Total Score: 209

Snake: Predictable story and way too long for people who are not fans of Yogi Bear, i.e. me. Its not all bad though. I will say I enjoy the charming animation style and Yogi himself isnt the worst character with enjoyable voice acting. Yogi Bear is one of those characters that really dont need a movie; ultimately this is a problematically long whereas a cartoon shorts is in and out a lot quicker.

Scarlet: You have to wonder why Karo thought a list comprised of meritless, valueless profiteering cash grabs soullessly cribbed from pre-established mediocre franchises was worthy of the time of Gauntlet Crew. Especially when you find yourself staring vapidly into a story so paper thin and shallow that it makes a kiddie pool in Texas drought seem positively deep in comparison. Who is Cindy? Why should I care? Who are these layabout wastrels glomming to the teat of the tourist industry? This movie does nothing but serve as an unentertaining diversion for the basest, most unimaginative children in mid-century middle America.
Rating: 20/100

Red: Yogi Bear has always been a weird one to me. Is he an idiot? Is he clever? Is he just a troll? It varies, and it varies in this movie too, hes a strange inconsistent character that bounces from place to place. And this movie bounces from place to place with most of the scenes ending up having nothing to do with each other. A lot of the movies on this list end up with the same problem of them just feeling like they are multiple episodes of their show strung together, and this kind of started that trend.

Karo: Yogi is a famous bear well known for stealing 'pic-a-nic' baskets, being very vain in regards to his supposed intelligence, and engaging in repetitive cartoon gags.
So what happens here is that Yogi and Boo-Boo have to go on a rescue mission to save his girlfriend Cindy after one of his plots goes wrong and leads to a series of events that culminate in her getting shipped off to a zoo.
This epic journey is mostly just Yogi doing a bunch of stupid things that only work half the time, and lots of mediocre musical numbers. Eventually this idiocy leaves them on the other side of the country in New York City and Ranger Smith has to come rescue them. Yogi may be smarter than the average bear, but unfortunately for him the average bear isnt very smart to begin with.
The plot is just a pointless bunch of nonsense that only exists to push our bear heroes onto the next set of silly scenes, and the movie ends up getting very boring very fast. It is pretty much just an hour-and-a-half long version of one of Hanna-Barbara's old cartoons, which honestly just werent really very good.

Inviso: Yeah, Im sorry, but between this and Disney, Im just not a fan of cartoons prior to the 80s (at best.) Yeah, there are some decent films early in animation history, but thats it. Decent. For the most part, you get films like Yogi here. I dont mind the animated shorts, I dont. But stretching that into a full-blown ninety-minute movie means dealing with a lot of stupidity, unnecessary songs, jarring plot transitions, and just an overall poor presentation. Its probably not fair to judge this by modern standards, but for fucks sakeyou can give me a LITTLE reasonable character development if you want me to enjoy a film.

JONA: It's neat to see the bears in a different setting and there are some nice songs in there, with Cindy having a great singing voice, but the movie's pretty ho-hum. Not much to get excited about.
