Perennial fan favorite Yogi Bear is returning to TV screens across the nation on Thursday, June 29, 2021. After an absence of three decades, Yogi Bear, his sidekick Boo Boo, and his ladyfriend, Cindy Bear, willl be starring in Jellystone!, a new animated series on HBOMax. Many other old favorites from Hanna-Barbera’s glory days will be co-starring alonside everyone’s favorite picnic basket thief.
Yogi will be a bit more anthropomorphic than he was in the old days. Instead of foiling the ranger and swiping tourists’ picnic baskets, Yogi will now have a job.
WarnerMedia announced“
“Set in the charming town of the same name, Jellystone! follows an ensemble of Hanna-Barbera characters as they live, work, play, and (as is often the case), destroy the town in some silly way together. Huckleberry Hound proudly serves as the town’s mayor; Cindy, Boo Boo, and Yogi are the town’s medical staff; Jabberjaw works at Magilla’s clothing store where they supply all the bow ties and hats to the town’s citizens; and every character has a specific role in the community. Their paths cross in fun and ridiculous ways, turning everyday activities into hilarious pandemonium.”
And here it is, in all its toonish mayhem: the official HBO Max trailer. I don’t think there’s a single Hanna Barbera character missing from the lineup.
Noted animation writer/producer/director C. H. Greenblatt (Chowder, Fish Hooks, Harvey Beaks, Deadman) will be showrunner and executive producer of Jellystone! He will also be providing the voices for Doggie Daddy, Boo Boo, Peter Potamus, and Benny.
It’s absolutely an all-star international cast. C. H. Greenblatt worked with Warner Brothers Animation Studio to bring Yogi Bear and his friends to HBOMax.
Are you looking forward to Jellystone! ? Or is it too different from how Yogi Bear used to be for your taste? It debuts on June 29, 2021. Will you be watching?
