I’m trying out a new segment here on FilmDrunk, “Who trailer’d it better?”  I plan to use it whenever I want to combine two trailers into one post.  Today, we’ve got Yogi Bear and Titanic 2.

Yogi Bear
YogiBear-DancePartyDan Aykroyd does the introduction and he seems reeeally happy to be here.  In any case, we see that they’ve given Yogi the live-action CG mix treatment, a la Alvin & the Chipmunks and Furry Vengeance.  Aykroyd’s Yogi voice is a little different than the one you’re used to, sort of a cross between Rodney Dangerfield and an old Rabbi, though the CGI bear seems to have all Rodney’s mannerisms. Is it wrong that I was hoping he’d punch a girl?  Based on Nic Cage’s performance in Wicker Man, I’d just assumed that’s what bears do.  Anyway, it took them almost 40 seconds to get to a CGI animal, hip-hop dance scene, compared to 38 seconds for Beverly Hills Chihuahua and 22 for Alvin and the Chipmunks 2.  I am never, ever going to get back the 15 minutes I spent calculating that.

Titanic 2
With a title like that, it has to be good!  From the studio that brought you Transmorphers and Snakes on a Train!

100 years after the maiden voyage of the original, they’ve built another Unsinkable ship, the “SS Titanic 2.”  But then, wouldn’t you know it… actually, I’m just going to let the awesome dialog handle this plot point:

“It looks like history… is repeating itself.

Oh. My. God.  So let me get this straight, the boat SINKS?   I could’ve done without that spoiler in the trailer, you know.  Sell the sizzle not the steak, jerks.

So how say you, Drunkards?  Who trailer’d it better?
