'''Ranger Smith''', also known as '''John''',<ref>''[[Hey There, It's Yogi Bear (film)|Hey There, It's Yogi Bear]]'' ([[1964]]).</ref> or '''Francis''',<ref>''[[Yogi Bear (segments)|Yogi Bear]]'': "[[Predaterminator]]", season 5, episode 25 ([[1988]]).</ref> is a park ranger and [[Yogi Bear (character)|Yogi Bear]]'s main antagonist in the ''[[Yogi Bear (franchise)|Yogi Bear]]'' animated franchise. His voice was originated by [[Don Messick]].


In the prequel series, ''[[Yo, Yogi!]]'', he is reinvisioned as a young mall officer at [[Jellystone Mall]]. This time he is voiced by [[Greg Burson]].
He is a stern authority figure who watches over [[Jellystone Park]], in contrast to his carefree rival Yogi. He disapproves of the bear for stealing picnic baskets from the guests.


In the ''[[Jellystone!]]'' reboot, Ranger Smith is president of the [[Jellystone Hospital]].
==Character description==
The physical appearance of Ranger Smith is of an adult man with fair skin and dark hair. He is commonly seen wearing a green park ranger's outfit, with a color-matching campaign hat and a badge.


==Character description==
Smith works as the head national park ranger in [[Jellystone Park]]. He is hardworking, straight-laced, mild-mannered, and is usually portrayed as a voice of authority who keeps the security of the park under control, and wants nothing more than to stop [[Yogi Bear (character)|Yogi Bear]] from breaking the park rules; especially when he steals picnic baskets from the park's guests, threatening to get rid of him by sending him off to some far off place like [[Sibera]]. In spite of his frustration with handling Yogi's eccentric schemes, Smith does not have a complete grudge against him, and actually just wants the best for him as long as he follows the rules. He is often supportive of Yogi when the situation calls for it.
The physical appearance of Ranger Smith is of a 30-something year old man with fair skin and dark hair. He is seen wearing a green park ranger's outfit, with a color-matching campaign hat and a badge to boot. Although these details have stayed with the character, Smith's exact design had been wildly inconsistent in his appearances on the original [[Yogi Bear (segments)|Yogi Bear segments]]. In many episodes, the ranger would look drastically different due to them being handled by different artists and animators.  


In the first season of ''[[The Huckleberry Hound Show]]'', there had been other park rangers who appeared with different looks; none of whom are named "Smith". From the second season onward, a character formally by the name of "Ranger Smith" came to be in the episode, ''"[[Lullabye-Bye Bear]]"''. The short (animated by [[George Nicholas]])<ref>[https://yowpyowp.blogspot.com/2011/01/many-lives-of-ranger-smith_05.html Yowp: The Many Lives of Ranger Smith] Retrieved September 26, 2022</ref> featured Smith in a design closely resembling his familiar look; but wore a beige suit instead of a green one. Episodes moving forward now have the ranger wearing his all-familiar color scheme, but strangely continued to be clashing in design from various animators working on the segments. When Ranger Smith became a fully-fledged character in ''[[The Yogi Bear Show]]'', he stuck closer to a model sheet at the time the show was made<ref>[https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ktxA0UY-ag8/VAG7ISd1ZMI/AAAAAAAAyMk/IlEtQ39EvAg/s1600/RANGER%2BSMITH%2BMODEL%2B1961.png A model sheet of Ranger Smith (dated April 1961)] Retrieved September 26, 2022.</ref>, especially in the last few episodes.
Smith also has a genuine sympathy for [[Boo Boo]] because he, unlike Yogi, is a bear who follows the rules closely at Jellystone Park.

Development

In the first season of The Huckleberry Hound Show, there were other unnamed park rangers who appeared; with each looking different from the last. From the second season onward, a character formally by the name of "Ranger Smith" came to be in the episode "Lullabye-Bye Bear." The short entry (animated by George Nicholas) featured Smith in a design closely resembling his final look; but wore a beige suit instead of a green one.[5]

Various original Yogi Bear episodes have the ranger wearing his all-familiar, green color scheme, but his character design strangely varied from different animators working on the segments. When Ranger Smith became a more prominent character in The Yogi Bear Show, the design of the character had stuck closer to his model sheet at the time the show was being made,[6] especially in the last batch of episodes.
