Yogi Bear [Blu-ray]

This movie was good! My kiddo loves Yogi and BooBoo!

Super cute movie and fun, We really enjoyed this movie and was good movie for family movie night. Will rent again

Good to watch with the kids! It’s a basic good ball good guys, and the bad guy they have to stop. But, the simple plot makes it easy to follow for young people.

I haven't seen a yogi bear cartoon for maybe 40+ years. I skipped this one at the theaters, but decided to get this on blu-ray 3D with my new 3D tv. Well the concept of yogi bear and his side kick booboo (bobo?, whatever...) was fun to revisit. They could have made this a "MUCH BETTER" movie by having better actors play the two leading human roles, the park ranger and the girl. Too bad they did not get more well known actors, better actors for the human parts. Dan Aykroyd would have been good for the park ranger, and he could have played both the yogi voice and the human ranger part as well. But beyond poor leading human roles, the movie has great 3D. When they were standing in the water waist deep, you felt like you were in the water too. That was a very good 3D effect. So yes! this movie is worth getting. And more so if you have kids or children. PLUS... almost as good as the movie itself is the bonus feature 3D cartoon THE ROAD RUNNER. Now THAT was a good ROAD RUNNER (beep beep) cartoon. AND IN 3D TOO !!! We never got that at the kiddie saturday movies in our youth, a ""3D"" road runner cartoon!I'd love to see more ROAD RUNNER 3D cartoons. Even a movie would be great!So to sum up... three stars for the yogi bear movie, 5 stars for the movie 3D effects, and 5 stars for the 3D ROAD RUNNER cartoon bonus feature.

Live-Action / CGI hybrids are a dime a dozen. While technically all movies these days use both live-action and CGI, this term is used to describe films in which main characters are played by both live actors and voice actors on CGI creatures. This kind of film is generally frowned upon, as they're most of the time a cheap way to release a known-franchise cash-in film for kids with very little work and lots of revenue. These films are generally based on old cartoons, in order to attract more people using the nostalgia factor.Yogi Bear is one of those films, and it just might be the exception. Sure, it's a comitee-made film by executives who just want a quick buck by spending little, but there's no denying that at least part of the production and filming team intended to actually entertain their audience.The film, based on the eponymous old Hanna-Barbera cartoon, follows the adventures of the eponymous antropomorphized bear, who spends his life in Jellystone Park with his friend the, um, height-challenged Boo Boo, stealing pic-a-nic baskets from unsuspecting visitors and generally making Park Ranger Smith's life a pandemonium, even as he tries to woo Rachel, a naturist who's studying the park. As the story progresses, the unnamed city's Mayor Brown has bankrupted the city and decides to sell the park to make a quick buck and help his campaign for Governor. So Yogi and Ranger Smith are forced to put aside their differences and work together in order to save the park, which you'll recognize as the plot you instantly thought of the moment a Yogi Bear movie was announced.Yes, the plot is generic to the core, as these movies go, but this one has the bright idea of sidetracking the main plot in order to focus on the details, where it shines. Unlike, say, The Smurfs, this movie doesn't feel the need to unnecessarily change the locale to the big city, instead focusing most of its time in the park, so you'll be treated to beautiful visuals. Unlike Garfield, this film doesn't change the characters' personalities to fit cliches, so they have to work the plot in their favor and not the other way around. And, unlike other films of this style, this doesn't turn into a potty-humor-fest, despite having ample opportunity to do so (I'm still amazed that no one farts here, even the 2014 TMNT film did that). Also, the resolution doesn't rely on Deus Ex Machinas or "forgetting" previous problems. The film actually does a good job of correctly establishing everything.Another important thing is that this film has genuinely funny moments. Sure, there's a lot of slapstick around, but for the most part is not forced or annoying, or simplistic (no crotch kicks, for instance). This is actually a very good adaptation of the original show. Granted, such a thing isn't HARD to do, but notice how pretty much every other film in this style completely fails at this simple task by unnecessarily introducing changes that do more harm than good.This film manages to be funny without insulting the audience, and it does so in part because of the writing, and in part because of the cast. Dan Aykroyd plays Yogi and Justin Timberlake plays Boo Boo. Timberlake does a pretty impressive job, but Aykroyd sounds less like Yogi and more like, well, Dan Aykroyd doing a Yogi impression. You get used to it in the course of the film, but it's a bit off-putting at first. That being said, they both manage to give emotion to their characters. Ranger Smith is played by Tom Cavanagh (aka Dr. Harrison Wells in The Flash TV show), and he's definitely the best part of the film. Props to the filmmaking team for giving a big role to a character that actually had a big role in the source material and not just make "original" characters take the spotlight. His love interest Rachel is played by Anna Faris, who's her usual charming cutie. Mayor Brown is played by Andrew Daly (you know, that guy who looks like a somewhat squashed Christopher Reeve), and Ranger Smith's second in command, Ranger Jones, is played by TJ Miller, which, like every other character played by TJ Miller... is TJ Miller.So yeah, the film is hardly original, but it's fun. It's not life-changing, but it's harmless. It's corny, but not insulting. So I recommend it.Word of advice, though. If you're getting the Blu-Ray, find the two-disc version. I got the one-disc version, not realizing there were two, and the extras are a joke. There's two "Jellystone Park Jewels", which are short videos made as if they were instructional videos for park visitors. They're short but amusing (though I feel there should be more of these). The other extra is "Yogi Bear Mashup", which merges the cast talking about the characters while scenes of the film and show are compared, and you can see where they got their inspiration for many scenes. It's cute to see actors describing the characters in one short sentence each, and you have to realize if they had more time they wouldn't have anything else to do because, let's face it, those were pretty one-note characters. Again, short but fun. There's nothing actually wrong with these extras, but you will have seen everything in less than 10 minutes, maybe even 5. The two-disc version is the way to go, as it has many more extras, at least according to the box picture.

