Witch/Granny (1960) Cartoon
Animal
Tagline: "Come to my biiirthday paaarty!" Plot summary: The main event of "The Yogi Bear" show was obviously the Yogi Bear segment. Most old Hanna Barbara shows contained one ten minute cartoon of the show's namesake and one or two backup cartoons, usually less popular characters who needed time in the spotlight. I am guessing here that the long segments between Yogi cartoons were for when he was sleeping or shitting in the woods (do bears do that?). Yakky Doodle is without a doubt my favorite Hanna Barbara backup cartoon. It was so great there was no way Yogi was hibernating or cleaning out his pic-a-nic assket during a Yakky Doodle segment. During a Yakky Doodle segment Yogi is in an SUV driving down the freeway to rescue Boo Boo from terrorists in Jellystone Park. The plot of Yakky Doodle is always as follows: Yakky Doodle is a small duck with speech issues who gets into trouble/has a problem. Yakky's friend, a dog named Chopper, tries to help him out. Hilarity ensues. And the best part of it all is that the cartoon characters seriously sound like they're reading poorly from cue cards to purposefully mock their own cartoon. In this particular episode a witch wants to eat duck, so she convinces Yakky Doodle that it's her birthday and she will be sad if he does not celebrate this special occasion with her inside of a giant black pot full of boiling water. Yakky agrees, being dumb as a bag full of bricks made of hardened shit, and Chopper must rescue him by dressing up as both Hansel and Gretel. It is all completely retarded and totally awesome. And also, Yogi Bear's SUV is more fuel-efficient than the average SUV. (more) User Comments: The witch, who actually manages to convince a duck who has gone through biological hell and tribulation to gain human speech that she is his grandmother, is about as stereotypical as witches get. She's like "Book of Shadows" stereotypical. And for some reason she thinks the best way to cook a duck is to heat up a large pot of water and let the duck swim in it until I'm guessing his legs burn enough that he sinks and is cooked complete with feathers and internal organs.
She should've had the guys in Zulu masks from the Jonny Quest opening credits chopping carrots. Who knows, maybe it's a secret recipe. I know I'd have no idea how to cook a male duckling with C-cup cleavage. User Rating:
