It's about a bear who escaped a lab whose experiments made him “smarter than the average bear” as he tries to survive in the wilderness (That he’s only now seeing for the first time) by eating camper's leftovers. All the while constantly evading the relentless Ranger Smith, a corrupt park official hired/bribed by the lab to track him down, capture, and return him.
that was also me, I recently watched chipmunks 4 and it unlocked the repressed memories of all the various childrens movies that baby got back was used in. Yogi bear was the earliest one I remember seeing twerking though
edit I've been doing a bit of digging and it goes deeper than I thought:
heres the yogi bear scene
the alvin and the chipmunks scene
I vaguely remember this bit from shark tale
apparently it was in the second scooby doo live action film
Bill Nye did a cover
even fucking Target did their own version
the spongebob squarepants burger king version is a literal fever dream
early corporate twitter
teen titans go
it was in the simpsons in one of the treehouse of terror segments
scary movie 4 did a rare crossover of a matrix reference and baby got back
it was in friends as well
apparently it was in the home release of shrek but I'm not sure of that because the only video I could find was pretty low quality and sounded kind of like it was someone doing an impression of donkey
