''Yogi Bear and the Magical Flight of the Spruce Goose'' is a 1987 television film produced by Creator/HannaBarbera as part of their ''[[WesternAnimation/HannaBarberaSuperstars10 Superstars 10]]'' series of syndicated TV movies. The film stars WesternAnimation/YogiBear and other H-B characters like Boo-Boo, WesternAnimation/HuckleberryHound, WesternAnimation/QuickDrawMcGraw and Snagglepuss as members of a tour of the famous ''Spruce Goose''. While exploring the plane, it magically takes off, sending the gang on an outrageous adventure. And before you ask, yes, ''that'' ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hughes_H-4_Hercules Spruce Goose]]'' the H-4 "Hercules" military airlift flying boat prototype made by ''that''
Creator/HowardHughes, and which only flew once in its entire career before the project was cancelled and the plane itself put on public display. This is one of the ''least'' wild parts of this movie, as Yogi, his stowaway friend Bernice, and the gang travel the world in the magic-powered airplane on a high-flying adventure encountering friendly aliens, evil poachers, and the scheming Dread Baron and Mumbly, who has his own plans for the ''Spruce Goose.''

* InsultBackfire: When Dread Baron begs to go with Yogi and his crew, Yogi refuses because he's a "sneaky, no-good, lying, conniving stinker." The Dread Baron is flattered.

* AWizardDidIt: How the plane became active in the first place. Lampshaded by the characters who wonder how Yogi was able to start the plane just by pushing a single button.
* BaitAndSwitch: At one point, Yogi and the others hear a banging and wonder where it is. They initially think it's a bird with a bad wing that got stuck, but after fixing its wing, the banging returns. Yogi and his friends find a door where the banging is coming from and that's how they meet Bernice.



* LittleStowaway: Bernice
* PragmaticVillainy: The heroes are divided on rescuing Drad Baron and Mumbly, but they agree to do it if they perform a good deed (in this case, returning a lost egg to its nest on the mountain). The heroes still acknowledge he's not doing a good deed for the sake of it, just for his own benefit.
* RandomEventsPlot: This movie is very....odd from beginning to end.

to:

* LittleStowaway: Bernice
Bernice, though not entirely by choice: She and her mom were at the plane earlier and Bernice got lost.
* NewJobsAsThePlotDemands: Yogi is depicted as running his own tour service.
* PlotIrrelevantVillain: A pair of aliens appear at two points trying to launch an AlienInvasion but are unknowingly thwarted by the heroes.
* PragmaticVillainy: The heroes are divided on rescuing Drad Dread Baron and Mumbly, but they agree to do it if they perform a good deed (in this case, returning a lost egg to its nest on the mountain). The heroes still acknowledge he's not doing a good deed for the sake of it, just for his own benefit.
* RandomEventsPlot: This movie is very....odd from beginning to end. The film does start with Yogi Bear and his friends going to see the Spruce Goose, which does make sense. When Yogi finds a roped off area on the plane and decides to investigate and he and the others are locked in, ''that's'' when things start getting weird.



* {{Tomboy}}: Bernice

to:

* {{Tomboy}}: Bernice to the point where Snagglepuss thinks she's a boy at first but Bernice demands he take it back, saying she's a girl much to Yogi and his friend's surprise.


Added DiffLines:

* TriumphantReprise: "The Holliday Jollyday Tour Bus" is reprised at the end of the film.
* VocalEvolution: Daws Butler's characters sound more noticeably aged here, particularly Quick Draw.

* {{Expy}}: Dread Baron and Mumbly are these to [[WesternAnimation/WackyRaces Dastardly and Muttley]]. Paul Winchell even uses his Dastardly voice for Dread Baron. The characters are first seen at Dastardly's plane from ''WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines''. Both were preceded by the dog Mugger from the WesternAnimation/HeyThereItsYogiBear (1964), all three characters were voiced by Don Messick. In the comic book ComicBook/LaffALympics, written by Mark Evanier, Dick Dastardly and Muttley meet Dread Baron and Mumbly and it is revealed that Dick Dastardly and Dread Baron are brothers.

