What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

Picnic baskets, season passes, and park promotion appear in the story, but there is no indication of sustained brand promotion.

Strong language1/5
Why this rating?

Mild insults or exclamations may occur, but no strong or offensive language.

Romance1/5
Why this rating?

Contains a G-rated subplot involving a budding romance between Ranger Smith and a filmmaker, leading to a brief embrace.

Frightening scenes2/5
Why this rating?

Very mild tension as the park faces destruction; nothing intended to frighten children.

Violence2/5
Why this rating?

Features mild slapstick physical comedy, such as characters tripping or accidents, consistent with the Yogi Bear franchise.

What’s good in it?

Courage & resilience2/5
Why this rating?

Characters demonstrate the bravery to fight for their home despite obstacles.

Creativity & curiosity2/5
Why this rating?

The film uses inventive schemes, documentary tools, performances, disguises, and problem-solving to protect Jellystone Park.

Diverse representation1/5
Why this rating?

Standard ensemble cast with varied professional roles.

Educational value1/5
Why this rating?

The story offers light environmental and civic lessons about parks, endangered species, corruption, and public accountability.

Kindness & empathy3/5
Why this rating?

Emphasis on working together to save the park and protecting a small creature.

Positive messages4/5
Why this rating?

Strong positive messages support protecting nature, resisting corruption and greed, telling the truth, repairing friendships, and working together for the community.

Good role models2/5
Why this rating?

Smith, Rachel, Boo-Boo, and eventually Jones act responsibly; Yogi's stealing and impulsiveness are comic flaws rather than ideal behavior.
