Yogi Bear Alternate Ending: ‘BooBoo Kills Yogi’ Parody Video Creator Speaks! – Speakeasy – WSJ
Earle decided to re-fashion a new ending to “Yogi Bear” by casting the titular hero and his sidekick Boo-Boo as the leads in his take on “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” a drama written and directed by Andrew Dominik and starring Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck. He chose “Jesse James” because he happened to be watching it at time, and thought the drama would be an excellent counterpart to a picnic basket-stealing bear. “It was an organic creation,” he says.
Not for kids. This would damage mine for good. But if you haven’t seen this parody yet, it’s certainly worth checking out. Big hats off to Edmund Earle. Priceless work.
