When America does an unnecessary remake of a bear story, we get the loud, obnoxious and creatively bankrupt Yogi bear (2010).
When the UK does an unnecessary remake of a bear story, we get a charming, simple and even smart Paddington bear.
But on the other hand, Paddington was at its core much more sophisticated and intelligent both as a book and an animated series, than Yogi bear was as just a crummy, unfunny cartoon. (Seriously, those Hannah Barbara cartoons weren't as funny as you think they are.) So maybe the comparison wasn't fair from the start.
