Whenever they announce something like a Marmaduke movie, or a Smurfs movie, or a – sure, why not? – Yogi Bear movie, people’s reaction is always the same: “Who wanted THAT?!” Well, I hate to break it to you, but we’ve reached the point where it doesn’t matter if literally not one person on Earth wants to see a big-screen version of a fictional character. If someone in Hollywood owns the rights to that character, a movie will be made. That’s just how it is.
So here, inevitably, is ‘Yogi Bear,’](Yogi Bear (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) which puts a computer-animated Yogi and Boo Boo in a live-action Jellystone Park and gives them the voices of Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake. Turns out Aykroyd and Timberlake do really good impressions of these 50-year-old cartoon characters, which means there is one (and precisely one) aspect of the film worthy of praise.
