Critics Consensus

Yogi Bear's 3D effects and all-star voice cast are cold comfort for its aggressively mediocre screenplay.

The new Yogi Bear is survivable. That's as far as I'll go.

There are some watchable 3D sequences in a boat on the rapids and a makeshift airplane, but it's pretty grim for anyone over six.

Lazily plotted and tiredly predictable, the film reminds me of one of that other Yogi's most famous phrases: "It's deja vu all over again."

Rated: 2/5

How is it, by the way, that a park has actual talking bears and nobody seems to care? How is this park losing money, anyway?

Rated: 1.5/4.0

...a patience-testing, headache-inducing disaster with little to offer older viewers.

As someone new to the series, I found the film to be a decent children’s movie that embraces its target audience with silly humor for kids and a few moments for adults. It doesn’t aim to be a blockbuster, instead focusing on lighthearted fun, though the CGI falters in scenes like the boat sequence, and the caterpillar scene is especially unpleasant. The movie drags at times when characters are moping or stressed, and the plot is weak, with a lackluster villain and an unconvincing love story. Still, there are standout moments, like the visually memorable “space donut” scene and clever jokes, such as the music cutting off during a lock-picking or the chaos caused by a live microphone. Rachel’s fourth-wall break at the end is confusing but suits the whimsical tone, encouraging viewers to go with the flow. Overall, while the film may not leave a lasting impact, it has enough fun and quotable moments to make it an enjoyable, if shallow, watch for kids that adults can tolerate.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

This is genuinely one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. The plot is incredible. Great visuals. Voice acting and actors are amazing. This is a masterpiece and we should be grateful to have been blessed with it.

Yogi may be smarter than the average bear, but this movie is very much not, go camping instead of watching this thin and basic movie.
