Yogi Bear 3D – Not sure I want what is in that picnic basket

Posted on 07. Nov, 2009 by The James in Movie Releases, Movie Reviews

It looks like principal photography is about to begin on the Yogi Bear 3D film according to Marketsaw.  Well, I’m glad it is in 3D.  But unfortunately, even with 3D, Hollywood will still continue to make questionable production choices.  I’m not trying to look down my nose at anyone involved, in fact, it looks like a great cast, which includes Justin Timberlake.  Timberlake has really stepped up and become a notable actor over the last few years with his SNL appearances and performance in Alpha Dog.  But Yogi Bear as a live action CG hybrid just doesn’t do it for me.  Hollywood is tinkering with a classic.  But I’ll keep an open mind in December 2010, which is the estimated release date.
