Yogi Bear 3D is the latest in a long line of cartoon to live action adaptations and unfortunately joins their ranks as a barely passable film. Whilst it remains true to the spirit of the original cartoon it also plays extremely dumb leaving little or no emotion or empathy with the characters and thus little or no engagement from the audience; unless of course you are of a certain age when, as is clear from its box office takings, this is the best film ever made due to its talking bear and slapstick humour. With all the actors playing for laughs, even the mildly serious nature of the plot is sent up meaning any potential message is lost in a sea of idiocy. Kids films don’t have to pander in this way, Pixar have proved that time and again, if only all the studios made such efforts, we the public would have so many better films to spend time with.

As a Region Free 3D Blu-ray Warner have provided a spectacular picture and extremely good sound in what can easily be clased as a demo disc, if only the film wasn’t so bad, but is slightly let down buy a lacklustre set of extras – the Road Runner cartoon is a hoot though! With a 3D only disc, a 2D disc, DVD and digital copy this is a typically future proof buy.
