio with a kids division would be cool. Who did Fantastic Mr. Fox? That was a pretty good one.
-
Seriously, this doesn't even look to on the level of Marmaduke or Garfield or the Chipmunks or Scooby-Doo, and those were all pretty terrible. It's not even an excuse to say it's just a kid's movie. That's no excuse to be completely devoid of humor, warmth, wit, cuteness, everything! I realize that's just a trailer, but don't they usually try to show most of the good parts in the trailer? Not one good line, no visual flair, no "Awwww that's cute!" moment. NOTHING! Straight-to-dvd is too good for this turd! Don't ruin Christmas -CANCEL IT!
-
....this looks like a trainwreck. Just awful.
-
No he's that guy from the movie She's Out of My League
-
Who's kids?Those Hanna-Barbera toons were god-awful. Kids in the '70s sat through stuff that would make Hanna Montana look high concept.Why does anyone expect a rehash of a crap cartoon to be anything except more of the same?
-
everyone is so shocked that Justin Timberlake does a good job with the voice of Boo-Boo. He's actually a pretty decent actor. Anybody who's ever seen Alpha Dog or Black Snake Moan can tell you that. I mean, he may not be the next Ed Norton or anything, but he's not bad. Don't know why it's such a big secret.
-
Art Carney's rolling over in his grave. That hardly sounds like Yogi, much less Ed Norton. Boo! Boo!
-
Id they're going to change their voices?
But really just why have Dan Ackroyd and Justin Timberlake? -
Kill me please. Make the bad man stop.
-
in order to prevent this from hitting theaters? Just point me in the right direction and I'll go all Frank Castle on their asses. This is the reason why the terrorists attack us, why Republicans hate Democrats and they're oil floating in the Gulf.
Namely, this is Armaggeddon and the Lord is coming to render judgment to us all. -
taking your kid to see this movie, or letting a 3 year old watch the R rated gore filled violent movie, Versus? Harry discussed his nephew watching Versus and then acting out the scenes in the back yard, and nobody seemed to think that was too horrible. But this is "raping a childhood"? C'mon!!!
-
although i would prefer that he ate with money made from ghostbusters3 rather then a homsexual bear cartoon..but hey what can you do amirite
-
John K!!!!
-
...show them the dreck you grew up on in the 60's. I swear with CGI you can churn out ANYTHING in no time.
-
Why cast Justin Timberlake and Dan Akroyd to do the voices? I am no expert, but I assume kids/teens will be more willing to see a movie with Justin Timberlake in it, and suburban parents can say, "At least it has Dan Akroyd. I haven't seen him in anything in a while."

Which isn't saying much.
-
With Yogi now added to the list of Dudley Doorite(?), Rocky and Bowinkle (Whattasmattu-still love that), Underdog as 60s cartoons made into live action movies gotta a bad feeling Johnnys next.

and not in a good way.

I need to go watch William Girdler's "Grizzly" now.
by the reluctant austinite
-
They're just in the midst of casting and what not.
-
Johny Quest is already in the works? Oh man, you've always had a wonderful sense of humor. You always know what to say to get everyone laughing. You know how to give everyone's funny bone a good kickin'. Like mom always said, terry1978 can make light of dark times. You're also one....you're also...........you're... ***breaks down crying***
-
says Justin Bieber will be cast as Johnny Quest. O, ye Gods, when will it end?
-
This doesn't look that bad considering the source material. There isn't much to Yogi, looks a lot less annoying then Alvin and the Chipmunks. Anyone seen the old animated film though???
-
FUCK Dan Aykroyd. He's fucking worked with and has praised Bart the Bear! RIP. But seriously this should've been done with live bears. Did anyone see Country Bears or whatever the fuck it was called?
-
You have much wisdom my friend.
-
Kiss my Boo Boo, Boo Boo.
-
just like Caps 2011. Take that, you...you...flag-wavers, you.
-
Is that the one about the guy who every year spent time with grizzlies. And starting thinking they accepted him as one of them. Then they attacked him and his girlfriend while the tape recorder was going in his pocket?