It’s was fun to watch!

My littles 5, 3, and 1.5 love this movie

Comment: I have to laugh when I hear these people reciting bogus information about 3D and the wearing of "goofy" glasses from so called "technical reporters" that formed their opinion based on a brief viewing in a crowded noisy convention, rather than living with a 3D TV in their homes for awhile. These same people will stand in line for hours and spend $18 apiece (not to mention the cast of food) to get in. That same 3D experience (or better) can be had any time they want (with their family) for the cost of one admission. This family movie is a case in point. It is family entertainment on all levels. The jokes are great... the story is "lesson learning"... and the 3D effect is wonderful with the occasional surprise. It is probably a little mild for teenagers and "tweensters" but if it's a wholesome funny politically correct family movie your looking for, this is it... it's "smarter than the average bear... right Boo Boo"?

El producto es genial, esta versión es exactamente la misma que la española pero con la caratula en frances tiene idioma en castellano y ademas el pack trae dos blu ray uno normal y otro 3d los diseños son muy buenos totalmente serigrafiados me a encantado y ademas tiene muy buena calidad de audio video y de extras. Muy contento con el. La versión española no se consige pero esta es la misma pero con otra caratula en otro idioma. Y ademas pack 2 en 1 ademas con una funda de carton todo en perfecto estado, estas cosas son ya difícikes de conseguir

Purtroppo il 3D domestico è morto da tempo e non si trovano nuovi titoli prodotti con questa tecnologia, quando le mie piccole vogliono immergersi in un film 3D sono costrette a reciclare quelli che già abbiamo in casa.Questo è uno dei titoli più gettonati.È un film da bambini, con una trama semplice e divertente, gli effetti 3D sono buoni.

Excellent 3d effects and deserves 5 stars for that, but movie is strictly for small kids, adults and even teens might find the content a bit too mild for entertainment.

This review is based on having watched the film at home on Blu-ray with my family.Warner brothers, with Dan Aykroyd voicing Yogi Bear and Justin Timberlake voicing his sidekick Boo Boo, have done a magnificent job of recreating the old Hannah Barbara cartoon series about the rascally bear of "Jellystone Park." This 80 minute film is very true to the spirit of the original and had both the adults and children in my family in fits of laughter. The human characters are shown in live action: the animation of Yogi, Boo Boo and special effects is so well done that you have to watch the extras if you want to work out where live action stops and computer generated images begin. Even in High Definition I couldn't see the joins.The film starts with Yogi up to his usual tricks which will be familiar to anyone who watched the original, trying to steal "pic-a-nic baskets" from the visitors to the park, with the head ranger (Tom Cavanagh) trying to stop him. Shortly thereafter a wildlife film maker, Rachel Johnson (Anna Faris) arrives, wanting to film the unusual creatures who live at Jellystone. And then a cartoonishly evil politician, Mayor and Gubernatorial candidate Brown (Andrew Daly) comes up with a plot to close Jellystone and cut down all the trees. It will need all of Yogi's daft ingenuity and the efforts of the Ranger and Rachel working together to save the park ...Even more than the original this film is silly but exceptionally entertaining fantasy. It was like watching a cartoon in live action, and although the film piles layer on layer of impossibilities it was extremely easy to suspend disbelief while watching the film and just enjoy it.Quality of the visual images was superb, and the acting was excellent. Aykroyd and Timberlake wonderfully brought the talking bears to life, Cavanagh, Faris and T.J. Miller as the assistant ranger were excellent as supporting characters and Daly, with Nathan Corddry as his sycophantic assistant, made an effective villain.A treat for both present day kids and forty or fiftysomething "big kids" reliving their childhood.

Ich hatte mir den Film sehr günstig über Amazon-Marketplace auf DVD bestellt, weil ich sehr skeptisch war. Nachdem ich "Die Schlümpfe" FURCHTBAR fand und auch "DER GESTIEFELTE KATER" mich nicht sonderlich angesprochen hat, war ich vorsichtig. Ich muss sagen, dass ich den Film total kurzweilig und sehr unterhaltsam fand. Die Bären sind toll animiert, es gibt immer was zu lachen, der Film wird nicht einmal langweilig und er hat keine Gags die unter die Gürtellinie gehen (Ich sage nur: Goldene Eier in "Der gestiefelte Kater" !). Er ist sehr kindgerecht hat aber auch für Erwachsene einiges zu bieten. Die beiden richtigen Hauptdarsteller (Anna Faris und "Der Knülch", der den Hauptranger spielt) sind gut (bis sehr gut) und DIE SCHILDKRÖTE ist der Hammer. Alleine dafür lohnt es sich schon den Film gesehen zu haben. Das DVD-Bild ist ordentlich, aber nicht so gut, dass ich nicht darüber nachdenke mir vielleicht doch die Blu-Ray (natürlich über Amazon-Marketplace) zuzulegen. Der Film läuft (ohne Abspann) 70 Minuten und das ist nicht zu kurz und nicht zu lang. Yogi Bärs Stimme, ist, meine ich, die Synchronstimme von John Travolta oder Dan Aykroyd. Bei der Wildwasserszene sieht man, zugegeben, dass sie vor der Blue oder Green Screen spielt, aber ansonsten ist alles HOMOGEN, so dass man nicht das Gefühl hat irgendetwas passt nicht zusammen. Der Ton ist auch gut und die Synchronisation hat sehr gute Arbeit geleistet. Ich kann den Film nur empfehlen. Er ist genau das, was ich erwartet hatte, kurzweilige Popcornunterhaltung für Zwischendurch die einfach Spass macht. (Ich konnte wirklich viel lachen :-))
