For TV Month, I am watching the first ever movie based on an animated TV show! I admit to never having watched the original "Yogi Bear" show. The thing is, I really think I know everything I should as I've seen some spinoffs featuring the character. While not a great film, I enjoyed it enough. The animation is honestly pretty good. Then again, it isn't really much different than the show.Of course, this was the first movie of its kind. I'm not going to say this show was on the same level as something like "The Flintstones" or "Top Cat". I actually liked the character Cindy Bear and it was kind of a nicely written romance. The pacing was decent and it does have a pretty interesting story. There's really a lot going on. Most of the jokes are good. ***

This is a fun, delightful movie for children and adults! The music is amazing. Doug Goodwin, who is one of the major composers of music and lyrics has brought an upbeat, fun and sing along adventure for all of us. We hear Doug's name mentioned for decades in Hanna Barbara, Pink Panther Christmas and Johnny Mathis. I understand that Doug has over 300 songs he has written. In addition to the songs he has written for shows, I have read many of the lyrics and I can hear Tony Bennett, K.D. Lang and so many others bringing his songs to life. He writes from the heart and when we listen to his piano and his words, we connect as humans. For a delightful and warm experience, I encourage you to go to www.andtheniwrote. Click on Doug Goodwin. He has songs to listen to that will make you smile and feel good Watch Hey There it's Yogi Bear and listen to the great music and lyrics! They are exceptional!

Yogi bears first Theatrical feature is actually pretty good.the pace is good,it's pretty colourful for the kids,and it's fairly funny.in fact,there is one running gag that is hysterical.i also loved all the different voices.there were many people voicing more than one character.i recognized some of the voices from other cartoons,and some of the names were also familiar from their work on other cartoons.the only drawback i found was there a few too many musical numbers,some of which went on bit too long,and kinda stopped the momentum and flow.but that's just my opinion.and it's certainly suitable for kids,and it has enough entertainment in it for adults.

I don't care for the older Yogi cartoons, but several of the movies are much better at character development. The best of these is this movie.It has Yogi finally deciding he loves Cindy Bear and then he learns she's been transferred to another zoo. He and Boo Boo immediately set out across the United States to rescue her. They run into bad guys who try to capture them for a sleazy circus.My favorite scene is the love song Yogi sings to her when they finally meet. Very romantic. Most of the other songs in the movie are good, too--and fun to sing!The other thing I liked about this movie was that the Ranger is shown as more than just a jerk rule-enforcer of the Park. He actually likes Yogi and tries to rescue him when he's in danger.
