I still love that 'Yogi Bear Stone' stole a picnic basket from The Flintstone family and happens to be a favorite of Pebbles and Bam Bam! Such a classic!
@@cockerspanielfan56 The episode "Swedish Visitors." that was actually season 3 but literally the last episode made for that season. But yeah. It's always such a treat to see crossovers. They even played his theme music as the bg cue.
When most people think of classic Hanna-Barbara cartoons they think of the Flintstones or even Scooby Doo now, but it can't be understated how important the Huckleberry Hound show was and how big Yogi was to the studio's success moving forward. Without Yogi I don't know if they would have continued to create iconic characters for TV. Great work as always Dave!
I remember being introduced to Yogi by my dad through the 2010 movie, and loving it. Then, I'd watch the old cartoons on RUclips and make my mom laugh with my Boo-Boo impression. That bear was one of many highlights of my childhood.
It’s honestly a trip how Yogi Bear started the idea of theatrical animated movies based on television shows. If it weren’t for Yogi we wouldn’t have The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, The Simpsons Movie, The Powerpuff Girls Movie, A Goofy Movie, The Chipmunk Adventure, Teen Titans Go: To The Movies, South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, Ducktales: The Movie - Treasure of the Lost Lamp, My Little Pony: The Movie, Paw Patrol: The Movie, Clifford’s Really Big Movie, Recess: School’s Out, Teacher’s Pet: The Movie, and Bob’s Burgers: The Movie. It’s quite fascinating now that I realize what it started.
Can we see Huckleberry Hound in the next Cartoon Evolution video please? In my opinion, I think he’s the reason WHY Yogi Bear got his big start as a popular character and why Hanna-Barbera Studios became a big name in the animation business!
A neat bit of trivia not brought up in the video is that Yogi Bear also starred in a commercial for Spain about Asturias, showing Yogi going around natural landscapes of the place and talking about his experience through phone with the park ranger.
Not gonna lie, I love Humphrey Bear, Barney Bear and Yogi Bear! Never realized how much they enjoyed Parks and Picnic baskets! Funny enough, Mayor Quimby takes a que from them too!
They totally should've starred Ranger Smith (the self-appointed rule-lover) with Yogi there for comedy relief and doing things the "wrong" way, with Ranger Smith then showing kids the right/safe way. That'd make way more sense at least!
One strange bit of Yogi history I'd also like to mention is the Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera ride at Universal Studios. It was a motion sim ride like Star Tours at Disney, but with HB worlds and characters. Yogi pilots your ship, and you're chasing after Dick Dastardly who just kidnapped Elroy Jetson. Only rode the ride once, but I have a lot of nostalgia for it.
I saw a video of it and it's very cool even though I wasn't born to experience that, I liked how the characters had the same quality that was seen in The Jetsons: The Movie, I mean with shadows and fluid movements.
As much as I love the original shorts and all, my favorite versions of the character were in Treasure Hunt and Jellystone. Treasure Hunt is an underrated series with a lot of pre-Animaniacs writing staff, and you could tell. It was certainly a hipper, fresher, and funnier version of the characters than Yo Yogi ever tried to be. All it took for that series to work while Yo Yogi failed was updating the writing and humor and keeping the characters their classic selves. Actually, I'd say a lot of 80's H-B was underrated, and some of their weirdest, wildest shows were in that era. As for Jellystone, there's something about the series that couldn't and shouldn't work, but does and beautifully. If any Yogi stuff seriously cracked me up, it's those two shows and the Easter Bunny movie. Well, if you include unintentionally, also Galaxy Goof Ups. That's a freaking fever dream.
What I wouldn’t give for a high-quality BluRay release of Hey There its Yogi Bear. It’s a real shame that such a beautiful movie is trapped in blurry SD. For me, that film represents a best case scenario for taking a UPA-style limited animation series to the big screen. So many of the production limitations are gone, but it still respects the characters and never pushes them too far beyond the style they were designed for. The result is character animation that really sings, with some truly lavish and stylised backgrounds.
