Jellystone! is the first series to feature many of Hanna-Barbera's trademark characters (such as Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound) since 1991's Yo Yogi!, the first production since the closure of the Hanna-Barbera studios, and also the first TV series featuring them without the respective studios' founders William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, who died in 2001 and 2006, respectively.
The first season consisted of 21 episodes with most episodes combined in pairs, but was produced as separate 11-minute episodes,[3] including the Halloween episode "Spell Book".[4] The second season was released on March 17, 2022.[5] On March 2, 2022, it was announced that it was renewed for an additional 40 episodes.[6] There will also be a two-part special that will feature cameos of Cartoon Network characters.[7] The first half of season three will be released on Max on February 22, 2024.[8]
Overview
The series is a reimagined take on the legendary Hanna-Barbera brand, focusing on a modernized ensemble of its characters as they live, work, and play together but have to solve the problems they have.
All of them have specific roles in the community. Huckleberry Hound is the Mayor of Jellystone, Yogi Bear is a surgeon, Doggie Daddy is a lighthouse keeper who is overprotective towards Augie Doggie, Jabberjaw and Loopy De Loop work in Magilla Gorilla's haberdashery called "Magilla's", Top Cat and the Hoagy's Alley cats continue with their scam activities, El Kabong doubles as a teacher and superhero, Shazzan is a ticket seller at Jellystone Theatre and does various vendor jobs, and The Banana Splits are cartoonish criminals.[2][9]
The episode "Sweet Dreams" claims that Jellystone is nestled between Lake Jellystone and New Bedrock.
Intro gags
During the opening sequence, a gag will occur during the citizens' marching that will knock down some buildings like dominoes and cause everyone to run. The following gags have occurred:
In contrast with previous Hanna-Barbera media, some of the established male characters are now female in the series for the sake of gender balance; these include Augie Doggie, Jabberjaw, half of Top Cat's gang, Squiddly Diddly and Loopy De Loop.
Production
C. H. Greenblatt came up with the idea of rebooting Hanna-Barbera's legacy into a newly founded city where anything can happen.
Greenblatt grew up on a lot of Hanna-Barbera content during the 1970s, and gained a deep respect for the brand from there, believing that its expansive array of characters is what really made it work. Whilst working on the series, he and his crew decided to have every single character exist in a single town together, changing some of their core traits to make them more likeable while adapting to modern audiences, instead of recreating their past adventures. They also managed to weave in the action-based characters, such as Jonny Quest and Shazzan, whereas many of the obscure ones, ranging from the Biskitts to Yankee Doodle Pigeon, were reduced to cameos.
In a July interview with Animation Magazine during the series development, Greenblatt stated that they had just outsourced to their animation departments and that the show could debut in 2021.[10]
Jeff Bergman said that he was voicing Yogi Bear amongst others for the series.[11]
Concept art for the series.
The show's HBO Max premiere, July 29, 2021, was announced, as well as the rest of the voice cast.[2]
Unlike Greenblatt's other two shows, which utilized traditional hand-drawn animation, Jellystone! was animated with Adobe Animate by Snipple Animation Studios and Cheeky Little Media. Ben Gruber, who co-created Superjail! for Adult Swim, is the show's story editor.
Greenblatt called the series a "love letter" in an interview with Greg Ehrbar on Jerry Beck's animationscoop.com but "not a nostalgia show", though he had filled the episodes with classic cameos. He did not see the series as a replacement for the original shows and characters, but hoped that the entire Hanna-Barbera library might someday become available easily.[3] Greenblatt also compared the overall vibe of the show to season five of The Simpsons, the point where that series transitioned from a domestic sitcom to a wacky ensemble cast-based show.
Cindy accidentally turns Yogi into an unstoppable eating machine after installing a nuclear stomach into him so he wouldn't have to keep being indecisive on what he gets in the hospital's cafeteria. When each of the citizens get eaten, Cindy must lead the remaining ones into disabling the nuclear stomach through whatever way possible.
When Grape Ape falls asleep in the middle of town square following Mayor Huckleberry's award to police chief Touché Turtle and Cindy diagnoses this as a food coma, it's up to Yogi, Boo Boo, Cindy, and the citizens of Jellystone to move this mountain and cure Grape Ape of his food coma. Meanwhile, Doggie Daddy gets stuck to Grape Ape's fur when trying to get to Augie.
Feeling unappreciated and considering himself invisible to the citizens of Jellystone, Boo Boo gets a boost from a new pair of boots as they start to interact with him. Yogi grows jealous of Boo Boo's newfound popularity and soon ends up in a tall boot war with him as they go through tall boots after tall boots to try to outdo each other.
When Doggie Daddy brings a disguised Augie to his friends' night with Yogi as he didn't want to leave Augie with a babysitter, Boo Boo, Captain Caveman, and Bobbie Louie, she becomes the most popular member of the group. This causes Augie to continue acting like Dave which starts to annoy Doggie Daddy enough to challenge Dave to an advanced bowling competition.
When Magilla gets amnesia after being hit by a falling coconut as part of a Hawaiian background, Jabberjaw exploits him to score her dream job as assistant manager of the store which Magilla couldn't do as it wouldn't be fair to Loopy. When the coconut bonking goes too far, Jabberjaw enlists Yogi and Cindy in order to get to his core memory before his entire memories are gone forever.
