It looks like Yogi and Boo-Boo are going to be introduced to a new generation. They're getting the big screen treatment in a combination of live-action and CGI, a la Alvin and the Chipmunks or The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle. Unlike the aforementioned, one can only hope that a decent script will be done before anything is committed to the screen. However, being that I have no faith in Hollywood, I doubt it.As a matter of fact, when I think of Hanna Barbera properties on the big screen, I automatically think of the 1994 movie version of The Flintstones. Then I shudder. The script will probably be cliché and have very little in common with the original cartoon, and the new generation will lap it up like milk. It's another pleasant childhood memory flushed down the toilet in the name of the almighty dollar.
Enough of my rant. My big question is: who will be playing Ranger Smith?
