The upcoming CG/live action film from Warner Bros, "Yogi Bear", has had a teaser trailer premier.
I almost forgot about this independent film from 2008. I haven't seen it personally, but now I want too.
Involving a mixture of traditional animation and live-action, this film deals with a digital loving executive who is mansion hunting and winds up dealing with his realtor, an out-of-work 'toon rabbit.
According to a recent Animation Magazine article, Warner Bros Pictures is gearing up to give the classic Looney Tunes character his own feature film.
The intergalactic Alien bounty hunter called Lobo will be hitting movie screens sometime in the near future. Unfortunately, the film is predicted to carry only a PG-13 ranking...
Animation Magazine has published more info about the project here:

Along with Tom & Jerry, and the rights to Hanna-Barbera's line of animated properties, Warners also has big-screen adaptations in development featuring "The Jetsons" and "Yogi Bear".
Time and box office revenue will tell if these are good ideas after all. I don't have my fingers crossed though.
I can't believe that Warner Bros Pictures is even considering a Yogi Bear film that will be in the same vein as the live action Scooby-Doo and Alvin & The Chipmunks films.
Johnny Depp has decided to help out his good friend Tim Burton again by taking on the role as the Mad Hatter for Burton's upcoming Alice in Wonderland adaptation.
(on a side note from the linked article, "He’s (Depp) also suiting up for a fourth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean saga, and is set to play Tonto in a new Lone Ranger flick.")
This brand new live action/animation Independent short film seems very intriguing!