-
but reject Johnny because "You can't tame me" while Johnny pleads with her to start wearing pants.
-
You could actually make a cool JQ movie, making it James Bond-esque with the kids just being involved in it. I mean, they WON'T make a cool movie, but they COULD.
-
jesus fucking christ who is paying this guy to fucking act. God i hate this shit.
-
This looks so bad it could be good. Did Roger Coreman make this?
-
If they did a JQ movie they should do it when Comico(86) was publishing JQ. It was done by writers/artists who were fans of JQ when they were young. And it was good!! Adam Kubert did a 2 parter that was fun. Showed Race acting as the boys teacher, Jezebel Jade as Races GF (Angelina Jolie would be perfect), Dr Zin. It had all the stuff that made JQ cool. See if you can get in TPB. Worth it.
-
I'm guessing the first act will have the rangers and Yogi at odds over the stealing of the pic-a-nick baskets. the second act will feature Yogi accidentally (whilst trying to steal a basket) stumbling upon some bad guys plot to do something that will harm Yosemite (this bad guy will be played by a c-list actor that looks somewhat like rob lowe in an intangible way). Yogi will try to explain this to the Ranger, who will at first not believe him, but will eventually. This will take us to the third act in which Yogi, Booboo, and the Ranger team up to capture the bad guys. Yogi gets all the baskets he could ask for. Roll Credits.
-
Quest had his own SR71, Hadji had mental abilities, Bandit ws Bandit, explained how Race joined the team, how Johnnys mom died (that was a tearjerker). Still trying to forget that crappy cartoon from years ago. It added a young girl to the mix and horrible.

CGI Live Action Hybrids need to die.
by ooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuutttttlllllaaaaa
I didn't work in Scooby Doo, it didn't work it Garfield, and it didn't work in Alvin and the Chipmunks. Were there others? Marmaduke? May be a couple that I missed. It never looks good.
-
But sans glasses....could be Rob Lowe, man.
-
Instead of "Mooose and sqwurriel" he says "bearrr and cubb". Forget who Natasha was but put her in too.
-
He loves to do physical comedy and is right up his alley.
-
I just checked IMDB, and according to the plot synopsis, I am only 2/3 correct in my guess. Still, it's a pretty standard cartoon-brought-to-life movie plot.
And Terry--yeah and besides, it's not the early-2000s, when we mght have seen Lowe do something like this. After Brothers & Sisters, and a guest stint on Californication this season...he's back on his game. -
What is up with Yogi's freakish long leg? You can't bend one and have one straight and they end up the same length. This film looks like a travesty. It looks like a suit's idea of how to make a kid's film. I'm really shocked at how terrible this looks. I will not take my kids to see it, I will save my money for vintage Hanna Barbera dvds.
-
Wonder why they bothered getting them to voice the characters? And yes it looks like a terrible movie and I'm sure Farris and Cavanaugh just signed on to get a paycheck, but still, Cavanaugh could have bothered to pull the stick out of his ass. That guy just looks uncomfortable.
-
worse than Scooby Doo, ruining more children icons
-
I guess that explains it away, but....
-
I'm 48, an intelligent person, etc., but it definitely PISSES ME OFF that this was made, in this way. For a person my age, Yogi was a BIG deal, and we harbor fond memories of the character. It's iconic. To see it, of all properties, be so MESSED UP, is quite disappointing. Your defense of crap is idiotic. When my nephews are with me, they watch NOTHING but "good" stuff (unless I make sure that they are OUTSIDE PLAYING, of course). YOU BET we'll bitch to high hell about crap. Perhaps if THAT fact disturbs you so much, you should just spend more time with your kids, so that they DON'T HAVE TO WATCH shit themselves.
