YOGI'S ARK LARK

Hanna-Barbera was the most prolific supplier of fare for the series. Their first entry, Yogi's Ark Lark (9/16/72), was the pilot for the weekly Yogi's Gang series.

Based loosely on the Biblical "Noah's Ark" tale, and featuring nearly every early animated star from the Hanna-Barbera stable, the story was given an ecological twist.

Yogi Bear and Boo Boo, joined by Magilla Gorilla, Wally Gator, Quick Draw McGraw and others, help Cap'n Noah in his quest to rid the world of environmental dangers while traveling around in a flying ark. Daws Butler, Don Messick, Allan Melvin and John Stephenson were among the voices.
