Talk:Yogi's Ark Lark

In the event that you wish to have that article made in that name, I had already linked it on Hanna-Barbera as just "Yogi's Ark Lark", putting more preference over that than the episode, which could just be called "Yogi's Ark Lark (episode)". -- MisterJames (talk) 23:20, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Interestingly enough, the ship itself was called "Yogi's Ark", for some reason I thought it shared the same name as the film, but I guess you were referring to the episode on the Yogi Bear wiki. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 23:28, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Oh, that's what you were thinking. Wikipedia says that the movie was split into two parts, but the version I saw online (ripped from a Boomerang showing) was still the entire movie with just a new scene added at the beginning to make it a flashback. It does explain how things started but doesn't explain why Noah just disappeared forcing them to change the name of the boat because otherwise calling it Noah's Ark wouldn't have really made sense. I mean, one could say that they never saw any potential in a series following, but if they went thru the trouble of adding a new scene at the beginning, they could've capped it off with a new ending that then explained something about Noah leaving and then them deciding to rename it Yogi's Ark. -- MisterJames (talk) 23:37, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Didn't another source say "Yogi's Birthday Party" was a three part episode? Because to me that episode seemed like it just longer than others episodes. Some sources say some incorrect information sometimes. I did find it a little weird that Noah disappeared after awhile. Guess he didn't stick around for too long. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 03:01, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

There's a similar issue with Top Cat and his gang, Ding-a-Ling, Dum Dum, Ruff and Reddy, Lambsy, Sawtooth and the Dinosaur, as they didn't appear in the series, but appeared in the movie. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 20:34, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Navigation

I find it debatable what the navigation in the infobox should be directed to since this is the beginning of Yogi's Gang. -- MisterJames (talk) 22:34, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Maybe we could put in the first episode of Yogi's Gang on the navigation. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 22:36, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Or Yogi's First Christmas? Since Casper's First Christmas is technically about Casper. But linking non-direct sequel films about one character confuses things because that would mean instead of linking back and forth between only the 2-D direct-to-video Scooby films, we'd have to include Scooby Goes Hollywood, the three 80s movies, Arabian Nights (although I'm not sure who's movie that really belongs to, I guess that it would really belong to Shaggy and Scooby's since they start off the movie and tell the two stories), the theatrical live-action movies, the TV live-action movies, the puppet movie, and SCOOB! Also, bringing it back to Yogi, that would mean it would link from Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!, Yogi's Ark Lark, Yogi's First Christmas, Yogi's All-Star Christmas Caper, the three 80s movies (I can't remember what order they're in), Yogi the Easter Bear, and then the live-action film. What's your take? -- MisterJames (talk) 01:20, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

I linked it in. Casper's First Christmas had Yogi (and the others) in it, but Yogi was more of a guest star. LaL could also be pretty much ether be it's own show, or a Yogi show, a Huckleberry show, a Quick Draw show, a Scooby show, a Captain Caveman show, a Dynomutt show etc. it's super hard to actually know for sure considering the show and comics give pretty much every character the same amount of screen time. I would count it as it's own. Other shows (or movies) involving Yogi as a main character are about him as mainstream. Also I've watched Arabian Nights and I can determine that it's meant to be a Scooby film as the other characters are just part of fictional story settings in universe and the one that had Yogi and Boo Boo didn't really give them enough screen time to count as a Yogi film. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 01:43, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

I forgot to mention, The Good, the Bad and the Huckleberry Hound also featured them as side characters as it's more of Huckleberry's film. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 23:39, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Tom Ruegger talked about that on his blog. He said that Barbera forced Yogi on the film, which didn't make sense to Ruegger, although apparently, that film also had the most freedom out of the 10 films that came out at that time. -- MisterJames (talk) 23:42, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Breathing in space???

It's a little unnerving that they could breathe in space because in LaL: Siam and the Moon (which came out years later) they were wearing helmets despite the fact of them knowing that they have the ability of breathing in space. Making wearing a helmet for them unnecessary. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 06:40, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Ark Lark vs. Ark Lark

I've been debating for awhile now if the Ark Lark episode should be on the same page as the TV movie because to me, it's actually the same thing only in the episode it was a story told by Yogi while the movie is in current events, and they also cut out the part with the animals going to Jellystone Park at the starting (which was in the TV movie). -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 08:12, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, I've always had a problem with this, and I don't know what HB was thinking when they decided to put the movie at the end of the series. What's even weirder is that it apparently aired in two parts, yet the version I saw online was just the same exact version, albeit with the TV intro instead and some slight differences, which does make it its own thing, so by default allows it to have its own page. But it's a headache though, certainly. I hate the disambiguation of it, so having them separate supports the headache, but it's not the end of the world. I never liked the idea of having "Scooby-Doo (character)," but came to accept it as an unfortunate necessity. -- MisterJames (talk) 08:31, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

HB can have their lazy moments, and in this case it's an example. Although I definitely agree with you on individual articles, it's definitely a headache to have them individual articles. It kinda sucks that we have to go with "(character)" at the end of some characters such as Scooby, Yogi, Speed Buggy, Quick Draw, Huck, Snagglepuss .etc but if it helps the reader find the article easier, it should be alright. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 09:37, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
