Live Action/CGI Version of… ‘YOGI BEAR’!

Yes! I loved this show as a kid, and I am super stoked to find out about this project being in the works. Thanks to THR we can give you this:

The studio is developing a feature version of “Yogi Bear,” the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon, and “Surf’s Up” co-helmer/co-writer Ash Brannon is attached to direct.

Endeavor-repped Joshua Sternin and Jeffrey Ventimilia, who exec produced “That ’70s Show” and are writing the feature “Tooth Fairy” for Fox, are penning the screenplay. Donald De Line is producing via his De Line Pictures; Karen Rosenfelt is also producing, with Jon Berg overseeing for Warners.

The project, culled from Warners’ vast library, is planned as a live-action/animated hybrid along the lines of Fox’s 2007 hit “Alvin & the Chipmunks.” Much of the movie will be live-action, but Yogi Bear and sidekick Boo Boo will be done in CG.

So the younger generation will get exposed to this, just like they have recently been exposed to ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks’, and ‘TMNT’. This will be badass!
