As a child I found Hanna-Barbera cartoons dumb, poorly drawn, and too simple. So I never was a fan of Yogi Bear and his friends.
Yesterday one of my friends show us this movie (he found his old VHS cassettes, and this was one of his favorites). And I must say: it was disturbing and awful.
The story is about Yogi and his friends. They are visiting Evergreen Aviation Museum in Oregon. (And I'm pretty sure, the museum ordered this film, as a commercial.) On the beginning we can see the exterior around the museum (simple photographs, and paints from them), then they sow us the interior of the building, and an interesting blanc&white documentary film about the test flight of Howard Hughes gigantic airplane, the Hughes H-4 Hercules (the Spruce Goose). This is the only good part of the film (+One star for this!).
Then Yogi and his crew accidentally stuck on the plane, and the magic flight begins. The characters are dumber then the usual (or its maybe just me...), some of them are constantly denying the truth, calling it hallucination (why???), and lot of them didn't do anything during the whole time, except telling some unfunny comments. The storyline is full of holes, stuffed with "magic", like the authors cannot come up with better ideas.
I know this is a cartoon for kids, and not for middle-aged men. But for god's sake! I'm not a super intelligent man, I never was. I always liked movies with an understandable, and somehow intelligent story. I'm not against magic, I like fantasy films. But when the writers use magic as filler material, I could brake the TV.
All in all, this film is a soulless commercial for a the Evergreen Aviation Museum and they big attraction, the Spruce Goose. (Anyway I'm sure I could enjoy the museum itself as a child, cos I was a technical-type boy, unfortunately the film don't show any interesting mechanical part of the goose. It could have been +1 star).