This is one of the ''least'' wild parts of this movie, as Yogi, his stowaway friend Bernice, and the gang travel the world in the magic-powered airplane on a high-flying adventure encountering friendly aliens, evil poachers, and the scheming Dread Baron and Mumbly, who has his own plans for the ''Spruce Goose.''

----
!!This film contains examples of:
* ActorAllusion: Mumbly (voiced by Creator/DonMessick) imitates Creator/FrankSinatra's ad-libbed closing scat from "Strangers in the Night" at one point, but he instead sings, "[[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Scooby Dooby Doo!]]" Rather appropriate, too, as Sinatra's scat reportedly inspired Scooby's name in the first place.
* AnimationBump: The animation looks ''really'' good during the close ups of the characters.
* BerserkButton: Bernice tells the gang she doesn't like it when she's called a TomboyishName like "Bernie".
* CassandraTruth: Bernice's mom doesn't believe her daughter about the adventure.
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: To save the animals on a sinking ship, Bernice suggests using the nose-mounted cargo doors that the Hercules was designed with, but is informed that the ''Spruce Goose'' was built without the doors since it was only a prototype....so Yogi gets the gang to ''believe'' in the plane's cargo doors.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: The ''Spruce Goose'' comes across a stranded ship with animals and Yogi decides to tow them to land. They do this by tying ropes to the top of the ship's doors, which inevitably pulls them open and causing the ship to start sinking.
* {{Expy}}: Dread Baron and Mumbly are these to [[WesternAnimation/WackyRaces Dastardly and Muttley]]. Paul Winchell even uses his Dastardly voice for Dread Baron. The characters are first seen at Dastardly's plane from ''WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines''.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Or, more accurately, Historical Domain ''Vehicle.'' The titular ''Spruce Goose'' is the famous prototype flying boat designed by Howard Hughes, which, though what can only be described as unknown [[AWizardDidIt but obviously magical]] means, is brought to "life" and takes off on a world tour; it should be noted that, in real life, the ''Spruce Goose'' flew only once, in a one mile, 30 second flight off of Cabrillo Beach, California, though it was at least designed for trans-Atlantic flights in mind.
* {{Hollywood Natives}}: The movies' portrayal of island natives is rather sketchy as it depicts them as comedic thugs.
* HonorBeforeReason: The heroes don't believe Dread Baron's claims of being reformed, but they promised to rescue him and Mumbly if they did a good deed and feel bound to that. It comes back to bite them, of course.
* IWarnedYou: After Dread Baron betrays them, Yogi says he doesn't want to hear this. The others do it, anyway.
* IslandHelpMessage: Dread Baron and Mumbly write it at the island where the heroes meet them.
* LampshadeHanging: There's a lot of this such as Boo Boo asking if Yogi really knows how to fly a plane and the fact that Yogi was able to get the ''Spruce Goose'' flying in the first place.
* LittleStowaway: Bernice
* PragmaticVillainy: The heroes are divided on rescuing Drad Baron and Mumbly, but they agree to do it if they perform a good deed (in this case, returning a lost egg to its nest on the mountain). The heroes still acknowledge he's not doing a good deed for the sake of it, just for his own benefit.
* RandomEventsPlot: This movie is very....odd from beginning to end.
* RefuseToRescueTheDisliked: Dread Baron and Mumbly have to convince the good guys they're no longer evil or the heroes won't rescue them.
* RiddleForTheAges: It's never really explained how Yogi managed to get the plane started just by pushing one button.
* SuddenlySpeaking: As Dread Baron laments being stranded on the island, he also bemoans being stuck with a dog who speaks only in mumbles and demands he speak. Mumbly then delivers an eloquent statement about the situation and the arrival of the heroes.
* {{Tomboy}}: Bernice
* TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot: It would have taken at least several hours for the entire film to take place but when Yogi, his friends and Bernice return to the museum, it's only the next day.
* VoteEarlyVoteOften: When the heroes vote over rescuing Dread Baron and Mumbly or not, each side gets 8 votes in spite of there being only 10 voters.
* WhoIsDriving: At one point, Yogi steps to the back of the plane to talk with his friends and when asked who's piloting, pulls up Boo-Boo. When asked who's flying ''now'', Yogi and Boo Boo scramble back to the pilot's seat.
