Under the Radar DVD of the Week: 'Yogi Bear's All-Star Christmas Caper'

This week, the oddest DVD to appear on release lists is:

“Yogi Bear’s All-Star Christmas Caper”

With a big-budget, live action/animated “Yogi Bear” set to lumber into multiplexes for the holidays, it might be a good time to celebrate Yuletide with the original picnic-filching bear in ‘Yogi Bear’s All-Star Christmas Caper,” due out on DVD Tuesday.

The Hanna-Barbera cartoon character, who made his TV debut in 1958 on “The Huckleberry Hound Show” and starred in 70 of his own shows from 1960-62, grew into a baby-boomer icon for his animated antics in Jellystone Park.

In Yogi’s “All-Star Christmas Caper,” he and his sidekick Boo Boo are again on the hunt to swipe tasty picnic (or, as Yogi says, pic-a-nic) baskets from unsuspecting vacationers, despite the best efforts of Ranger Smith to stop them. Soon, Yogi escapes from Jellystone and makes his way to the city, where he hides out in a department store – posing as Santa. In the adventure that follows, Yogi helps a little girl rediscover her faith in Christmas.
