The long awaited trailer of the “Yogi Bear” 3-D feature film has been released. Irish American Tom Cavanagh plays Ranger Smith, alongside an all-star cast including Dan Aykroyd as Yogi, Justin Timerlake as Boo Boo. The original cartoon, which was part of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series, was a favourite amongst children for decades. The cartoon started back in 1961 and it’s still run on TV around the globe. Warner Bros have a lot to live up to with their new live-action / animated 3-D version that will be released in the United States on December 17. The plot of the new movie sees Yogi, Boo Boo and Ranger Smith (the blue eyed Tom Cavanagh) join forces to come up with a way to stop Jellystone Park from closing. Of course the plot eventually proves that Yogi is, as always, “smarter than the average bear.” Cavanagh is probably most recognized as Dan Dorian,...

The trailer for Yogi Bear, the big-screen 3-D frolic in the forest featuring the voices of Dan Aykroyd as Yogi and Justin Timberlake as Boo Boo, is going to be polarizing.

I just hope they don’t notice that the guard rail Yogi...

But with the Christmas TV movie season in full swing, it's time to ask you for your all-time favorites. I was reminded of a few of mine this morning when a colleague forwarded me the link to TV Tango's comprehensive holiday-themed programming guide. Tomorrow at 8 p.m. Et, Hallmark Channel is showing 1999's A Season for Miracles (pictured), starring Carla Gugino as an aunt who goes...
