My daughter and I recently watched Yogi's First Christmas (1980) on Tubi. The storyline follows Jellystone National Park preparing for Christmas holiday events at a nearby lodge. When a hibernating bear decides to wake up and join the party, things get out of control for the ranger. Can the ranger get things under control, or will the bear settle into the holiday season?
This picture had five directors and features voices from Daws Butler (The Jetsons), Don Messick (The Last Unicorn), Hal Smith (The Andy Griffith Show), and Janet Waldo (The Jetsons).
I enjoyed this picture way more than I expected. The idea of Yogi's first Christmas really worked, and the two villains were excellent. This also included a large number of side characters in the Jellystone universe, which was a pleasant surprise. The circumstances were a lot of fun, the hijinks were unique and unexpected, and the ending is rewarding. There's a lot to like here.
In conclusion, this is an underrated holiday animated gem that's absolutely worth your time. I would score this an 8/10 and strongly recommend it.