I love 65 years of yogi and I love the first movie "hey there it's yogi bear" and the series yogi's gang with yogi's space race are just great and yogi's live-action movie is funny and fantastic so thank you dave! 👍🐻❤😃🎉
I loved The Galaxy Goof-Ups segment of Yogi's Space Race, and Yogi's Treasure Hunt. The Yogi Yahooies we're my second favorite Laff-A-Lympics team after the Scooby Doobies!
31:15, Still neat seeing Yogi Bear, The Jetsons, Frankenstein Jr. & Buzz Conroy and the other Hanna-Barbera characters appear as cameos in Space Jam 2: A New Legacy (still like that film no matter what).
The Yogi of the 1950s and early 60s is my favorite. H-B/Screen Gems cartons are my forever favorites, period. There are so many phenomenal H-B characters that I'm crazy about, but Yogi tops 'em all. I'll watch him in shorts and series that I saw as a kid and laugh my ass off just like I did then. Yogi's a uniquely appealing character you just can't get enough of. ❣❣❣❣👏👏
Not bad doing this evolution video for Yogi Bear that I remember from my childhood; especially the ones that kinda scares me like with the Grim Adventures episode where Billy getting away from Yogi’s ferocious side. Also I watch the live action movie of Yogi Bear as well and it was fine; just not too crazy for as much of recent live action films with cartoon characters I’m aware of. At least Sonic the Hedgehog was good too.
The classic cartoons of Yogi and his pal Boo Boo with Ranger Smith and sometimes Cindy will always be my favorites but I did enjoy the 80's Yogi Bear Show that had the newer ones. My favorite Yogi media will always be "Hey There, It's Yogi Bear" theatrical movie. I still remember seeing for the first time either on TV back in the day and later on when it aired on Cartoon Network's Cartoon Theater. I wished I still had the recording of it. I also went to the Theaters when the live action CGI hybrid came out and enjoyed it every bit of it. Just like David said it stayed true to the original story lines of the 60's show. I thought Dan and Justin did a great job in doing their voices. To me I at first didn't know till reading a review later on that it was Dan Akyryod and Justin Timberlake. I had thought I read there was going to be a squeal but I guess it didn't do too good. I would love to see a live action hybrid Yogi's Ark or Yogi's Space Race or Galaxy Goof-Ups or even a reboot with new animation or an animated Yogi Bear movie. Either way I love me some Yogi and friends. Again David you are always top notch when doing these videos and I enjoy them all. Thanks again and can't wait for more to come.
Fascinating to watch this character track the media trends in each decade. Earnest and moralistic in the '80s, "cool" in the '90s, over-the-top edgy and gross in the 2000s, dark and realistic in the 2010s, bright and stylized today.
I love these videos, Dave! I know there's a process to who you select for your characters, but I'm really hoping to see ones for Tigger, Garfield, the Cat in the Hat, Wonder Woman, Captain America, and Shrek. Thank you and keep up the great work!
My Favorite appearance of The Smarter than average itself which was his original 1960s and 1980s..because that is where I grew up becoming a big fan of not just Yogi but..the whole Hanna-Barbera universe. Including Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones and others
Thanks dave and I love the evolution of yogi bear and I love the first movie "hey there it's yogi bear" and yogi's space race, yogi's gang are my favorite series with the live-action yogi bear movie being so funny and wonderful so I hope that you'll do a blu-ray dvd review of sonic the hedgehog 2 dave! 🐻✌😍❤
Thank you so much for this video! I have a presentation on this cartoon character and this video really helped me understand Yogi soo much better! The content and visuals are so much more in quantity when we compare to other sites on the internet! Great job! 🎉🎉
Thank you so much for saying! Not weird at all - my aim is to always provide a little fun, a little education, and a little distraction! Always happy to put a smile on someone’s face. 🙏🏻
"A yogi is a person who has spent many years practicing the philosophy of yoga, and is considered to have reached an advanced spiritual state." A famous bear with a India name he inhabits the notorious Yellowstone "Jellystone" national park... which is actually one of the most destructive volcanoes in the entire world. Ancient YOGI undoubtedly inspired the incredible Disney epic Gummi Bears and Boo Boo is clearly the forerunner of KIT Cloudkicker in TaleSpin.
