That just makes me feel better when I call this movie garbage
Maybe you meant to say something else, I am trying to figure out how Hollywood continuing to sink lower is a good thing.
I mean while the movie looks bad, and we'd be quick to call it worst ever, we shouldn't face-palm too hard because by going this far with a Yogi Bear movie, Hollywood has shown a determination to break new ground at the bottom of the sea, regardless of how much oil they'll leak into the Gulf of Mexico. They are ocean bound to make worse movies than this, it's in the heart of the cards.
I feel a bit mixed up actually. o_O
At least the voices aren't bad.
I get a slight Rodney Dangerfield homage from Yogi, and that fact that "Mr. Smooth and Sexy" JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE is doing Boo Boo's voice cracks me up far too much. XD
I'm not a big Yogi fan to start, so I likely won't see the movie. But from what I can tell, it seems to have the right feel a Yogi Bear movie should have. Whether the other 1.5+ hours of movie are the same, remains to be seen.
The movie poster is pretty suggestive.
Boo Boo: run for your poopers.

I haven't been paying attention to this, but this is pretty funny.

Booboo sounds ok, but Yogi sounds terrible, I can't believe that was the best they could do.

It's not; there's any number of people who could do a passable Yogi but they wanted a name actor regardless of how they sound.

Hey don't insult my opinion I'm entitled to it :sad:
firecrouch defending high quality works of art.
well to be fair it really doesn't look awesome but hey I'd watch it, I really don't mind live-action adaptations of silly cartoons. I mean I don't see what the problem is other here. It just looks like the a regular kids movie with weird looking bears.

Art Carney, not Rodney.

That's the problem, I'm sick of Hollywood ruining all my childhood favorites with the same tired formulas. Yogi Bear is a pretty well established character and I'm not even remotely getting a real Yogi Bear vibe from this at all. It's like they didn't even try with this one.

It doesn't look like they're ruining shit to me. It seems exactly like the same story as the cartoon except in live-action, in what way are they ruining it, in what way did they not try? I mean how can you really expand upon this silly cartoon and do it justice?

You can't - and they shouldn't have tried.
How can I put this…everything about that trailer...made me want to puke? Bad acting, generic script, bad animation, and dude, Yogi is freaking creepy.

Yes, I definately agree with you. It's absurd. I think people were just bound to complain whatever they produced.
It's like expecting Mom's Cake to taste exactly like Grandma's. It's the same stuff, but in a bigscreen film.
People don't like the idea of the Bigscreen Movie not being exactly %100 the same as the cartoon,
complete with 2D animation, and with the stigma that all remakes are crap, they complain it's being ruined.
I think the old yogi bear was fucking boring
this movie is still garbage
it's like the marmaduke movie, where they took something nobody really cared about and THREE DEE'D it, expecting Squeekuel results and wringing thier slimy hands gleefully, eyeballing the rest of the free Hanna Barbera library
You can't - and they shouldn't have tried.

You sir, have the worst immune system in the world.
Also where did you get the script? I wouldn't mind reading it too.
I can understand that it's became a standard to hate anything NEW, and to state generic, "I hate everything about a 110 minute movie" from a 1 minute trailer. Get over yourself.

So, if you don't like it no one does. I for one liked Yogi. And judging about how much you guys are getting worked up for a movie that's not even for your age group, I say a lot of you care about it.
To be honest, the voices don't bother me at all. Yogi does sound a little off, but that's something after 20 minutes in you'll forget. Yogi's design… is a little bad. I think they need to go for a more bare looking design. Scooby worked because he more based off a real dog, and tweaked to fit Scooby. This is like taking the cartoon and adding textures to it; just doesn't look right.
The plot is exactly the same as the show. Actually it is the show; only with a bigger budget. Is it going to be a great movie? Probably not; is it going to be bad? Could be, but you can't judge that from that trailer.
The trailer is to sell it two different people. The old fans who have grand kids who'll get nostalgia from it; and the kids who'll find the trailer hilarious.
So, if you don't like it no one does. I for one liked Yogi. And judging about how much you guys are getting worked up for a movie that's not even for your age group, I say a lot of you care about it.
ha ha seriously?
I haven't seen boo diddly of yogi bear for almost a decade now (except for cameo appearances in shows like Harvey birdman) so excuuuuuse me princess if i deduce anybody anywhere who has anything to do with cartoon production really gave a shit about Yogi
I hope this movie paves the way for more live action gems, so my lifelong dream of seeing

starting Channing Tatum (and the voice of Morgan Freeman) can finally be realized

