Yogi Bear (2010) 6/10

Starring : Dan Aykroyd, Justin Timberlake, Anna Faris, Tom Cavanagh
Director : Eric Brevig
Running Time : 81 mins

As Jellystone Park celebrates its 100th Anniversary, park ranger Smith (Cavanagh) receives the disturbing news that the park isn’t make enough money and may be closed at the end of the season. When local bears Yogi (Aykroyd) and Boo Boo (Timberlake) hear that their home may be closed to the public – which will mean no more picnic baskets – they decide to join forces with their historical enemies, the park rangers, and try to save the park.

I didn’t expect this to be brilliant, and it wasn’t. The Warner Brothers style animation hasn’t really improved over the years, and the slim plot was barely noticeable. Casting Tom Cavanagh as Ranger Smith seemed like a half-hearted effort to find someone to match the cartoon character, but Aykroyd and, surprisingly, Timberlake were perfect as Yogi and Boo Boo.
