YOGI BEAR

This upcoming Friday, the apocalypse will reign down upon us in the form of a talking, hungry, CGI'd bear who goes through life stealing food and generally being a dick. For no good reason, Warner Brothers is distributing the Hanna-Barbera cartoon which will bring nightmares joy to children around the holidays. For the parents, the feature length film will be spent lamenting on how they could have better used the $13 entry fee.

Animator Edmund Earle did what we all wish we could in real life: assassinate the thieving mammal with a shotgun blast. I have not seen the actual cinematic abomination--not will I, but if it had more footage like this, I could be tempted.

For those who care, Dan Ackroyd (Canadian Bacon) is playing Yogi, while Justin Timberlake (The Social Network) is his miniature friend Boo-Boo.