-
that the ones who would bitch the most about this dreck would be the PARENTS; seeing as they will be the ones forced to endure repeated viewings. they should be teaching them to READ, as opposed to turning their brains to mush

Of COURSE those old Hanna-Barbera cartoons were shit...
by nasty in the pasty
...but that was when there were, like, three TV channels, and there was literally nothing else to watch. Nowadays, with literally THOUSANDS of choices for parents to make for their child's entertainment, why in God's name are they pumping millions of dollars into a shiny, CGI'd rehash of those shitty old HB 'toons? And why do parents LET their kids watch them?! Look at just last year alone...there was Coraline, Up, Ponyo, Fantastic Mr, Fox...films that enlightened, that challenged, that played just as well for the developing young minds of kids as they did for their charmed parents. I realize the hype machine and seeing the commercials on TV a hundred times a day is a tough siren call for kids to resist, but news flash...YOU ARE THE BOSS OF YOUR CHILDREN. If you can't put your foot down and deny your child something they want that will just rot their teeth and/or minds because they're whining so loudly, DON'T HAVE KIDS. With Netflix, online streaming, and countless other choices, there's an endless array of genuinely GREAT family movies you csn expose your kids to and enjoy WITH them, instead of just playing with your cell phone through a deafening matinee of Alvin & The Chipmunks. Try showing your kids something like My Neighbor Totoro, or E.T., or The Black Stallion, and leave these soulless corporate products for the remainder bin at Walmart.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
-
People having a nervous breakdown about raped childhoods need to stop and consider just how-to put it kindly-mediocre the original was. The HB cartoon was a shitty hybrid/ripoff of the far superior WB chase cartoons starring a bad imitation of Art Carney.
-
...think it's pretty cool that they got the guy from Temple of Doom to voice Yogi.
-
Now make the CGI/live action Woody Woodpecker movie that my inner child so desperately craves.
-
http://vodpod.com/watch/2980762-boo-boo-runs-wild
-
Please make Ghostbusters 3.
-
Make up your own opening theme...
What creeps around, by schools in your town and drives a windowless van...keeps candy in sacks, wears loose fitting slacks It's Pe Do Bear!
Pe-do, Pe-do...has lots of small pets at his home, ; Pe-do, Pe-do the bear who through daycares will roam!
One ca only DREAM of the marketing for such a property...can't wait to see the Happymeal toys. -
I laughed for 2 mins solid.
-
I didn't think that sucked all that much. Do I think it "rules" or will "kick ass"? Hell no. But it looks a hell of a lot better than either of the live action Chipmunks or Garfield movies, as well as looking better than the live action Smurfs flick.
Timberlake's doing an excellent job as Boo Boo's voice. I thought that'd be a HORRIBLE decision but he really does a good job. I'd almost swear they got a real voice actor to ghostvoice the role but it seems Timberlake's up to the task. Ackroyd's OK as Yogi but Timberlake kicks his ass in the voice acting department. It's kind of weird seeing the character designs being so close to the originals just in CG but I'd rather see this than the horse-shit that passed for character design in Garfield and The Chipmunks.
I think the only complaint I can really throw at this trailer is that Ranger Smith needs his fucking hat. Why's the other ranger wearing one and Smith isn't? Dumb move on the producer's part. As bad as Alvin only wearing his hat in the damn posters for the second Crapmunk movie instead of both of the actual freaking movies. Smith's actor would have the look NAILED with the hat. Unless this thing gets worse reviews than The Last Air Bender I may catch a matinee. Sorry guys, I just can't declare this thing terrible yet.
-
the anti-establishment bear who was a thief? Or are they going for the pussy ass 1970's Laugh Olympics/Yogi's Ark Lark Yogi who was preachy about keeping the water clean, not wasting food and flew around in a fucking ark with the B and C list HB characters?
-
Like Captain American and Thor because I'm a manchild who thinks movies based on comic books are the pinnacle of cinema.
-
was painful to watch
-
I loved Yogi Bear growing up, but I can't for the life of me figure out why you guys are so upset right now. What from that trailer was so out-of-place from the original cartoon? I guess I forgot about that 3-year-long epic storyline from the original Yogi wear Yogi accidentally killed Ranger Smith's wife and Boo-Boo turned him in. That was quality work that the studios will never be able to duplicate. I mean, honestly, much like the Fantastic Four movies and Transformers after that, what was there to screw up?
