– – As if we all didn’t suffer enough at Christmas, you’re soon to be hit with both a Yogi Bear and a Smurfs movie! As Al Bundy might have questioned, “Are we not fit to die?!”
The live-action/CGI Yogi Bear movie opens December 17th, and stars none less than Dan Aykroid as the voice of Yogi with Justin Timberlake doing the honors (?) as Boo-Boo Bear. Aykroid was reportedly sent tapes of Daws Butler performing the original voice of Yogi Bear, but refused to listen to them, preferring to do his own take on the character. The movie is reportedly pretty thin on a story line, not that there was great intellectual content in the original Hanna-Barbera cartoon…
Of greater interest to me is the fact that the film in theaters will be preceded by a new 3D short with Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner entitled, “Rabid Rider.”– -Now that’s entertainment!