After Augie and Doggie Daddy forget a crucial ingredient for their fruit salad while shopping at the grocery store Barberas, Augie persuades Doggie Daddy to hold their place in line and embarks on a journey to retrieve those bananas. After trying cheese from Shazzan, Augie enjoys the delights of Barberas while Doggie Daddy keeps his spot in line defended much to the annoyance of Mr. Jinx, Peter Potamus, Bobbie Louie, and Winsome Witch.
Cindy has a busy schedule where she does some things for Boo Boo, Yogi, and the hospital president Ranger Smith and deals with a book club gathering with Jabberjaw, Mr. Jinx, and Winsome Witch. Not wanting to be shunned from the book club, Cindy creates a laser that puts everyone in a gelatin stasis in order to finish her book club reading.
After losing their alley in a dance battle against King's group because they can't dance and having to bunk with Peter Potamus, Top Cat and the gang might actually have to do some hard work to get it back like spreading banana peels near them, doing a bad parade, and licking everything. When all of them fail, Top Cat and his gang decide to do a dance battle against King's group.
Shag wants to live a VIP lifestyle. Unfortunately, he meets the Banana Splits who loan him money to improve the Mud Bug Café and now has to pay them back and their interest. With the Banana Splits planning to give his family's restaurant one-star reviews enough for nobody to ever dine there again, Shag enlists Augie and Yakky Doodle to help him out.
El Kabong must find a new "weapon" to replace his beloved guitar Susan after it got destroyed by the Banana Splits wearing special helmets. He tries different instruments when Squiddly Diddly's shop is out of guitars. After each instrument fails to work on the Banana Splits even when they raid Jellystone Elementary School, El Kabong must use the most unlikeliest way of improvising a guitar.
When the movie "Super Ultra Death Woman 4: The Deathening" comes out at the Jellystone Theater, Shag, Augie, and Yakky are up to seeing it, they are told by Shazzan that it is for grown-ups only. To see it, Shag, Augie, and Yakky go the Jellystone Theater in the disguise of a lawyer named Mr. Flabby Dabby Wabby Jabby. Things get out of hand when they're mistaken for the real Mr. Flabby Dabby Wabby Jabby by everyone.
After a night out with Yogi, Boo Boo, Jabberjaw, and Loopy, Captain Caveman goes with them to see the Jellystone Ice Caps. He breaks some ice where he thaws out Cavey Jr. who calls him his father. Realizing he's a father after Snagglepuss does a DNA test on his talk show, Cavey dedicates himself to being the best dad to Cavey Jr.
DNA A-OK is a program started by Captain Caveman that takes the sample of saliva to help find their heritage. Yogi is among those that want to find their heritage. After finding out he's 98% cat, Yogi resigns being a doctor and tries to roll with Top Cat and his gang after seeing them scam J. Whimple Dimple out of his money. He has a hard time fitting in by doing scams for them which go comically awry.
Mayor Huckleberry throws a town event to celebrate the accomplishments of Hubert Bartholomewbert who founded Jellystone 100 years ago. When Jellystone's oldest citizen Lippy the Lion reveals the truth about Hubert being a liar about his stories which he did for fame and money, Mayor Huckleberry holds a contest to find the new face of Jellystone. This causes everyone to compete in it where Mayor Huckleberry has a hard time picking a winner.
After treating Augie, Yogi learns from Doggie Daddy that Augie got full at the premiere pizza restaurant called the Cattanooga Cheese Explosion which is on Avenue Boulevard. When Yogi arrives, he learns from its owner Chopper that it is for happy families only. After failing to pass Boo Boo off as a child, Yogi strikes a deal with Shag so he can get in and eat their food.
Chopper drops off Yakky at the playground who is weary about being squished. Hearing about Yakky's plight, Augie and Shag try to help Yakky be braver which includes getting advice from Doggie Daddy, Jabberjaw, and Peter Potamus. When it comes to Cindy, she plans to extract Yakky's fear juice out with her fear sucker invention.
Ruff and Reddy blow themselves up trying to cherish the other causing Doggie Daddy to work on repairing them. When Augie and Yakky discover a fun VR game called "Buddy Blastez" hosted by The Great Gazoo, they wind up blurring the lines between fiction and reality when they unknowingly cause havoc around Jellystone. Now it's up to Doggie Daddy to end the game.
Mr. Jinks gives Mayor Huckleberry a gift for his good cholesterol report in the form of his favorite wrestler the Funky Phantom who had lost his final wrestling match against Mightor. After showing off his Funky Phantom collectibles in his personal museum, Mayor Huckleberry hosts a wrestling tournament commentated by Snagglepuss and Mildew Wolf so Funky Phantom can relive his glory days.
A crate of fish sticks that expired in 2015 falls off a van upon hitting a pothole outside of the alley. Top Cat and his gang are in for a smelly surprise when they try to resell them to the unsuspecting Jellystone residents at $11.00. This causes anyone who consumes them to have their heads turned into fish heads. Now Top Cat and his gang must cure everyone of this condition.
Mayor Huckleberry is planning a tourism video of Jellystone and gets negative feedback from Snagglepuss. Mr. Jinks shows Mayor Huckleberry a trending video involving Yogi's surgery bloopers. When Mayor Huckleberry hires Yogi to direct the Jellystone tourism video, things get out of hand when he does action-themed video and blows the town budget. Due to Yogi being into his character, Mayor Huckleberry engages Yogi in battle with an anime filter added to it.
