I am surprised none of the cartoon buffs have commmented on this cartoon.

Yogi's First Christmas has become one of the beloved Christmas specials since it aired.

It features all the characters created by Hanna-Barbera and has a pretty good story.

Story borrows a bit from the Grinch who stole Christmas.

Snively an evil character, and a character known as Herman
Hermit are attempting to close down JellyStone National Park
and place the blame of it's failure on Yogi Bear.

Ranger Smith gives Yogi Bear the boot, but Yogi and
others plan a way to save Jellystone using the old
Christmas spirit.

This animated film is a classic.

Daws Butler as Yogi Bear will always be remembered
as a great actor who provided the voice for one
of the most cherished character of all time,
Yogi Bear.

Of course the special comes complete with all the Christmas songs one would expect.

Every home should have a copy of Yogi Bear's first Christmas. I grew up watching this cartoon and it always brings back some lovely memories of Christmas time. The movie is all about Herman the Hermit and a naughty boy named Snively. Watch how they both team up and try to close down Jellystone park where Yogi lives. In a battle of good versus bad an entire star cast comprising Ranger Smith, Boo Boo, Huckleberry hound, Snagglepuss, Cindy Bear and many more are working harder to try and save the lodge. The fact that all this happens at Christmas time makes the cartoon so much more magical...Wonderful songs, tree trimming, Santa Claus, winter sports and so much more make a great story line. A must watch for the young and the young at heart - Yogi Bear's first Christmas !

I feel in love with this Christmas special when I was little; I had it taped from TV and watched it every year, until the tape went missing. I've been waiting for this to come out on DVD for the longest time - and now it's here! I received it today, and have watched it over and over again. It's great quality - just like I remembered.

For those waiting for Yogi's First Christmas on DVD - this is what you've been looking for!

Well, got one for a gift at Christmas, could not get this DVD-R to play on any of the five DVD players I have. Amazon was nice enough to replace it and guess what?? My computer cannot even play the replacement DVD. Maybe I just have bad luck with this title, but two in a row??? Guess I will have to buy a copy bootleg to see this great cartoon, like I will have to do if I ever want to watch the rest of NEWHART TV series, set in Vermont!

Being a kid in the 1980's, each year at Christmas time there were a series of shows that would play on TV that kids got to see once a year. Every year I remember it being a BIG deal when they were finally on and everyone would call each other on the phone to tell them what channel to find it on.

While the years of seeing a program just once a Holiday are over, the nostalgia of this childhood memory still lives in this program. There were several shows each Holiday season. Peanuts (A Charlie Brown Christmas), Jetson's Christmas, Flintstone's Christmas, Frosty the Snowman and of course Rudolph were all shows we eagerly awaited, but Yogi's First Christmas was my all time favorite.

For years I didn't realise it was called Yogi's First Christmas. There were so many Hanna Barbera characters in it, that I wasn't sure the exact name. Finally after some searching last Christmas I found it.

This is the one where the Ranger, Yogi, Boo Boo, and all the other Hanna Barbera characters work at a lodge for Christmas to keep it open. Snively, the wealthy and spoiled nephew of the lodge owner visits for Christmas and almost spoils the Holiday. Yogi, usually well into hibernation at that time, tries his best to stay awake so he can see his very first Christmas day, and as usual saves the day.

When watching it, it really brings back memories of what cartoons were like back in the 1980's. The graphics are nothing like today's cartoons, but every time I watch it it's like being 6 years old and eagerly awaiting Santa all over again.

I can't believe this cartoon is not available on DVD yet! It definately belongs on the shelf with Rudolph, Frosty and Santa Clause is Coming to Town. I enjoyed this cartoon growing up and my 2 year old is now asking to watch Yogi's Christmas. The story is great and it is awesome to see all Yogi's friends together in one movie. It definately brings back some fond memories

I remember watching Yogi's First Christmas as a child, and for many years after. It is one of my favorite memories of Christmas, and I looked forward to watching it every year on television. I believe they are still showing it on TV these days. It is great to be able to have a DVD of this show, to keep in my home library, and share with my child.

The story is cute and gives you the warm, fuzzy feeling associated with Christmastime. Yogi and Boo Boo are usually hibernating this time of year, but of course, the festive atmosphere gets them up and about, and into all sorts of shenanigans, as usual.

There are two villains here, i.e. Snively, the nephew of Jellystone Park's owner, and Herman Hermit. It is up to Yogi and friends to save Jellystone Park from ruin. There are tons of festive songs in here to delight and entertain, and my holiday tradition is just not complete without watching classic Christmas shows like this.

I love this movie and was very disappointed to find that it won't play on my dvd/vcr recorder/player. It did work on my laptop so I'm keeping it. It has a warning on the dvd, so there is no reason Amazon can't put that on their website. Just beware you may not be able to play it.

This DVD played great in my DVD player. It was awesome. I've been bummed for years that it didn't come on TV like when I was a kid and I've been looking forever for the DVD and haven't seen it until now. So glad I did. Now my kids love it too and makes me tear up watching them enjoy my favorite Christmas movie ever!

For those that are saying that it doesn't work for them, the box specifically says that it will not play on any sort of recordable device, so if you're trying to play it on a recordable DVD player, or a computer, won't work.

My sisters and I have loved this movie since we were kids and have finally found it on DVD. Now our kids love it too!
