Not So Magical Bear

Yogi Bear tries a magic trick in one of those cartoons-between-the-cartoons on the Huckleberry Hound Show.

Alakazam, Alagazoom
Come out, little bear, wherever you ere, are.



“Hiya, Yogi,” says Boo Boo, after popping out of the hat. He then jumps off stage. “Hello, there, Boo Boo,” Yogi responds, waving at him.



But that’s not the end of it. Yogi’s magic has conjured up another Boo Boo. And another. And another (in recycled animation).



“I goofed somewheres,” he says to the TV viewing audience. But he writes it off when the director cuts to a closer shot. “But you’ve gotta admit, it’s a pretty slick trick.” Iris out.



Yeah, it’s not hilarious, but it’s a pleasant enough interlude. Kids probably liked the idea of multiple Boo Boos just popping up (with assistance from the Hanna-Barbera sound effects library).

Then it’s on to a commercial for Kellogg’s, the Best to You Each Morning....
