    Folks..we just lost Julie Bennett. Dedicate this video in her memory.

      Julie Bennett had a beautiful voice and will be missed. She brought Cindy to life and was her speaking voice in this movie.
      Legendary session singer Jackie Ward provided Cindys singing voice on “like I like you” and other songs in the film.

      @@Long-HairedLuigi That is difficult to say, because after Taft bought H-B, their record company closed down and The Impossibles album was never released. I still have hope that a lot of stuff may see the light of day someday in this era of "content." Wasn't it cool how they did the disco Eep Opp Ork on Galaxy Goof Ups? I did find two Sundance Kids singles recently.

      @@gregehrbar8993 I personally thought the disco version of Eep Oop totally ruled over the original! I never even knew they were planning (?) in releasing an Impossibles album, I wish a ton of this stuff would finally get released. The "Pic A Nic" CD set was a nice start but was surprisingly skimpy. & all the disco tracks from "Goof Ups" would work great as an album. ;)

    The Colpix soundtrack features all the songs except the vocals on the “Whistle Your Way Back Home” finale reprise, and the entire album clocks in at 26:50,but could easily have been padded out to include more of the Marty Paich background music. Examples:Cindy Bear’s intro theme, the
    jazzy variation on the Yogi theme song in the “Brown Phantom” segment, the dangerous kidnapping music, the accompaniement in the scene with Yogi & Boo Boo in transit, the chase & Gershwinesque cues in the city, and many more. A nice companion piece (including the original character voices) was the 8 minute promotional movie tie-in record that people once sent away for in the mail. Hopefully these and other soundtracks will eventually be expanded and released on cd, as many Hanna Barbera songs and music already have been available to a grand retro listening public.

      I also much preferred the Marty Paich arrangement of Veni,Veno,Vene that was heard in the film to the rearranged,simplified version that appeared on the album. I want to hear the exact songs the way they sounded in the film

      @@Suddenlyits1960 Yes-the vinyl record version with piano sounds more like a studio demo, although that might have been the actual recording we hear in the film… but the piano is dropped in favor of playing up the more appropriate mandolin. On a related note, the “Pensate Amore” song from “The Man Called Flintstone” actually can also be heard two ways: sung by Louis Prima in the film itself, or on the vinyl record sung by Leo De Lyon in a studio recorded version. While we’re at it, the Venetian dream sequence in “Yogi” was particularly expanded into a full-length book published by Mondadori in the 1960’s called “Yoghi a Venezia” featuring the characters dreaming of a historically-educational excursion to the city, and the same publishers did a very substantial visual adaptation of the Yogi film as well, called “Yoghi, Cindi e Bu Bu” . Both books can be purchased online…they curiously feature Italian texts and unfortunately were never published in English to my knowledge, but are well worth seeking-out…they contain numerous illustrations as well as artwork from the actual film.

    The opening song, similar to “Here Comes Santa Claus”,but cleverly distinguished in its own right,was composed by David Gates, later a member of the group “Bread”. The “Whistle Your Way Back Home” song was actually considered for the original working title of the film. Instead of the spoken character voices of Daws Butler, Don Messick and Julie Bennett, other performers were used for the singing vocals. Bill Lee was a member of “The Mellomen” and dubbed the singing for many film actors including Christopher Plummer in “The Sound of Music”. Ernie Newton could be heard in “Brigadoon” and other films. Carol “Jackie” Ward provided the catchy “Rice a Roni , the San Francisco Treat” jingle voice as well as singing for Linda Evans in “Beach Blanket Bingo”. And of course in the Venice daydream segment Boo Boo comments that Yogi sings “just like James Darren,” the joke being that he is actually performing the song.

      Gloria Wood,who was the singing voice of Nelly,in the Warner Bros cartoon “Nelly’s folly” also sang the Rice a Roni commercials.
      Jackie Wards work in this film was superb. All the songs in this were top notch and catchy.
      When I worked at a vintage movie theatre decades ago I got them to show this film.

      @@Suddenlyits1960 Hey, so glad you were able to get the theater to screen this! I remember in the mid 1980’s certain revival houses in NY were also showing the film and it turns up now and then. More recent audiences are more familiar with the cgi “Yogi Bear” film which itself had its merits but in no way matches the visual and aural genius work presented in the 1964 masterpiece. Perhaps present-day audiences will become more familiar with the film
      through tv and dvd, and all marketed prints of this and “The Man Called Flintstone” both still warrant fuller, more professional distributions (with commentaries,animation galleries and bonus features, for example).
      Hopefully we can all look forward someday to more screened revival showings at major movie theaters.

      @@Suddenlyits1960 Carol “Jackie” Ward was certainly outstanding in her singing as Cindy and as I mentioned she sang two songs for Linda Evans in “Beach Blanket Bingo” as well as the Rice-a-Roni jingle. I didn’t know Gloria Wood had also done those ads-she was more familiar to me from the “Nelly’s Folly” short you referred to and I know she was also in “Melody” and “Toot Whistle Plunk and Boom” for Disney with those classroom birds learning about music. Anyway, back to the Yogi film…Cindy Bear was in literally only a few of the original Yogi shorts so it was nice that her look was updated and her role much expanded for the feature film. Jackie Ward was wonderful as the singer for Cindy but Julie Bennett was certainly a talent as her speaking voice. I spoke to her years ago by phone and told her she was very memorable in many voice roles not only for HB but also as Mewsette’s owner in UPA’s “Gay Purr-ee” and much other work. I recalled she had also done lots of on-camera work on tv (as in the “marriage” episode of “Superman”) and she told me she even did some announcing for the Thanksgiving parade in NY. Regrettably, as another person has posted, she passed away recently due to the virus, but her contributions to the media deserve strong recognition.

      @@Long-HairedLuigi And the title tune even also seems to borrow from or at least recall the old popular song “Ain’t We Got Fun” which can be heard in several classic Warner Brothers cartoons. No disrespect to David Gates, as the Yogi title theme song melody was certainly catchy and effective in its own right throughout the film, as in the jazzy variation heard in the “Brown Phantom” segment… Yogi is trying to pilfer some goodies from the tourists (of course, what else?). The irony in the story shortly afterwards is even he admits after a week of doing that without being caught or even suspected, that activity proved to be “a real drag” !

This film adaptation of the famous stage show was also colorful, and full of interesting pictorial styles and visual compositions.
