#8: Yogi Bear: Names Etc.
You’d be surprised to learn how many fan theories surrounding the Yogi Bear movie are out there. According to this person, the different appearances of Ranger Smith aren’t continuity errors but rather represent a succession of rangers who, one after another, realize the futility of enforcing human laws in the face of the untamed natural world.
They all happen to be named “Smith,” either by pure coincidence (it’s a common name, after all) or because Yogi, while being smarter than the average bear, is not particularly discerning when it comes to human distinctions. The ever-changing Rangers Smith are symbolic of humanity’s struggle to impose order on nature and Yogi’s irreverent attitude toward human authority, making the series even more intriguing for fans.