I’d love to see Warner Animation Group produce a fully-animated Yogi Bear movie titled “Yogi Bear” (not to be confused with the live-action/animation hybrid movie of the same name) in which Yogi and Boo-Boo get shipped to the San Diego Zoo after one of Yogi’s shenanigans goes wrong and the two along must escape back into the wilds of Jellystone National Park along with other animal characters that need escaping such as Wally Gator, Magilla Gorilla who must rightfully belong in the wilds of Africa, and a few other animal characters! The movie might be the Madagascar of a new generation!
The only "Yogi Bear" installment I owned was the 90s Easter special, although I did see several other productions over the years. I've watched a few classic shorts, some of the crossover specials, his appearance in "The Good, the Bad and the Huckleberry Hound," the Aladdin segment in "Scooby Doo and the Arabian Knights," cameos in various other shows, and several episodes of "Jellystone." Speaking of "Arabian Nights," the fact that both Yogi and Boo-Boo play the genie role is pretty clever since the original Aladdin story featured two genies (one in a lamp and the other in a ring).
A pretty good history on Yogi Bear. Also I do have to agree on the 2000s of Yogi because they're kind of weird 27:46 and I do have to agree on that one quote that Yogi bear, Ranger Smith and Boo Boo are literally in a straight line and just spanking each other and I was like, that is very unnecessary!
Almost forgot about that Christmas movie. I remember watching it a few times via the 1990s Cartoon Network, but barely remember the climax or why it looked like Yogi got arrested. Oh, and that weird late 1990s reimagining.
@@rodneyda96 One Turner owned Hanna Barbera prior to Warner Brothers and two technically Warner has the distribution rights to the film including home video. So it probably aired there before the Warner and Turner merger.
Kinda funny, Yogi Bear and the Pink Panther were created due to similar circumstances. Explanation: Just like MGM did, Warner Bros. came to the same money-saving conclusion, "We have enough cartoon shorts made already, we don't need to pay for anymore. We'll just re-run what we have and close down our animation studio." So, now all of Warner Bros. animation personnel were out of a job. (Incidentally, renowned Warner Bros. animation director, Chuck Jones, would end up at Hannah-Barbara.) Two (other) former Warner animation employees, Friz Freleng and David DePatie would also form their own animation studio: "DePatie-Freleng Studios." This would be the studio that would create the "Pink Panther," originally for the purpose of an animated opening title sequence for the live action film, "The Pink Panther" (starring Peter Sellers.) The character was so popular in the sequence, DePatie-Freleng Studios decided to make a series of shorts starring the cartoon panther. By the way, DePatie-Freleng Studios technically still exists today, only it has a new name (given to the studio by the company that bought the studio from DePatie and Freleng) that company being Marvel Entertainment, (the studio now integrated into the combined "Marvel Studios," which is now technically owned by Disney, so, yeah, cartoon go around is a funny thing in of itself.) Fyi, Marvel acquiring the studio came about due to DePatie-Freleng Studios being the animation studio hired to create the first Spider-Man animated series, "The Amazing Spider-Man" as well as follow-up series, "Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends."
Ok, ok, hear me out, I dozed off when I was watching this and I immediately threw my phone at 15:15 because there are so many characters at that scene! Btw, I love the Yogi’s Ark Lark movie. 😊
Also thank you so much for these videos, Dave! As a huge cartoon lover, I love seeing the history of how a famous or obscure characters came to be! I and really love how you put lots of research and time into these! Continue your thing, David! I'll support you through the future!
One other Yogi thing I don’t believe was mentioned here was from 1990 to 1993 Nickelodeon's Most Wanted: Yogi Bear aired on Nickelodeon. Yogi Bear cartoons (which by then, along with the rest of H-B's catalog, had been acquired by Turner Entertainment Co.) moved to Cartoon Network. The Yogi’s cartoons on Nickelodeon would be a mix of Yogi cartoons from The Huckleberry Hound Show and The Yogi Bear Show, and the last two were newer shorts made for The New Yogi Bear Show. In addition, some episodes were half-hour episodes of Yogi's Gang, Yogi's Space Race, Galaxy Goof-Ups and Yogi's Tresure Hunt. (From wikipedia.) Another interesting thing about the Yo Yogi! Series, featured episodes, or parts of episodes, in 3D, with Kellogg's Rice Krispies offering 3D glasses. Generally, the 3D scenes were chase scenes of the variety made famous by Hanna-Barbera in the Scooby-Doo series. At the beginning of these 3D sequences, Yogi would spin his hat atop his head, as a cue to viewers to don their 3D glasses.
