Tired of Yogi’s ‘pic-a-nic’ basket stealing shenanigans, Jellystone National Park’s Ranger Smith ships Yogi off to the San Diego Zoo in this theatrically released comic adventure. Yogi manages to outwit Ranger Smith by having another bear crated off in his place, but the Jellystone watchdog isn’t the only one fooled. Believing her love has been sent away, Yogi’s girlfriend, Cindy, goes looking for him and is captured by a circus owner who forces her to perform a perilous high-wire act. Yogi and pal Boo Boo then set out on a cross-country mission to rescue her
The Man Called Flintstone marked the theatrical debut of the modern stone-Stone-Age family. The adventure begins when Fred is recruited by a secret organization to take the place of Rock Slag, an injured agent who happens to be Fred’s exact double. His mission is to travel to Eurock to find the villainous Green Goose and thwart his bid for world domination. Unable to tell his family or friends about the cloak-and-dagger plan, Fred takes Wilma, Barney and Betty along on a vacation in intrigue.
