YOGI BEAR (2010)
SYNOPSIS
Everyone’s favorite pic-a-nic basket-stealing bear comes
to the big screen in “Yogi Bear,” a live-action/computer
animated adventure filmed in 3D.
The film stars Academy Award® nominee Dan Aykroyd
(“Driving Miss Daisy”) as the voice of Jellystone Park’s
most famous troublemaker, Yogi Bear. Two-time Emmy
Award® winner (“Saturday Night Live”) and six-time
Grammy Award winner Justin Timberlake will star as the
voice of Boo Boo, Yogi’s faithful pal and co-conspirator in
his tireless schemes to separate Jellystone Park patrons
from their lunches.
The film’s live-action cast includes Anna Faris (“Observe
and Report”) as nature documentary filmmaker Rachel
Johnson; Tom Cavanagh (NBC’s “Ed,” “How to Eat Fried
Worms”) as Yogi’s amiable nemesis Ranger Smith; T.J.
Miller (“Gulliver’s Travels”) as Smith’s diligent deputy,
Ranger Jones; Andrew Daly (“The Informant!”) as the
conniving Mayor Brown; and Nate Corddry (“The Pacific”)
as his Chief of Staff.
Jellystone Park has been losing business, so Mayor
Brown has decided to shut it down and sell the land. That
means families will no longer be able to experience the
natural beauty of the outdoors—and, even worse, Yogi
and his pal Boo Boo will be tossed out of the only home
they’ve ever known. Faced with his biggest challenge
ever, Yogi must prove that he really is “smarter than the
average bear” as he and Boo Boo join forces with Ranger
Smith to find a way to save the park from closing forever.

One of television’s most beloved cartoon characters, “Yogi Bear” began as a feature of the Hanna-
Barbera series “The Huckleberry Hound Show,” before headlining his own show in 1961. Yogi’s television
success led to a nationally syndicated comic strip and, in 1964, he became the first Hanna-Barbera
cartoon character to make his movie screen debut in “Hey There, It’s Yogi Bear.” “Yogi Bear” has since
appeared as several series and one-hour specials. --© Warner Bros.
