The bulk of the special is devoted to two tales, one featuring Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo Bear, and the other starring Magilla Gorilla. It is animated with bright colors, stylized character designs and a more flat style compared to the previous television films, and musically scored by veteran animation composer Steven Bernstein, showing strong influence from the high-budget Warner Bros. Animation and Steven Spielberg cartoons of that era, Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs.
This would prove to be the last time in which Don Messick voices Scooby-Doo and Boo Boo before his retirement in 1996 (though he would voice Scooby-Doo one more time in the Scooby-Doo Mystery video game),[1] the last in which Allan Melvin voices Magilla Gorilla (as well as his last film role), and also would be the last time Greg Burson voiced Yogi officially before being arrested and blacklisted in 2004 (though he would briefly voice him one more time in the parody short, A Day in the Life of Ranger Smith).
