Made in 1953, "Little Smokey" tells the story of Smokey the Bear, as told by cowboy actor William Boyd, also known as Hopalong Cassidy.
Smokey Bear is an American advertising icon created by the U.S. Forest Service with artist Albert Staehle, possibly in collaboration with writer and art critic Harold Rosenberg. In the longest-running public service advertising campaign in United States history, the Ad Council, the United States Forest Service (USFS), and the National Association of State Foresters (NASF) employ Smokey Bear to educate the public about the dangers of unplanned human-caused wildfires.
A campaign featuring Smokey and the slogan "Smokey Says - Care Will Prevent 9 out of 10 Forest Fires" began in 1944. His later slogan, "Remember... Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires" was created in 1947 and was associated with Smokey Bear for more than five decades. In April 2001, the message was officially updated to "Only You Can Prevent Wildfires." in response to a massive outbreak of wildfires in natural areas other than forests (such as grasslands), and to clarify that Smokey is promoting the prevention of unplanned outdoor fire versus prescribed fires. According to the Ad Council, 80% of outdoor recreationists correctly identified Smokey Bear's image and 8 in 10 recognized the campaign PSAs.
In 1952, the songwriters Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins had a successful song named "Smokey the Bear" which was performed by Eddy Arnold. The pair said "the" was added to Smokey's name to keep the song's rhythm. During the 1950s, that variant of the name became widespread both in popular speech and in print, including at least one standard encyclopedia, though Smokey Bear's name never officially changed. A 1955 book in the Little Golden Books series was called Smokey the Bear and he calls himself by this name in the book. It depicted him as an orphaned cub rescued in the aftermath of a forest fire, which loosely follows Smokey Bear's true story. From the beginning, his name was intentionally spelled differently from the adjective "smoky".

Retired wildland firefighter here. Smokey bear is a hero of mine. All my kids know his story and song.
Back in the 1960s and 70s my father and I were part of a volunteer forest fighter service under NJ forest fighter Frank Scardo. My father also had the privilege to dress up as Smokey in a few town parades. And twice I got to dress as Smokey so my father could tell stories to the kids who lived next door. I remember Frank always had a Plack of Smokey on the Power Wagon fire truck A2. Smokey The Bear and all he stands for will always be part of me.
Nice story. Smokey is an icon. And the cause is so important.
Five years ago when I was we had to evacuate from a forest fire and we moved to Tennessee after 2 years
My father took me up to Lincoln back in the early 1950's to visit Smokey The Bear.
I remember watching this in school, first grade, 1957.

Poor lil bear cub. When it comes fire pit safety I'm a fanatic.
I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome Historical video with me .
Awesome so thats where smoky the bear comes from.
Wow! Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Poor bear. Nearly killed by a careless person then locked up in a cage.
Yep, thats the government for you, rescue and then in the cage for life you go.
It is possible he couldn't be returned to the wild. It was likely bear biology was in its infancy and likely couldn't teach him skills to be a wild bear.
i would die for him
Rachel Moody He did the same for you!
Better to live and carry out his work
