A classic from my youth that still holds up. Yogi takes a stand against Ranger Smith about his food begging and is shipped to a zoo when he complains about the rules. When Cindy finds out she requests a transfer also (she doesn't want to live without Yogi) not knowing that Yogi is still in Jellystone (who schemed another bear to take his place). Yogi and Boo Boo set out to find Cindy and bring her back to Jellystone. They find Cindy captured by an evil circus owner who forces Cindy to walk the high wire against her will. They free her and escape heading back home. Not good with directions, the bears end up in Manhattan. They fee the scared and frightened public up a building under construction and end up on TV. Here Ranger Smith finds his missing bears and rescues them in a hilarious showdown with Yogi. This was Hanna-Barbera's first animated feature and it starred their biggest star. They remained true to the characters and put them in funny situations and settings for, in my opinion, the best feature they ever did.Read full review
With the glut of straight-to-video rubbish that is thrown at children these days, it's easy for a gem like "Hey There, It's Yogi Bear" to get overlooked. This movie is not like the others as it was produced for motion picture theaters and graced the silver screen in the summer of 1964. Yogi Bear is, of course, a product of Joseph Barbera and William Hanna, two experienced animators from the golden days of movie cartoons who formed their own company and tackled the television market with a new approach to low-budget animation. By 1964 they had already enjoyed years of great success with hit cartoon series like Huckleberry Hound and The Flintstones. With this, their first re-entry into movie theaters, they took no chances as the two masters of animation personally wrote and directed the feature. The result is first rate all the way! The animation is in the TV-style but has very little repetition and is actually vibrant in its approach. It also features a roster of fantastic songs, and even Yogi himself sings a ballad quite beautifully! This film's biggest setback is that few people know about it. I think if more parents were aware of this film, it would be more commonly seen amongst family DVD collections. If you get the chance to enjoy this film, then you will be interested to know Hanna-Barbera's 2nd big screen cartoon was "The Man Called Flintstone."Read full review
This movie is a classic. It's also very nostalgic to me. I grew up watching this on VHS. It was the 1st theatrically released animated film based on a famous cartoon. A lot of the animators from Warner Bros. worked on this film and it shows. The animation is much smoother than a tipical episode of the tv show. And the songs are great! They're very catchy, and they even got James darren to sing a song! If you're a fan of Yogi Bear or animation I highly recommend this movie.

I had never seen this feature length Yogi Bear cartoon, but it was very good. I think that all fans of Yogi Bear, regardless of their ages, would enjoy it as well. I'll admit that I purchased this film because of the James Darren song that Yogi sang to Cindy Bear in the gondola scene, but the movie on its own was very good. I hope you enjoy it, too.

My wife and I really enjoyed this Yogi Bear Movie. Yogi was his typical troublesome self along with Boo Boo and Cindy Bear. The Park Ranger never stands a chance against the smarter than the average Yogi Bear !
