Yogi Bear is an American-New Zealand live-action comedy film produced by Sunswept Entertainment and De Line Pictures, based on Hanna-Barbera's animated segments of the same name, which aired in syndication from 1959 to 1961, and again in 1988. It was distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures on December 17, 2010. It was written by Jeffrey Ventimilia, Joshua Sternin, and Brad Copeland, produced by Donald De Line and Karen Rosenfelt, and directed by Eric Brevig.

Yogi teams up with Ranger Smith to save Jellystone Park after the former's dangerous stunt causes it to be shut down by the power-hungry mayor, who wants nothing better to do than get rid of it, believing it to bleeding the city dry of funds.
