Yogi Bear meets a grim fate in this alternate ending

By Dave Davis

If you haven’t seen THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD, and you’re not one to take titles literally, then consider this a spoiler: Jesse James inevitably gets gunned down by Robert Ford (who is something of a coward).

Animator Edmund Earle is obviously a fan of the Brad Pitt film, and decided to make his own variation of its climactic betrayal in the style of the impending live-action/CGI family flick YOGI BEAR. The result is impressive and amusing, if kind of unnerving.

There’s already an interview with the parody’s creator at the Wall Street Journal. Wildfire!
