Saturday Morning Cartoon: Yogi Bear "Missile Bound Yogi"

A dramatic and moving cinematic plea to end mankind's senseless proclivity to make war on one another. This motion picture, made in the months after the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion, highlights the failure of American troops to capture territory when foiled by the less-technically sophisticated forces of relative primitive rebels. Which only goes to prove: never get involved in a land war in Asia. Especially in "Risk."


Yogi Bear "Missile Bound Yogi" (1961) featuring the voices of Daws Butler as Yogi and Don Messick as Boo-Boo


Sadly, only a few years after this, Yogi and Boo-Boo, their squadron commander Jerry "The Mathers" Beaver, and Corporal Gumby, were killed in Vietnam.

I love how the ranger uses reverse psychology to try to get Yogi killed. What an a-hole.
