Yogi Bear

Go To

The 1961 Cartoon

The 2010 Film

  • Accidental Innuendo: One of the movie's posters had a close-up of Yogi's and Boo Boo's smiling faces, with Yogi behind Boo Boo. The tagline? "Great things come in bears".
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The scene where Yogi imagines himself as an astronaut in space encountering a giant donut.
  • Broken Base: While Justin Timberlake's Boo-Boo was very well-received, Dan Aykroyd's Yogi proved to be more divisive. Some thought he sounded completely off, others thought he did a good job.
  • He Really Can Act: If there's one thing that people will give the live-action movie credit for, it's that Justin Timberlake does a surprisingly very good job as Boo-Boo.
  • Questionable Casting:
    • Many fans were quite surprised when Dan Aykroyd was cast as the voice of Yogi Bear for the 2010 movie, and even more were outraged when Justin Timberlake was cast as Boo Boo Bear. Surprisingly, as revealed by the teaser, Timberlake was actually quite spot on.note  Aykroyd, on the other hand, was more divisive, but even then many did like his take on Yogi.
    • Tom Cavanagh is not the first actor who comes to mind when you think "strict authoritarian ranger". And for good reason.
  • Romantic Plot Tumor: For some people, Ranger Smith and Rachel’s love dynamic takes away from Yogi and Boo-Boo by focusing on their relationship and not the character who is in the title.
  • Stock Footage Failure: Yogi's use of the Wilhelm Scream when an acorn hits his eye has garnered infamy to the point where some call it one of the worst uses of the scream. This isn't helped by how he actually yelled in pain in the trailers, which begs the question as to why the Wilhelm Scream was still used in the final product.
  • Unintentional Uncanny Valley: The "great things come in bears" poster comes off as unnerving due to the fact that it uses extreme close-ups of Yogi and Boo-Boo's realistic stock renders.