Whose smarter than the average bear? 🎶Yogi Bear is smarter than the average bear, Yogi Bear is always in the ranger's hair. At a picnic table you will find him there Stuffing down more goodies than the average bear. He will sleep till noon but before it's dark, He'll have every picnic basket that's in Jellystone Park. Yogi has it better than a millionaire That's because he's smarter than the average bear!🎶
The best Yogi's are the originals from both Huckleberry Hound and in Yogi's won spinoff series. I didn't discover those until I was a preteen. The first version of Yogi that I ever sawm was Yogi's Gang in 1973 when I was 6, I was too young to know at the time that it was NOT the original. When I finally saw the original TV shorts I realized they were much better.
Great history of Yogi. I wasn't born till the 60s and only got to see most of the classic early stuff as part of repackaged series. The endless variations of Wacky Races didn't float my boat much as a kid. My favorite Yogi is when he appeared in a comic book called "Yogi Bear Visits the United Nations" which was likely a propaganda attempt to get more US folks on board with the UN (I understand it was controversial in the 50s) but nowadays looks like a giant WTF
My favorite Yogi Bear cartoon was Yogis Ark Lark which was one of the cartoons on the old Saturday Superstar Movie which was featured on ABC in the fall of 1972. What I liked was the collaboration of the early Hanna Barbera characters like how Yogi Huck Hound Quick Draw Mc Graw Snagglepuss came in contact with the newer characters like Magilla Gorilla, Peter Potamas Atom Ant and Secret Squirrel.
In addition to Art Carney/Norton, I always thought there was some Phil Silvers/Sgt. Bilko (a Hanna-Barbera favorite in pop culture) in Yogi's personality. It showed even more in the lead bear in "The Hair Bear Bunch" - another possible character influenced by Yogi Bear, but in hippie garb.
Dave Lee Down Under, I’m surprised you didn’t mention the fact that in 2012, the announcement of a sequel to “Yogi Bear” came about with Jay Chandrasekhar chosen to direct. Although, after 10 years since after the announcement of the “Yogi Bear” sequel, we never got any updates this whole time, ultimately leading to its cancellation. And you know what? I can understand why it was cancelled: 1. Rhythm and Hues Studios, the company behind the animation of the CGI hybrid models of Yogi Bear, Boo-Boo and the frog-mouth turtle, was closed down on November 1, 2020 due to various factors and pressure caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic. 2. I gues that ever since Yogi’s first feature length live-action hybrid movie was a moderate box office success, the sequel never came to be because of how much criticism the film drew attention to. 3. Maybe since after “Yogi Bear” was released in theatres, Warner Bros. or Jay Chandrasekhar are probably not even interested the development of a sequel anymore.
Not sure what you mean by "no one" when I made and narrated this video alone. This was not a video about the evolution of Boo-Boo or Cindy or Ranger Smith... it was a video about the Evolution of Yogi Bear.
Hey Dave, do you think you could do an evolution on the smurfs sometime? I grew up watching Boomerang as a kid, and I watched a lot of classics like the flintstones and yogi bear, and the smurfs were also one of my favorites. So when do you think you could do one on them?
Fun fact, back in 1987, Yogi Bear and Boo Boo guest starred at a few Showbiz Pizza Place locations with Daws Butler and Don Messick providing the voice for Yogi Bear and Boo Boo in the showtape.
I remember Arsenio Hall mocking Yo! Yogi in the monologue of his talk show. I think there was a Yo Yogi episode that was in 3D, as there was some cereal promotion that included 3D glasses with them.
I still love that 'Yogi Bear Stone' stole a picnic basket from The Flintstone family and happens to be a favorite of Pebbles and Bam Bam! Such a classic!
