3	''Yogi's Ark Lark'' is a one hour tv special by Creator/HannaBarbera in 1972 as a feature of ABC's ''Saturday Superstar Movie.'' It served as the pilot for the 1973 series ''WesternAnimation/YogisGang''.

5	WesternAnimation/YogiBear calls a meeting at Jellystone Park about how bad things are getting with pollution and they put together a plan to build a flying ark and go search for "the perfect place".
6	----
7	!!We're on our way to the perfect tropes:
8	* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: When the Ark goes straight off the planet, everyone manages to breathe in space just fine. Although Paw Rugg nearly floats away.
9	* CheesyMoon: Huck sees Pixie and Dixie running away with cheese in space. He wonders and realizes they got it from the moon.
10	* GreenAesop: The overall message of the special, that there is no place to escape the pollution but instead you should work to clean up your own home.
11	* FunnyAnimal: Most of the cast are this.
12	* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: A whole lot of the cast.
13	* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: While not Hanna-Barbera's first crossover, this was the first production that brought together many characters into one story.
14	** This also features an appearance from Hanna-Barbera's WesternAnimation/{{Moby Dick\|HannaBarbera}}, who was not from a FunnyAnimal series but from the action-based superhero ones.
15	* MeaningfulName: Smitty, the park employee who goes along with the gang, reveals that his first name is Noah.
16	* RememberTheNewGuy: While gathering a cast of so many past characters for this crossover, Yogi meets a random dinosaur who attends the meeting. No one seems to recall it from any other cartoon ever.
17	* RuleOfCool: The ark flies somehow by a treadmill powering a rotating blade with Magilla Gorilla (and occasionally other characters) supplying the power.
18	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: A green dinosaur is present during the meeting and even helps build the ark, but disappears after that.
