Third Trailer Released for Yogi Bear

4

The first two trailers (1st here, 2nd here) looked pretty poor and I’m afraid the third doesn’t look too great either. It a world where CGI can be so fantastic, it really looks like this has been done on some-one’s home computer. And what the heck is going on with the voices? Surely they should be a homage to the original TV series that was so great. Don’t get me wrong, I love Dan Aykroyd and until now, i thought he could do no wrong, but his impressions of Yogi really isn’t great. My dad does a better impression if I’m honest!

Yogi Bear also features Justin Timberlake as Boo Boo with a supporting cast which includes Anna Faris, Tom Cavanagh, TJ Miller, Andrew Daly and is directed by Eric Brevig.

Synosis: Jellystone Park has been losing business, so greedy Mayor Brown 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 and Boo Boo 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 to find a way to save Jellystone Park from closing forever.

Maybe I’m being a bit harsh? But surely they should have chosen decent voice artists rather than well known stars to play the leading roles? Let me know what you think in the comments below.

  1. “Check the safety manual!”
    “It’s just a picture of us screaming.”

    I must admit I found that quite funny, but everything about this project screams disaster. The 3D cash-cow still has some legs, though, so maybe it’ll rustle up an audience from somewhere.

  3. Man alive, that looks terrible. Like you say Dave, real problems with Yogi’s voice. Just looks charmless and unfunny. Also, they seem to be saying, “look, turtle coming out of the screen, see it really needs to be in 3D!”. Lame.

  4. If you grew up in the 60’s watching the original Yogi cartoons, the first thing that hits you when you see the clips is that Dan Aykroyd doesn’t come close to pulling off the Yogi voice, I like Dan Aykroyd, but what a let down….