Oh yes yes, he made a short cameo somewhere in season 4. And that was the episode where they took a family trip to the woods
@@cockerspanielfan56 The episode "Swedish Visitors." that was actually season 3 but literally the last episode made for that season. But yeah. It's always such a treat to see crossovers. They even played his theme music as the bg cue.
Yes that's my favorite part of the episode! Shame that in some TBS and WGN reruns I saw growing up that scene often got cut.
When most people think of classic Hanna-Barbara cartoons they think of the Flintstones or even Scooby Doo now, but it can't be understated how important the Huckleberry Hound show was and how big Yogi was to the studio's success moving forward. Without Yogi I don't know if they would have continued to create iconic characters for TV. Great work as always Dave!
I know. Scooby's getting so much attention now it's ridiculous! Yogi set the pace for all of them!
@@Koolazzmike you make that sound like a bad thing
@@poogoceoofrandom1295 no, it's not a bad thing. I just think they're over doing it with Scooby.
I remember being introduced to Yogi by my dad through the 2010 movie, and loving it. Then, I'd watch the old cartoons on RUclips and make my mom laugh with my Boo-Boo impression. That bear was one of many highlights of my childhood.
Haha, that's pretty heartwarming, man. Sounds like a great childhood
Was there a road runner short
Love your story. Nice to hear positive stories. 😊

It’s quite fascinating now that I realize what it started.
Yogi has a lot to answer for, then.
Can we see Huckleberry Hound in the next Cartoon Evolution video please?
In my opinion, I think he’s the reason WHY Yogi Bear got his big start as a popular character and why Hanna-Barbera Studios became a big name in the animation business!
I say wait a bit between Huck and Yogi because their histories are so similar, it's not even funny.
I grew up with these classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons back in the 60s.
I’m still glad you’re still doing the evolution of these old school characters from Cartoon Network Hanna-Barbera
A neat bit of trivia not brought up in the video is that Yogi Bear also starred in a commercial for Spain about Asturias, showing Yogi going around natural landscapes of the place and talking about his experience through phone with the park ranger.
Not gonna lie, I love Humphrey Bear, Barney Bear and Yogi Bear! Never realized how much they enjoyed Parks and Picnic baskets! Funny enough, Mayor Quimby takes a que from them too!
So do I.
Film strips in which Yogi demonstrates safety, citizenship and rule-making. The things Yogi is best known for.
They totally should've starred Ranger Smith (the self-appointed rule-lover) with Yogi there for comedy relief and doing things the "wrong" way, with Ranger Smith then showing kids the right/safe way. That'd make way more sense at least!

I love 65 years of yogi and I love the first movie "hey there it's yogi bear" and the series yogi's gang with yogi's space race are just great and yogi's live-action movie is funny and fantastic so thank you dave! 👍🐻❤😃🎉
Thank You Dave😁 Made my Monkey Morning 🐒 My personal favorites are the Original & "Yogi Bear & Friends"🐻
Edit: The Spruce Goose Movie too!
Are we going to get a cartoon evolution on “ Rocky & Bullwinkle” ? I just think that’d be a swell idea 💡
Yes! And Boris and Natasha too.
Dave, you're a fountain of cartoon knowledge! I love it!
I loved The Galaxy Goof-Ups segment of Yogi's Space Race, and Yogi's Treasure Hunt.
The Yogi Yahooies we're my second favorite Laff-A-Lympics team after the Scooby Doobies!
The Scooby-Doobies Team is also my favorite team, too.
Yogi Bear is still smarter than the average Bear for 65 years. Thanks for making this Video.
31:15, Still neat seeing Yogi Bear, The Jetsons, Frankenstein Jr. & Buzz Conroy and the other Hanna-Barbera characters appear as cameos in Space Jam 2: A New Legacy (still like that film no matter what).

The thumbnail feels like those cereal mascots whose design changes until the final version looks like a simple dumbed down version of the original.

Just amazing! Yogi bear is awesome!!!
Very much my favorite Hannah Barbera character
🤟🏻🤩🤟🏻Yogi Bear is a awesome Hannah-Bearera show, I also love the show Top Cat. I’m really excited when Hannah-Bearera come’s back in October 2022!
Thanks for the History of Yogi, how about covering the history of the Laff A lympics? there's a lot of interesting history in that cartoon
Hey, hey, hey!
