A little bit of my soul died at that moment. It's not because I don't like Yogi Bear; I do. He's probably my favorite of the whole Hanna-Barbera character lineup. What kills me is Justin Timberlake as Boo-Boo.
Justin. Timberlake. "Boo-Boo."
If you ever asked me what three words I would never see on a movie poster, those would have been at the top of my list. This is such a gimmicky move, designed to get kids who've never even heard of Yogi Bear into the theaters. And yeah, I know that's the point, but it still irks me. It makes me want to go on a lengthy tirade about how "face actors" are taking away roles from equally talented actors who specialize in cartoon voice acting. Not to mention, a extensive spiel about the state of the animation industry in general. But that's for another time.