-

Okay. Lemme play the role of the villain here: Looks decent to m
by justicesabre
This is a Yogi Bear movie, most likely geared towards kids whose parent will bring them cause we watched Yogi Bear as kids ourselves.
H-B cartoons were NEVER known for their high production value OR original plots, so you can take the core idea behind Yogi and do damn near anything with it.
And FOR ONCE, they successfully made the characters look and sound how they're supposed to look as opposed to the bulk of the other anthropomorphic cartoon animal flicks that have come along over the past decade.
This will be entertaining enough for some 7 YO kids and their 25-40 YO parents, and that's all I'd EVER expect from a Yogi Bear flick. -
What's that cartoon skit were they just shoot Yogi? Or was it on Mr.Show? D'oh.
-
The Antichrist doesn't show up until August 3rd 20111.
-
The Antichrist doesn't show up until August 3rd 2011.
-
"Who's driving? Oh my God, bear's driving. How can that be?"
-
why....the...FUCK???
-
And I dont mean the story...although that looks lame as well. Did you see that CGI animation? Did they outsource this to some Korean computer studio thats still stuck in the 90's? Thats some Lost In Space style special effects right there my friends. Yogi has leaped right out of the uncanny valley and he and BooBoo are ready to creep you the fuck out!!!!
-
I certainly wouldn't say that this looks good, but it seems like a lot of people are complaining just to complain. Timberlake, who some of you are attacking just because you don't like him, looks to be doing a pretty spot-on Boo Boo. The trailer was just kinda meh so the level of vitriol here seems way out of control.
-
I'm pretty sure there will be a "bear/shit/woods" joke in there somewhere. Likely poorly executed, at that.
At least they don't look like real bears with ties on. -
Maybe better than chipmunks trash
-
This movie will be a hit.

I joined AICN Talkback solely because of this story.
by knight_wanderer
I have been reading AICN for 14 years and never before have I felt such a need to comment on something that I actually joined Talkback, until now.
Oh, baby Jesus. Tom Cavanagh, you should be ashamed of yourself. -
Here in New Zealand. My real thought on the day was - "Damn. 50km diversion to get round!" Says it all really.
-
was the cast of "country bears" not available?
-
This looks exactly like the cartoon and they didn't even shove a bunch of tongue-in-cheek humor or cultural references in. Also, Aykroyd actually sounds like Daws Butler. Christ, am I defending this trailer?
All of you fans (hardcore Yogi fanboys WTF) just need to look to that Boo Boo Runs Wild that's shown on Adult Swim sometimes to see the original characters shit on. -

Why are you bitches craping on this movie?
by mjs_cold_dead_pale_corpse
It's for kids. Are you a kid (most likely a pedophile)? Stick to that monkey garbage called Inception.
-
why god?!
-
hahahahahahaha. no, really.
-
Man.... it's Yogi Bear for chrissakes. It's not a freakin' remake of Citizen Kane.
-
This movie bombs so bad that Justin-Frakkin-Timberlake will finally see the light and go back to what he does best...music. Plus the whole idea is just disgusting.
-
I was waiting for the gratuitous hip hop dancing reference. That's how Latinos know what movies are good.
-
You do realize that these cartoons themselves were loosely based on live action films like 'the great race' and 'those magnificent men in their flying machines'? Doing a live action version of them would create an infinite timeloop of catastrophic proportions.
-
That shit looks bad in a way that I don't even think I could watch a Rifftrax'd version.
-
Nice job STFUDonny. The Unabooboo is a great reference.
-
Seriously. I keep seeing things like "why is this guy in movies, go back to singing". You are morons. Timberlake is in the top 10 of comedic actors of this generation. If he was in more films, I'd say he's the white Will Smith, if such a thing is possible.
