Created by Hanna-Barbera in 1958, Yogi Bear now features in 3D animation film in 2010. Watch the story of two friends: Yogi Bear (voice of Dan Aykroyd) and Boo Boo (voice of Justin Timberlake) struggling for their home, The Jellystone Park, which experiences not the best times now... The visitors' stream reduces constantly, and the bankruptcy looms on the horizon. At this crucial moment Yogi Bear (voice of Dan Aykroyd) and his friend Boo Boo (voice of Justin Timberlake) enter into open confrontation with the greedy Mayor Brown (Andrew Daly), who instead of taking some actions to attract visitors to the Jellystone Park, intends to cut all the trees and sell the land, to evict all of its inhabitants. To save the Jellystone Park from the evil Mayor's plans friends decide to unite with their former arch-enemy Ranger Smith, who turns to their side after falling in love with Rachel (played by Anna Faris), nature documentary filmmaker sympathizing unenviable fate of animals inhabiting Jellystone Park. However, it is not an easy task to save the Park, and friends are set off in all serious with the some daring Plan. Their wild idea to kidnap a rare and dangerous Frog-Mouthed Turtle finds the support from another character Ranger Jones (played by TJ Miller). Together they make "impossible things - possible" and you laughing "all way long" on their incredible antics. Generally "Yogi Bear" is a great animated comedy to be watched and enjoyed by the whole family. Children will be filled with laughter watching inimitable tricks animated characters, and adults will find a lot of fun in the sometimes ambiguous situations which Ranger Smith and his newly formed passion Rachel, falls in. No doubt "Yogi Bear" is both an amazing cartoon and a sitcom all-in-one, which will please both adults and children alike. And there is another thing which is interesting to think about; as it was said by Yogi Bear movie director Erick Brevig "I have kids, and I remember the characters from when I was young. I really wanted this to be a movie that doesn't make parents feel like they've been marginalized by changing the characters, and trying to make them hip and different from who they are"…
