    Well seeing the movie is getting writers from Rio it will be good and they might give yogi a musical number to expres his love to Trixie and then the next day Trixie is missing because the circus she's living in is gone

    @Monkey-iron i bet you are completely right, based on alvin and the chipmunks bringing in the chipettes.

    @superman81 agree... for the record... I DID NOT WATCH THE FIRST ONE... the trailer looked horrible and cgi only goes so far, it looks freaky in a live action setting, if they want to do a proper yogi, or garfield, or smurfs, or rocky and bullwinkle, or alvin, or quick draw mcgraw, or flinstones, or pink panther... or... well my point is do it all in cgi... take a hint from pixar and dreamworks... just works better that way.

    I don't care if Christopher Nolan was writing and directing Yogi Bear 2, I still wouldn't watch this abomination.

    @bawnian-dexeus LOL glad you enjoyed that. It was genius and The Assasination was a fantastic movie to begin with.

    @dan1 There's a good reason for the delay on Kick-Ass 2: Mark Millar hasn't completed the sequel series to the original bookyet so, until thats completed, the film can't be made. As for the Incredibles 2, there's no excuse. DEATH TO LASSETER!!!!!

    Do we really have to subject people to this crap? I agree with @dan1, I think we should get Kick-Ass and Incredibles sequels before this.

    How does horse sh*t like this and Cars 2 get green lit and made, and other projects, like Kick Ass 2, or Incredibles 2 (which should have been made long before Cars 2) get the run around or not made at all?
