The cartoon has some good music cues throughout EXCEPT shouldn't a SAD cue be used when Yogi begs for food....Also, it's funny when the Ranger walks up behind Yogi in the health inspector scene, if only because of his pretending to be a customer ("I'll take one").Steve C.(almost smarter than the average Internet user)>Pokeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15936757752447320636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-3286170912389828452012-11-26T13:52:12.329-08:002012-11-26T13:52:12.329-08:00Do you remember at the beginning of this episode, ...Do you remember at the beginning of this episode, where Yogi acts as a "goodwill ambassador" for a couple of tourists, ready to beg for food? rodineisilveirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751345474415214163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-28635612756330339942012-11-26T11:16:02.892-08:002012-11-26T11:16:02.892-08:00I always enjoyed this cartoon.

It's obvious " Burma Shave/Carnation " reference, and also remembering how the tourist DID sound a bit like " Cap N' Crunch " Usually a Yogi short with tourists means Daws will do what I call his dry,uninterested,I would rather be anywhere but here- deadpan male tourist voice; " Beat-It" !!" Or the other cartoon with " Search me, sounds like a woodchuck " Love it!Errolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-25579574016691930232012-11-24T18:35:45.059-08:002012-11-24T18:35:45.059-08:00Seeing this episode recently, a major highlight is...Seeing this episode recently, a major highlight is Don Messick's subtle "Get up, Yogi...and follow me," followed by his soliloquy about Bears. Messick gets a lot of praise for his voicework, but his Ranger Smith is rather underrated.angmc43@hotmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379700547226493861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-34867810363466445662012-11-24T10:37:27.117-08:002012-11-24T10:37:27.117-08:00The "contented bees" line is a poke at t...The "contented bees" line is a poke at the old Carnation slogan-"The Milk From Contented Cows".top cat jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16248949443799986766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-87265539006879034462012-11-24T09:51:12.142-08:002012-11-24T09:51:12.142-08:00Chris, this is certainly far from the worst cartoo...Chris, this is certainly far from the worst cartoon Foster did that season. There's one review coming where I point out the tremendous workload he and Maltese were under which gave little time to sit there and work on the nuances of their stories. It's no wonder Tony Benedict and Sandy Sandifer were hired, and it's no wonder Joe Ruby and Ken Spears were allowed to work on the side and come up with stories for the bumper cartoons for the half-hour shows. Still, I'll take this story over some of the theatricals which were foisted on people in the middle to late '60s.<br />J.L., yeah, that would work for me just fine. But, of course, it would involve costly drawing. The ranger could have even stood there and insulted the bee's honey beforehand and that would have worked.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-37753402702215025702012-11-24T09:33:21.558-08:002012-11-24T09:33:21.558-08:00Hey, maybe the bee thought Mr. Ranger was the “rin...Hey, maybe the bee thought Mr. Ranger was the “ringleader” of the gang that stole his honey-log (due to his uniform and bossing Yogi around) and gave him what-for! <br /><br />And, I have always liked this one a lot!

But I suppose by this point in the series we were pretty much conditioned to the Mr. Ranger always getting it in the end (literally, here) when he defies the cartoon gods and lords it over Yogi.J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-19734357008182177812012-11-24T08:07:33.019-08:002012-11-24T08:07:33.019-08:00I guess for talented writers like Foster, even the...I guess for talented writers like Foster, even they have their off-days when scripting as many episodes for a company like HB. <br /><br />Kind of a shame; the story felt disjointed in places and, TBH, Warren could have easily pulled off a similar storyline to "Pie Pirates" or "The Stout Trout" - ie; Yogi and Boo Boo, following Ranger's orders to forage in the woods, attempt to snatch honey from a tree while avoiding bees - or something to that extent.Chris Signorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12308489347614565068noreply@blogger.com
