Yogi Bear

De Line, D., Rosenfelt, K. (Producer), & Brevig, E. (Director).  (2010).  Yogi Bear [Motion Picture].  United States of America: Warner Brothers Pictures. 

Plot description:
In the beginning, Rachel comes to Jellystone Park to film a documentary on Yogi Bear, who is up to his normal shenanigans.  The Mayor wants to get rid of Jellystone Park because he wants to cut down the trees there in order to make a profit.  Yogi, with the help of Ranger Jones, ruins Jellystone Park’s 100th anniversary party, where they hoped to make enough money to save the park.  Will Yogi Bear help save Jellystone Park and make the Mayor look like the bad guy he is, or will he let the Mayor cut down all of the trees there?

Brief Review: 
I enjoyed this movie a lot.  It was a good family movie, filled with adventures, funny moments, and picnic basket snatching.   I found the lessons presented in this movie to be quite good.  One lesson found in this movie is for people to stick up for what they believe in; by doing this, one can accomplish anything, including saving a park like Jellystone.  I also liked how this movie promoted saving the environment.  Because of this lesson, children can learn to take care of their environment from an early age.  All in all, this was a wonderful family movie that provided many benefits to the children that watch it.