-
THIS!!! God, they're really must be desperate to cash in any way they can.:-(
-
Re - Mr DeanCubed - you say that as though it's a compliment. Top Ten comedy actors of his generation ?????? Sweet Jesus, that doesn't say alot for the other '9' or those outside of the Holy Grail of the Top Ten...I blame Cameron Diaz....
-
The positive coverage crappy Bay iphone footage gets on this site and this harmless shit gets pasted...This will be harmless fun for preschoolers....GET OVER YOURSELVES
-
I mean, god forbid a movie for kids gets released and a bunch of old movie snobs aren't interested in it. I am sure my 5 year old will love it.
It isn't as though every movie that comes out has to be dark and gritty. -
The CG looks horrible. It looks like a straight to DVD movie. I don't understand why they take these classic animated characters and decide to make them live action and then go against everything that made the show good. Why not just make an animated Yogi movie? And I guess Tom Cavanagh doesn't care about his career. I don't understand how someone thought this was a good idea and if they did, saw how bad this looks and still thought it was a good idea. It'll be rated PG so people will flock to this. Now you know why kids ends up shooting up schools. They are being raised on mindless fodder.
-
If it would've been Dan and Justin in crappy bear suits, with their faces sticking out of a hole and act like they are real, it might get a laugh or two out of people.
-
thank you very much.
-
I heard that it was going to be done documentary style which I think would have been hilarious but this looks just meh. Chances are I'll take the kid but then, he's two so I am not anticipating this to be the greatest thing ever.
-
heard of microphones?
-
Not a good sign, as I'm pretty tolerant of pretty much anything if it's remotely entertaining. Justin Timberlake does a spot-on Boo Boo voice.
-
Why not just cast the regular voice actors?
-
On a day when two bears ate a camper in Yellowstone Park.
-
How on earth did it attract such a good cast too ?

-
is JT's Booboo. I grew up on Hanna-Barbera cartoons and Booboo sounds right. Ackroyd's Yogi, however, is not even as good as whoever replaced the late Daws Butler in the later Yogi toons. And the look is just totally off; if you showed me a picture of this supposed Yogi and Booboo without identifying them I'd think they were... I don't know who, but I would NOT guess Yogi and Booboo! Bill Murray could have done a MUCH better Yogi, too bad he's already so overexposed in the voiceover world. I'd really love to see a well-done Yogi and Booboo movie, and this sure as hell ain't it!!

And I thought "The Country Bears" was the bottom of the barrel
by johnny ahab
Wow. There really is no bottom for Hollywood. Let's keep reaching lower and lower. I see the idiot H'wood logic though - "Hey, 'Alvin & the Chipmunks' was a huge smash! Let's do more!" Be prepared for HUCKLEBERRY HOUND: THE MOVIE - IN 3-D
-
Why do actors keep taking the jobs?? Anna Faris? In this? Really? Do you need a paycheck that badly? And all the talent in that unnecessary CATS & DOGS sequel??? Actors - STOP TAKING THE ROLES! STOP ENABLING HOLLYWOOD! (Okay, Akroyd definitely needs the paycheck.)
-
This wouldn't be the first movie I'd see (or second, third, or fourth) if I was still in my 20s, but now that I've had my own shortie, this is a great movie to take him to. Plus I get Tom Cavanagh and freaking always-awesome Anna Faris? HELLS yeah I'm there. Plus the legendary Akroyd? Holy crap.
-
The text originally read:
Dan Aykroyd is Yogi
Justin Timberlake is Boo Boo
Tom Cavanaugh is Desperate
As far as the movie goes, I've no desire to see it. However, despite the caterwauling around here, genre nerds are not the target demo. When it comes to movies in general but perhaps even more specifically "family films," it's all a crap shoot and making a quality, thoughtful, well-written well-acted movie is no guarantee that it will be successful. Throw enough money at it so it looks pretty, drop it strategically on a weekend or period where kids are out of school, hit and run, it'll still make money. Parents will hear that it's awful, but if their kids want to see it, it won't matter. Bigotry of soft expectations, I guess. Everyone will walk into the theater expecting ass, so if it's even moderately half-ass, they'll be pleasantly surprised.