Yogi Bear is still one of my favorite Hanna -Barbera characters!

I like this character.
Great video, keep it up! 💯👍
For me, Yogi is the best Hanna Barbera's Character
I loved the live action Yogi Bear film
My Favorite appearance of The Smarter than average itself which was his original 1960s and 1980s..because that is where I grew up becoming a big fan of not just Yogi but..the whole Hanna-Barbera universe. Including Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones and others
Thanks dave and I love the evolution of yogi bear and I love the first movie "hey there it's yogi bear" and yogi's space race, yogi's gang are my favorite series with the live-action yogi bear movie being so funny and wonderful so I hope that you'll do a blu-ray dvd review of sonic the hedgehog 2 dave! 🐻✌😍❤
Thank you so much for this video! I have a presentation on this cartoon character and this video really helped me understand Yogi soo much better! The content and visuals are so much more in quantity when we compare to other sites on the internet! Great job! 🎉🎉
This whole video was worth it to see the Billy & Mandy cameos being mentioned
How could you not mention the Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law episode? That had to be one of their best cameos 😂
Thank you for these videos.....s weird as this is to say they helped me through a massive toothache. They were an excellent thing to shift my focus
Thank you so much for saying! Not weird at all - my aim is to always provide a little fun, a little education, and a little distraction! Always happy to put a smile on someone’s face. 🙏🏻
I love all the weird scenarios they've put this character in
"A yogi is a person who has spent many years practicing the philosophy of yoga, and is considered to have reached an advanced spiritual state."

The movie might be the Madagascar of a new generation!
Howdy Dave How about a alvin chipmunk evolution??
My favorite Yogi Bear appearance has to be the live action CGI movie with the recent Jellystone series coming in second
29:58 for some reason I find these bears looks better than the Garfield movie that was live action. Like the fur looks better.
The only "Yogi Bear" installment I owned was the 90s Easter special, although I did see several other productions over the years. I've watched a few classic shorts, some of the crossover specials, his appearance in "The Good, the Bad and the Huckleberry Hound," the Aladdin segment in "Scooby Doo and the Arabian Knights," cameos in various other shows, and several episodes of "Jellystone."
Speaking of "Arabian Nights," the fact that both Yogi and Boo-Boo play the genie role is pretty clever since the original Aladdin story featured two genies (one in a lamp and the other in a ring).
This video goes great with my pic-a-nic basket!!!!!
Glad to see Yogi making a comeback. He deserves his flowers just as much as Scooby and Fred Flintstone.
Cool. yogi is my favorite Character on Hanna Barbera 🤩

Fun Fact: here in Brazil, Yogi's name is "Zé Colméia" or in literally english "Zé Hive"
Pernalonga não tem nada haver com Bugs Bunny
@@shadowvictor7590 e não é?? Sempre quis saber o PORQUÊ desse nome
O termo em inglês para "Zé" é "Joe". Então seria "Joe Hive".
@@bluestar5812 nossa!!! Bem diferente
Wow. What a surprise to me! Good Work Dave!
I didn’t know much of this so thanks for letting us all know
Yaki Doodle Duck: A Doctor would never hurt a kid!
Yogi: I'm off Duty!
*SLAM!!!*
Amazing!
Still can't believe 'Hey There Yogi Bear' was shown on Disney Channel...many times!
I never knew that. Plus, this might have been long before Warner Bros. acquired Hanna-Barbera.
Never mind. I believe Sony owns the movie.
@@rodneyda96 One Turner owned Hanna Barbera prior to Warner Brothers and two technically Warner has the distribution rights to the film including home video. So it probably aired there before the Warner and Turner merger.
@@stephenholloway6893 Oh, okay.
Kinda funny, Yogi Bear and the Pink Panther were created due to similar circumstances. Explanation: Just like MGM did, Warner Bros. came to the same money-saving conclusion, "We have enough cartoon shorts made already, we don't need to pay for anymore. We'll just re-run what we have and close down our animation studio." So, now all of Warner Bros. animation personnel were out of a job. (Incidentally, renowned Warner Bros. animation director, Chuck Jones, would end up at Hannah-Barbara.)
