What happens

Hey There, It's Yogi Bear! is a 1964 American animated musical comedy film produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and released by Columbia Pictures. The film stars the voices of Daws Butler, Don Messick, Julie Bennett, Mel Blanc, and J. Pat O'Malley. This film marks the second time that a character originating in short cartoons was given an expanded role sustaining an entire feature with a single storyline. The first was Mister Magoo in 1959's 1,001 Arabian Nights. Previously, extended appearances by characters associated with shorts were limited to special sequences within features (Tom and Jerry in Anchors Aweigh, Mickey Mouse in Fantasia), bridges and framing continuity in "package" features (Donald Duck in The Three Caballeros), or featurettes (Popeye Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves). Based upon Hanna-Barbera's syndicated animated television show The Yogi Bear Show, Hey There, It's Yogi Bear! was also the first theatrical feature produced by Hanna-Barbera, and the first feature-length theatrical animated film based on a television program. In keeping with the limited animation of the television series, the film was not fully animated, but did contain more detailed animation work than the show, as well as a fully-orchestrated score and original songs.