What I wonder about is the OTHER reason a movie like this gets made: Marketing. Things have changed so much since the original cartoon. Kids have so many more options. Are there enough kids who'll really want a Yogi Bear video game or bedspread or non-vintage t-shirt or whatever the hell they'll slap together before Christmas? -
he makes me laugh....but I couldnt stomach this movie
-
Judging by the short clip, I'd say not bad for Mr. Sexy Back. JT sounds pretty close to the original BooBoo voice, while Aykroyd just sounds like Aykroyd doing a Yogi impersonation.
-
Those cartoons were low-grade crap, and from the looks of that trailer, that aesthetic has been painstakingly transferred to the film. My God, could it look any more cheap and amateurish? It's more proof of how contemptuously Hollywood regards families in general. This is crap. This is Hoodwinked with bears. And as if Yogi didn't look scary enough, he's got fangs. Which means he not only bites, he bites hard. Maybe that's why my eyeballs are bleeding. Kill that thing, just kill it. Computers are to blame for this. They've made animation too cheap and too easy. I thought the Henson bears in that Country Bear film were ugly. CGI Yogi makes me want to hork up a several weeks' worth of pic-a-nics into a Porcelain Basket. Somebody SHOOT that thing.
-
Don't you realize that, as a parent, it's your DUTY to teach your kid right from wrong, good from evil, shit from shinola? Act like a responsible parent with BALLS and refuse to take him/her to this horrible catball of a movie. When he/she whines "Why, Daddy?" say "Because it's a terrible movie and I only take you to good ones. Let's go see Despicable Me again." Kids love to see things more than once. I have a niece who literally wore her Wizard of Oz tape out from daily viewings. And I couldn't be prouder. She's gotten an overdose of the GOOD drug, the best that Hollywood can deliver. Hopefully she's developed a taste for quality entertainment that will stand her in good stead for the rest of her life, and then pay it forward to HER kids. We could build a better world, you and me if YOU JUST DON'T TAKE YOUR BRAT TO SEE THAT YOGI MOVIE. It takes a village, dude.
-
So I can avoid it.
-
Give it a break, guys. No one is claiming this is high art, or anything more than a light-hearted kid's fare. If it doesn't appeal to you, don't watch it - it ain't meant for you. And have you actually seen the original cartoon? It's not exactly War and Peace either. This movie seems to capture the spirit of the cartoon pretty well.
-
He should be looking utterly ashamed in that intro piece. Shame on you Dan.
Eric Brevig should go back to being an VFX supervisor, surely his dream when he entered the industry wasn't to churn out horrendous family 'entertainment' like this and journey to the centre of the earth. -
...to my 9 year old daughter. I asked her for her honest opinion once the trailer had ended. Her exact words were " Please don't take me to see that, Daddy." As a reward for her common sense I am allowing her to watch Faces of Death, The last house on the left and Evil Dead back to back. Oh, and she can sharpen her knife collection on the neighbours dog....
-
Some things just weren't meant to be live action films. Part of the charm of the cartoon was that it was a goofy Hanna Barbera thing.
-
I'm sad from watching that trailer.
-
Well, just the right one. Boo Boo had his way with the other one. Then a couple of Smurfs hopped into my eye socket and took a dump.
-
Judging from that trailer, it looks utterly forgettable but it doesn't seem to qualify as childhood-rape.
I mean, it's not like they're FUCKING with the Yogi Bear "mythos". It's just a straight-up CGI version of Yogi.
Fair enough.
Now, if Yogi eats his own fucking SHIT at some point in the movie, that's a different matter. -
And don't hold out for the unrated DVD with an Anna Faris bestiality sequence.
-
I was expecting WAY worse.
-
I fell like I should turn myself in to the cops for child abuse after showing him that.
-
... just took a sh*t in my eye and In 3D!
-
can only be written by one person.
-
That by at about the 30 minute mark there will be a does a bear shit in the woods joke in this movie...
