About this time Huckleberry Hound and the gang find Yogi and Boo Boo and offer to help find Judy's way home. They search everywhere and run into other animated characters such as Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble, Pixie and Dixie, Magilla Gorilla, Wally Gator, and Yakky Doodle. But nobody can seem to find the little girl's house.
When the police and the Ranger finally catch up with Yogi, Boo Boo, and Judy, they are none too pleased. But Judy announces that she hadn't been kidnapped and that she'd run away, which makes her father understand why he needs to spend time with her. Daddy springs Yogi and Boo Boo from the back of the paddy wagon and drops all charges against our heroes. And Yogi, Judy, and the gang celebrate a Christmas in the park and brighten everyone's holiday spirit.
Really it's a cute story that drives home that spending time with your kids during the holidays (and the rest of the year too) is important and should not be forgotten in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Also included on the DVD is the short "Yogi's Birthday Party" in which Ranger Smith, Boo Boo, and Cindy Bear help throw Yogi a surprise birthday party. To keep him in the dark, poor Yogi thinks he's going to have to perform some kind of act in front of a television audience and he goes out of his way to figure out what he's good at!
Though it was fun to see Yogi and the gang, I have to admit I really enjoyed seeing Snagglepuss after all these years. His catchphrases "Exit, stage left!" and "Heavens to Murgatroyd!" have stuck with me and seemed to resonate with my daughters as well. So maybe I'll have to see about finding some other Hanna-Barbera cartoons on DVD to fill a small void in my cartoon collection!
If you're looking for a fun Christmas-themed special with characters that haven't been seen on TV for a while, I'd definitely look for Yogi Bear's All-Star Comedy Caper on DVD. It's short and fun and should keep younger viewers entranced for a little while!
