Fast forward nearly 50 years. Hollywood decided it was time to bring Jellystone into the 21st century, casting Dan Aykroyd as the voice of Yogi and Justin Timberlake as Boo-Boo.

Yogi gets himself into hot water (literally) when he tries to impress his girlfriend, Cindy, by stealing a picnic basket from the Ranger’s car. As punishment, Ranger Smith decides to send him to the San Diego Zoo. The rest of the film is a cross-country chase as Yogi and Boo-Boo try to make their way home, only to discover Cindy has been dognapped (bear-napped?) by a greedy circus owner.

Whether you prefer the hand-drawn classic of 1964 or the CGI fur of 2010, the lesson is the same: Don't steal the Ranger's picnic basket... unless you're absolutely sure you can get away with it.

While Jellystone Park is his natural habitat, the cinema has given Yogi a chance to grow (sometimes in CGI) while still clinging to his classic charm.

Before Toy Story or The Simpsons Movie , there was Yogi. This wasn't just a short; it was a full-length, theatrical animated feature.

For over 60 years, Yogi Bear has been the original "smarter-than-the-average" troublemaker. Born from the golden age of Hanna-Barbera, this picnic-basket-obsessed con artist has made the leap from our Saturday morning TV screens to the silver screen—twice.

This is pure nostalgia. The animation has that bouncy, limited-motion 60s feel, and the songs are surprisingly catchy ( “Ven-e, Ven-o, Ven-a” ). It proves that Yogi’s greed is only matched by his loyalty to his friends. 2. Yogi Bear (2010) The Hybrid (Live-Action/CGI) Reboot
