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.

Aftermath

A sequel was also reported as being in development in October 2012. Jay Chandrasekhar was announced as the director, and both Joshua Sternin and Jeffrey Ventimilia were tapped once again to write the film.[1] However, given the lack of further updates and the amount of time that passed since this announcement, it's likely this project too was canceled.

Errors

Everlasting influence

  • A live-action Hong Kong Phooey movie was in production around the same time as this film. But due to this movie's box office bomb, Hong Kong Phooey was silently canceled.
  • Shortly before the release of the film on December 13, 2010, animator Edmund Earle uploaded a video titled "Yogi Bear Alternate Ending: Booboo Kills Yogi," which depicts Boo Boo shooting and killing Yogi with a shotgun. After it went viral, Warner Bros. contacted Earle to put a disclaimer that the video was a parody and not affiliated with the series.[2]
    • Ten years later in 2020, during a livestream for a Pokémon Red ROM hack, YouTuber Saltydkdan would use this video in an joking attempt to "cancel" Boo Boo on Twitter, in a movement called "#BooBooIsOverParty."[3]
  • Homer Simpson, from The Simpsons, made an official Twitter post about the embarrassment of having paid to see this movie, and was hoping to move forward now that it was a new year in 2011.[4]
  • In the November 16, 2016 episode of Jeopardy!, for the category for "Entertaining Animals" with a $600 question regarding this movie, which was, "In a 2010 movie, Justin Timberlake voiced this sidekick to Yogi Bear."
