Yogi Bear

Plots: A documentary filmmaker travels to Jellystone Park to shoot a project and soon crosses paths with Yogi Bear, his sidekick Boo-Boo and Ranger Smith. Jellystone Park is celebrating its 100th anniversary, however it may be for the last time, because attendance is down and Mayor Brown wants to close the park and sell the land. If the park is closed, Yogi Bear and Boo Boo will lose their home. They join forces with Ranger Smith to save Jellystone from closing forever. Yogi must really prove in this endeavor that he is “smarter than the average bear”. Head Ranger Smith runs Jellystone natural park neatly -apart from Yogi’s stunts- loyally assisted by simpleton trainee ranger Jones, a boy-scout who wants the real work, not just folding maps and cleaning up. Mayor Brown however needs cash to turn over the budget deficit and spoil the voters to run for governor, so he jumps at his sycophantic chef of staff’s idea to rezone the park and sell it as farm land. That’s possible under city bylaws if the park runs a deficit, as every year before. The rangers and bears, joined by nature documentary maker Rachel, who proves a romantic match for Smith, desperately seek to achieve a budget surplus in the last fiscal week. They rely on the park’s centenary to sell season tickets, but the mayor bribes Jones to sabotage the festival and become the new head ranger. Once that’s done, only a natural deus-ex-machina which nobody noticed before can save the park.