Well, I got to hand it to you, you've made far more ridiculous assumptions about me based on one comment that I did about the movie. I'm sorry, were you really looking foward to this movie?
Not sure how someone is here for 4 years and thinks I'm a dude. :ninja:
Look, some things are just bad ideas, you can be the special olympics advocate for bad movies and cheer them on, but I'm still going to rant when I see Hollywood making movies like this because it feels like someone took my toys and gave them to Syd to pull off limbs and strap on fireworks. It's the sheer number of these movies that is getting to me and they're getting progressively worse. MAYBE the movie will be better than I think. If I'm sorely wrong I would gladly say so, but I'm willing to bet I'm not on this one.

Next it could be TURBO TEEN.
There actually ARE some new versions of old cartoons coming out that I'm looking forward to - there's some concepts that beg for a retelling and others that just scream NO.
I dunno, I just don't see the problem with this movie. It just looks like something that's gonna be really silly and something that's gonna please kids and put their parents to sleep. Everything seems really standard from the trailer, nothing great but nothing terrible either. I just feel like most people who despise the idea of this movie just don't like the idea of taking something that was made purely to be a cartoon and make it live-action.
Personally I don't have a problem with it, I mean just because something was made specifically for one medium and never meant to be something else doesn't mean it can't work. And it's still a cartoon, the bears aren't guys in suits. And honestly they creeped me out at first, but now they just look like any other CGI characters. "Scooby-Doo", the first live-action "Flintstones", and "Popeye" worked for me so I don't see why this can't work. It could be terrible too. it could either way.
My biggest problem (aside from the fact that yogi and boo boo creep the piss out of me… Cartoons and realism, man) is that this movie has no reason to exist. It's the same exact formula every fucking time: take one old cartoon character that only anyone over 16 can recognize (preferably in public domain/who's original creator is dead/is a moderately well known dog (doesn't matter if he talked in the original cause he's gonna talk in the movie)) to almost-super-realistic CGI (grandpa is gonna shit his pants when he sees what we can do with computers these days), get some famous celebrity chimps to co-star/voice act, set the film in California/New York/High School, pick out some generic crap story to pad out the film for an hour+half, add toilet humor and hits to the groin, then rinse wash repeat
it really bothers me that people fall for this garbage formula every time. I just think the audience deserves a bit more than this, but then again, I'm an idealist, and I don't understand that people will take money over integrity (and decent writing) any day

^This, pretty much.
Not all live-action remakes of old shows do that. I thought Flintstones was clever enough - the show was just an animated sitcom, it lent itself more to the idea of a feature film. Some producers actually put some thought and creativity into revamping an old idea. I thought the Brady Bunch movie was a funny satire of itself, for instance.
Yogi Bear = pretty much the same as the Garfield movie - which everyone admits was pretty awful.
First impressions are important, but either way let's at least wait for the full movie.

The other day I actually searched Youtube and found a link to the first clip of The Elm-Chanted Forest to put as a response to your regular kids movie, but had to leave before I got a chance to do so.
Nice to see that it made it into the thread anyway.

Remove the talking dog line and it would be impossible to tell if you were talking about Underdog, Scooby Doo, Yogi Bear, Marmaduke, or Alvin and the Chipmunks.

taboo already has it pegged though. It's not a film made by people who care in any shape, form, or fashion about the material it's based on (casting alone makes that blatantly obvious), but are cynically trying to make a quick buck by exploiting a character's name so that parents will bring their kids to see it while relying on the same nonsense that passes for children's entertainment these days.