Two (other) former Warner animation employees, Friz Freleng and David DePatie would also form their own animation studio: "DePatie-Freleng Studios." This would be the studio that would create the "Pink Panther," originally for the purpose of an animated opening title sequence for the live action film, "The Pink Panther" (starring Peter Sellers.) The character was so popular in the sequence, DePatie-Freleng Studios decided to make a series of shorts starring the cartoon panther.
By the way, DePatie-Freleng Studios technically still exists today, only it has a new name (given to the studio by the company that bought the studio from DePatie and Freleng) that company being Marvel Entertainment, (the studio now integrated into the combined "Marvel Studios," which is now technically owned by Disney, so, yeah, cartoon go around is a funny thing in of itself.)
Fyi, Marvel acquiring the studio came about due to DePatie-Freleng Studios being the animation studio hired to create the first Spider-Man animated series, "The Amazing Spider-Man" as well as follow-up series, "Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends."
To be fair YogiBear is the main mascot of Hanna-barbera before Fred Flintstones?
Yogi, Fred and Scooby
Ok, ok, hear me out, I dozed off when I was watching this and I immediately threw my phone at 15:15 because there are so many characters at that scene! Btw, I love the Yogi’s Ark Lark movie. 😊
Great Job, Dave! Could you do Garfield or Josie and the Pussycats next?
Also thank you so much for these videos, Dave! As a huge cartoon lover, I love seeing the history of how a famous or obscure characters came to be! I and really love how you put lots of research and time into these! Continue your thing, David! I'll support you through the future!
The fan favourite with the anti hero like bear.
Yogi's treasute hunt's intro is forever stuck in my brain from how catchy it is:
"FANTASTIC (NANANANANANA), FANTASTIC"
One other Yogi thing I don’t believe was mentioned here was from 1990 to 1993 Nickelodeon's Most Wanted: Yogi Bear aired on Nickelodeon. Yogi Bear cartoons (which by then, along with the rest of H-B's catalog, had been acquired by Turner Entertainment Co.) moved to Cartoon Network. The Yogi’s cartoons on Nickelodeon would be a mix of Yogi cartoons from The Huckleberry Hound Show and The Yogi Bear Show, and the last two were newer shorts made for The New Yogi Bear Show. In addition, some episodes were half-hour episodes of Yogi's Gang, Yogi's Space Race, Galaxy Goof-Ups and Yogi's Tresure Hunt. (From wikipedia.)
Another interesting thing about the Yo Yogi! Series, featured episodes, or parts of episodes, in 3D, with Kellogg's Rice Krispies offering 3D glasses. Generally, the 3D scenes were chase scenes of the variety made famous by Hanna-Barbera in the Scooby-Doo series. At the beginning of these 3D sequences, Yogi would spin his hat atop his head, as a cue to viewers to don their 3D glasses.
Don't forget Yogi's and Boo Boo's legendary performances in Harvey Birdman - Attorney at Law.
Whose smarter than the average bear?
🎶Yogi Bear is smarter than the average bear, Yogi Bear is always in the ranger's hair.
At a picnic table you will find him there
Stuffing down more goodies than the average bear.
He will sleep till noon but before it's dark,
He'll have every picnic basket that's in Jellystone Park.
Yogi has it better than a millionaire
That's because he's smarter than the average bear!🎶
The best Yogi's are the originals from both Huckleberry Hound and in Yogi's won spinoff series. I didn't discover those until I was a preteen. The first version of Yogi that I ever sawm was Yogi's Gang in 1973 when I was 6, I was too young to know at the time that it was NOT the original. When I finally saw the original TV shorts I realized they were much better.
Great history of Yogi. I wasn't born till the 60s and only got to see most of the classic early stuff as part of repackaged series. The endless variations of Wacky Races didn't float my boat much as a kid. My favorite Yogi is when he appeared in a comic book called "Yogi Bear Visits the United Nations" which was likely a propaganda attempt to get more US folks on board with the UN (I understand it was controversial in the 50s) but nowadays looks like a giant WTF
How many crossovers do you have?
Yogi:yes
16:39, I still own 3 DVD Releases of Laff-a-Lympics and one VHS Copy that only has 2 episodes in it.
i loved the live action Yogi Bear movie.
