Mayor R. Brown is the main antagonist of the 2010 family film Yogi Bear.
He is a greedy and corrupt mayor and was obsessed with cutting down all the trees in Jellystone Park and he is the sworn enemy of Ranger Smith, Ranger Jones, Yogi and Boo-Boo Bear.
He was portrayed by Andy Daly, who later played Principal Dwight in Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life and Two-Face in Harley Quinn.
Biography[]
Mayor Brown is depicted as a corrupt and greedy politician who wishes to dispose of Jellystone Park in order to strike a deal with an agricultural company that will in turn grant every citizen in his town a thousand dollars, granting Mayor Brown the chance to effectively buy votes in his campaign to become governor.
He also apparently sold most of the city's property just to make a quick buck such as selling the local golf course to condo developers, draining the entire lake to make bottled water (causing the inevitable sinkhole to become a dumping ground), turned two of the three fire stations into ice cream parlors, and would have turned the library into a make-your-own-donut place, had it not burned down (most likely due to the city now only having a single fire station instead of three).
Mayor Brown tries to bully the park rangers into leaving their park then manipulates the gullible second-in-command ranger, Jones, to do his bidding, sabotaging the efforts of Yogi and friends to save the park.
Mayor Brown then orders the park to be shut down, despite the fact it will take hundreds of years for the forest to grow back - in order to further humiliate Ranger Smith for standing up to him, Brown demotes the ranger to working in a tiny little "park" situated in a busy city.
Yogi and Boo Boo soon track Ranger Smith down and Yogi manages to convince him to fight for Jellystone Park after telling him about the mass deforestation - which sparks Smith's pride and determination.
The group, along with Rachel, then go in search of an endangered (fictional) turtle known as the Frog-Mouthed Turtle, which if found would force Mayor Brown to stop the destruction of the park under federal law.
Learning of this, Mayor Brown has his army of thugs chase down the turtle and a madcap battle ensues in which the turtle passes continually between Yogi and friends as well as Mayor Brown's henchmen.
As this is occurring Mayor Brown prepares for his election speech, gather a large crowd and playing the "nice guy" for the crowds.
When Ranger Smith, Yogi and the others arrive with the turtle, but Mayor Brown doesn't care - going as far as saying out loud that he cared only for power and was quite happy to break the law. He then has the turtle removed and dares Ranger Smith to tell the crowds, since with no evidence it would be impossible.
Feeling that he had won, Mayor Brown went on stage to begin his speech, playing an electoral video showing how good a man he was - which Yogi and his friends sabotage by playing footage of the Mayor's previous taunt (which was caught by Boo Boo's camcorder tie, which was part of a documentary experiment Boo-Boo had apparently forgotten about in all the chaos), about how he doesn't care about an endangered "frog-mouthed turtle" or the park and that the only thing he cares about is power. He also claimed that nobody will ever believe the turtle's existence.
Mayor Brown panicked as the footage was shown, causing the crowds to grow hostile as he tried to claim there was no such thing as an endangered turtle - only for the turtle to appear on stage, having managed to escape itself from the Mayor's somewhat slow-witted right-hand man, revealing the mayor's true nature.
With this, Mayor Brown was overwhelmed by the crowds of mad would-be-voters, police cops and reporters. It is presumed that he was impeached as mayor and is now facing criminal charges.