it was destiny

The saddest part is, even WITH the "talking dog" line, it still applies to 3 of them.
My take is, Yogi never ever managed to sustain more than a 6 minute short. And they were all the same. I can't remember a single distinct Yogi Bear cartoon, or gimmick therin, and I must have watched it a fair bit as a child. (But even young I knew Looney Tunes were superior to the Hanna Barbara world… and the Disney stuff was great but never got play anywhere.)
Even the christmas special movie where he invited over the entirety of the Hanna Barbara universe and they had mistletoe, hibernation, song numbers, and the usual Christmas Gimmicks to exploit... was 90 minutes too long. Garfield managed to sustain himself for 20 minutes at a time and for an long running tv series, so there was ROOM for that to work. Sort of.
Cripes. Do an El Kabong movie instead. At least that can work as a broad parody and lends itself to something resembling a story.
For the record. George of the Jungle was a fantastically adapted cartoon short made movie that had a random talking animal in it, so it CAN be done.
Actually robby, I remember one cartoon - where Yogi got into a fight with a 'real' brown bear and got beaten up.
But suffice to say,
@robbybedfart:
gimmick
Is the key word here. The entire movie revolves around a cartoon short's gimmick that's been pimped out, and banks on nostalgia, marquee actors, CGI visuals and lowbrow humour pretending to be satire to reel in money.
I've said this before - while The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle got a lot of slack back in the day, it was a witful and entertaining flick that predated this string of formulaic movies and yet probably made less money than Underdog did. But that's a big reason why such movies are being made.
If there's anyone to blame it's the idiot adults who give these shows money and perpetuate the disease. hurr durr I saw dis show in my childhoodz, I'm gonna watch this for lulz and hawt wimminz huff huff!
Like I tried to say, this movie less about the old fans (or non fans) of the original show; but instead its trying to re-introduce the world to Yogi Bear. This generation doesn't know a thing about it, and most will probably think its something new.
Also, I was more of a fan of the campy; Yogi Bear's Treasure Hunt.

But then you can argue that this is a cash in on the Scooby Doo mystery theme that was around in the 70's and 80's. You know;
Josie and the Pussycats
JabberJaw
Captain Caveman
Fangface
the Amzing Chan Clan
etc

Oh yeah, I'm totally PRO-REMAKE of HB series, if there's some life in it. Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law was fantastic, there's that new scooby doo thing that's good apparently, and even Venture Bros has Johnny Quest in it
Vn1pf0Xi3nU
there's so much more you can do with the LIBRARY of HB shows that's better than MAKE X FAMILIAR CHARACTER SUPER REALISTIC 3D
I promised myself that if I (by any strange turn of events) ever went into animation, that I would attempt to revive Jabberjaw. My inspiration? Having seen the video that taboo posted as a child.
Jus sayin.
I too dream of bringing back a decades old franchise using a film that will likely only have primary appeal to nostalgic adults and children who watch Boomerang.
THE FORMULA claims another innocent victim
Oh God. They're CGing Bugs Bunny in a movie? Even I know that's a bad idea.
If he must be in a live action movie, can't he be given the Space Jam/Back In Action! treatment?

I have to agree. The Rocky and Bullwinkle movie was very watchable and quite funny at times (sorry robby, I never did see George of the Jungle).

You just answered your own question. Back in Action flopped (even I have never seen it) and they haven't been able to make a tv series work for decades (even though the obvious solution is just… keep running the classic shorts that worked for 60 years for multiple generations. And Animaniacs.)

Its not a must see or "buy the dvd" by any means. But it airs on tv pretty often. Try and give it a watch if you can, its pretty fun and well aware of what it is.
Or, youtube it, apparently.

The narrator is awesome.
Fraser's George of the Jungle was pretty good for what it is. Strong streak of quality Brooksian humor, which is something cinema is lacking these days.
Where's the Hong Kong Phooey remake, and who would be willing to do a Scatman Crothers impersonation? XD
They are currently working on reviving Bugs Bunny and the other Looney Toons. Its called the Looney Toons show, and the overall plot from I got from is;
Bugs allows Daffy to stay with him in till Daffy can get back on his feet. And the other Looney Toons characters are supposed to return too.
Also, look at who's writing the script, its the guy who wrote Elf. Which I don't know how many of you enjoyed that or not; that'll the quality of script we'll get.

people will scream "Its 3D!! 2.) It's a remake," etc, etc - But I'll give it a fair chance.

Dammit, part of me really wants this Bugs Bunny movie to happen and kick ass. The franchise is in desperate need of new material, nothing really good has been done with the Looney Tunes universe since Tiny Toon Adventures (and that kinda stems into the same category as Loonatics Unleashed, which is 'based on Looney Tunes, but not them')
And apparantly, there's going to be 3 3D animated shorts before Cats & Dogs: Revenge of Kitty Galore, Legend of the Guardians, and Yogi Bear, all featuring Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner. Well, at least I'll be able to see the one in Guardians.
