Yogi's First Christmas (1980)

Directed by Roy Patterson
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Long, episodic, made-for-TV Christmas movie featuring Hanna-Barbera's popular gang of Jellystone Park characters. The voices are familiar, but the plot is too thin to sustain a movie nearly 2 hours long. Yogi and friends try their hand at every conceivable winter sport: ski jumping, ice skating, cross country skiing, even ice fishing. There are numerous musical interludes. A bratty kid named Snively and an old Hermit named Herman try to ruin Christmas for everyone else.
