YOGI BEAR

Starring: Anna Faris, Tom Cavanaugh and featuring the voices of Dan Aykroyd, Justin Timberlake and Christine Taylor
Directed by: Eric Brevig
Opens: December 17, 2010

One of Hanna-Barbera’s most beloved cartoon series finally gets the live-action treatment -- sadly, however, we are not referring to a Jetsons movie. Much like the long-running show of the same name, Yogi follows the titular character (voiced by Aykroyd), his pal Boo-Boo (voiced by Timberlake) and their misadventures in Jellystone Park, with Faris playing a flesh-and-blood documentarian tracking said shenanigans.

What We Think: Meh, very meh. Everybody loves the cartoon series, but big-screen adaptations of Hanna-Barbera classics have not translated, to say the least, and Yogi is the first such production to make the leap without the assistance of Hanna or Barbera. That said, families won’t be coming out in hordes expecting profound art. And impression impresario Aykroyd voicing Yogi is just perfection.

Cool to Know: Preceding the 3D Yogi will be a 3D short featuring Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner. Where’s THEIR movie?!
