Hey There, It's Yogi Bear! is a 1964 American animated musical comedy film produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and released by Columbia Pictures.[3] The film stars the voices of Daws Butler, Don Messick, Julie Bennett, Mel Blanc, and J. Pat O'Malley.

Based upon Hanna-Barbera's syndicated animated television show The Yogi Bear Show, Hey There, It's Yogi Bear! was the first theatrical feature produced by Hanna-Barbera, and the first feature-length theatrical animated film based on a television program.[4][5] In keeping with the limited animation of the television series, the film was not fully animated, but did contain more detailed animation work than the show.[6] The long-awaited epilogue series, The New Yogi Bear Show, premiered on September 12, 1988, and consists of 45 episodes.
