Synopsis: Yogi Bear and his pal Boo Boo live in Jellystone Park, where they constantly sneak behind the back of Ranger Smith to steal picnic baskets from unsuspecting vacationers. Yogi made his debut in 1958, as part of "The Huckleberry Hound Show." The character proved so popular, he was given his own show in 1960, also sponsored by Kellogg's Cereals. In addition to Yogi, the show featured separate cartoons with the new characters Snagglepuss and Yakky Doodle. Through 1962, 70 Yogi Bear cartoons were produced, all of them featuring Daws Butler as the voice of Yogi, and Don Messick as Boo Boo. In this Christmas Special, Yogiescapes from Jellystone and hides out in a department store - posing as the Store's Santa. Along the way, he helps a little girl to rediscover her faith in Christmas.
My Review: This DVD brought back a flood of Saturday morning cartoon memories for me... watching Yogi, Boo Boo and their friends getting into and out of scrapes is classis! It was great to be able to introduce Robyn and Liam to their antics and the infamous Pic-in-ic basket was great. I also like that the second episode on the DVD is not seasonal, so I can keep the DVD out all year round without feeling the least bit guilty. Yogi Bear is just one of those cartoons that you should have in your DVD repitoire...
