Yogi and Boo-Boo Bear

Welcome to the Hanna-Barbera Page. Here are the first two characters I will tell you about.

Yogi Bear is a family cartoon character, created by Hanna-Barbera Productions, who has appeared in numerous comic books, animated television shows and films. He is an anthropomorphic brown bear in a green and black hat and a green tie. In January 1961, he was given his own show, The Yogi Bear Show, which included the segments of Snagglepuss and Yakky Doodle. Yogi, accompanied by his constant companion Boo-Boo Bear, would often try to steal the picnic baskets ( often said, "pic-a-nic baskets") from campers in Jellystone Park, much to the displeasure of Park Ranger Smith. Yogi's favorite self-promotion likes to say, "I'm smarter than the av-er-age bear", although he often overestimates his own cleverness. Boo-Boo is portrayed as an anthropomorphic bear cub, wearing a purple bow tie , who tries to do the correct thing, unlike Yogi who can't help himself grabbing picnic baskets and eating lots of food.

The voices of Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo Bear are Daws Butler and Don Messick, and then in the 2010 film are played by Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake.