I had a Jellystone park near my town a long time ago in Canada. I've gone camping there a few times during my childhood!
My favorite Yogi Bear cartoon was Yogis Ark Lark which was one of the cartoons on the old Saturday Superstar Movie which was featured on ABC in the fall of 1972. What I liked was the collaboration of the early Hanna Barbera characters like how Yogi Huck Hound Quick Draw Mc Graw Snagglepuss came in contact with the newer characters like Magilla Gorilla, Peter Potamas Atom Ant and Secret Squirrel.
In addition to Art Carney/Norton, I always thought there was some Phil Silvers/Sgt. Bilko (a Hanna-Barbera favorite in pop culture) in Yogi's personality. It showed even more in the lead bear in "The Hair Bear Bunch" - another possible character influenced by Yogi Bear, but in hippie garb.
You’re right, and the Phil Silvers influence was clearly seen also in Hokey Wolf and a few years later in Top Cat. But as we all know Yogi was first.
You should do more Hanna-Barbera Character evolution videos.
I love that "Yogi Gang", the show that tried to crush bigotry starred a stereotype villain "greedy genie"!
That was the 1970s for you
Seriously that’s the 1970s for you
Yogi was also in the Kellogg's OKs cereal in the 60s.
Dave Lee Down Under, I’m surprised you didn’t mention the fact that in 2012, the announcement of a sequel to “Yogi Bear” came about with Jay Chandrasekhar chosen to direct. Although, after 10 years since after the announcement of the “Yogi Bear” sequel, we never got any updates this whole time, ultimately leading to its cancellation.
And you know what? I can understand why it was cancelled:
1. Rhythm and Hues Studios, the company behind the animation of the CGI hybrid models of Yogi Bear, Boo-Boo and the frog-mouth turtle, was closed down on November 1, 2020 due to various factors and pressure caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic.
2. I gues that ever since Yogi’s first feature length live-action hybrid movie was a moderate box office success, the sequel never came to be because of how much criticism the film drew attention to.
3. Maybe since after “Yogi Bear” was released in theatres, Warner Bros. or Jay Chandrasekhar are probably not even interested the development of a sequel anymore.
i’m surprised no one mentioned the changes to boo+boo’s head/cindy’s fur/everything about ranger smith
Not sure what you mean by "no one" when I made and narrated this video alone. This was not a video about the evolution of Boo-Boo or Cindy or Ranger Smith... it was a video about the Evolution of Yogi Bear.
touché
I'm still waiting for you to do one on Underdog.
I loved Underdog more than any other cartoon except Road Runner when I was a pre-K. Would definitely be up for an Underdog show.
I hope one day you’ll make Wallace and gromit cartoon evolution
I recently started reading Yogi Bear, and Pixie and Dixie and Mr Jinks comics.
Hey Dave, do you think you could do an evolution on the smurfs sometime? I grew up watching Boomerang as a kid, and I watched a lot of classics like the flintstones and yogi bear, and the smurfs were also one of my favorites. So when do you think you could do one on them?
Another classic cartoon character in the Hanna-Barbera Cinematic Universe (still calling it that thanks to SCOOB! 2 years ago)!!!
That's right,Dex!
@@nicholasmalone5943 You know I recently changed my username alittle, right?
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 ok,Rowdy!
@@nicholasmalone5943 Sorry that you didn't know that
Cringe
Actually Yogi had two cameos in a Pup named Scooby Doo. Infact it was two episodes after the clip you showed from that show.
I was literally thinking of this like a month ago.
I love your videos
Fun fact, back in 1987, Yogi Bear and Boo Boo guest starred at a few Showbiz Pizza Place locations with Daws Butler and Don Messick providing the voice for Yogi Bear and Boo Boo in the showtape.
0:11 Hey Bear, Beat it! Get lost!
Cartoon evolution HUCKLEBERRY HOUND 🐕 AND TOP 🐈
I remember Arsenio Hall mocking Yo! Yogi in the monologue of his talk show. I think there was a Yo Yogi episode that was in 3D, as there was some cereal promotion that included 3D glasses with them.
