See The New YOGI BEAR Trailer & Poster

I kid you not. From YAHOO! Movies comes this first teaser trailer for “everyone’s favorite pic-a-nic basket-stealing bear YOGI BEAR, a live-action/CG animated adventure in 3D to be unleashed December 2010.”

Synopsis:

Jellystone Park has been losing business, so Mayor Brown has decided to shut it down and sell the land. That means families will no longer be able to experience the natural beauty of the outdoors and, even worse, Yogi and his pal Boo Boo will be tossed out of the only home they’ve ever known. Faced with his biggest challenge ever, Yogi must prove that he really is “smarter than the average bear,” as he and Boo Boo join forces with Ranger Smith to find a way to save the park from closing forever.

From the press release:

This new adaptation of Hanna-Barbera’s classic cartoon will star Academy Award nominee Dan Aykroyd (Driving Miss Daisy) as the voice of Jellystone Park’s most famous troublemaker, Yogi Bear. Two-time Emmy Award winner (Saturday Night Live) and six-time Grammy Award winner Justin Timberlake, previously starring as Artie in Shrek the Third, will star as the voice of Boo Boo, Yogi’s faithful pal and co-conspirator in his tireless schemes to separate Jellystone Park patrons from their lunches.

The film’s live-action cast also includes Anna Faris (Observe and Report) as nature documentary filmmaker Rachel Johnson, and Tom Cavanagh (NBC’s Ed, How to Eat Fried Worms) as Yogi’s amiable nemesis Ranger Smith. TJ Miller (Cloverfield) stars as Smith’s diligent deputy, Ranger Jones, and Andrew Daly (The Informant!) as the conniving Mayor Brown.

YOGI BEAR was filmed on location in New Zealand, in the Auckland area and around the Whakamaru Reserve on the North Island’s Central Plateau between Rotorua and Taupo.

Directed by Eric Brevig ( JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH) and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, YOGI BEAR will be released on December 17, 2010.
