Yogi Bear is a cartoon character who has appeared in numerous comic books, animated television shows and films. He made his debut in 1958 as a supporting character in ''The Huckleberry Hound Show''. Yogi Bear was the first breakout character created by Hanna-Barbera and was eventually more popular than Huckleberry Hound.〔Mallory, Michael. ''Hanna-Barbera Cartoons''. New York: Hugh Lauter Levin Associates, 1998. ISBN 0-88363-108-3. p. 44.〕 In January 1961, he was given his own show, ''The Yogi Bear Show'', sponsored by Kellogg's, which included the segments ''Snagglepuss'' and ''Yakky Doodle''.〔Sennett, Ted. ''The Art of Hanna-Barbera: Fifty Years of Creativity''. New York: Viking Penguin, 1989. ISBN 0-670-82978-1. pp. 63–64.〕 ''Hokey Wolf'' replaced his segment on ''The Huckleberry Hound Show''.〔Sennett, p. 52.〕 A musical animated feature film, ''Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!'', was produced in 1964. Yogi was one of several Hanna-Barbera characters to have a collar. This allowed animators to keep his body static, redrawing only his head in each frame when he spoke — a method that reduced the number of drawings needed for a seven-minute cartoon from around 14,000 to around 2,000.〔("Hanna Barbera's golden age of animation" ), BBC, December 19, 2006〕 ==Personality== Like many Hanna-Barbera characters, Yogi's personality and mannerisms were based on a popular celebrity of the time. Art Carney's Ed Norton character on ''The Honeymooners'' was said to be Yogi's inspiration;〔Sennett, p. 60.〕〔Anthony, Breznican. "Yogi Bear gets a digital makeover." USA Today n.d.: Academic Search Complete. EBSCO. Web. December 9, 2010. "Yogi, as voiced by Daws Butler in the early 1960s, was a takeoff on Art Carney's Ed Norton from The Honeymooners -- itself a character heavily influenced by the Borscht Belt and vaudeville comics."〕 his voice mannerisms broadly mimic Carney as Norton.〔Sennett, p. 59.〕 Norton, in turn, received influence from the Borscht Belt and comedians of vaudeville.〔 Yogi's name was similar to that of contemporary baseball star Yogi Berra, who was known for his amusing quotes, such as "half the lies they tell about me aren't true." Berra sued Hanna-Barbera for defamation, but their management claimed that the similarity of the names was just a coincidence. Berra withdrew his suit, but the defense was considered implausible and sources now report that Berra was the inspiration for the name. At the time Yogi Bear first hit TV screens, Yogi Berra was a household name.〔Bradle, Laura. ("The Relationship Between Yogi Berra and Yogi Bear, Explained" ), ''Slate'' (September 23, 2015).〕 The plot of most of Yogi's cartoons centered on his antics in the fictional Jellystone Park, a variant of the real Yellowstone National Park. Yogi, accompanied by his constant companion Boo-Boo Bear, would often try to steal picnic baskets from campers in the park, much to the displeasure of Park Ranger Smith. Yogi's girlfriend, Cindy Bear, sometimes appeared and usually disapproved of Yogi's antics. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yogi Bear」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
