Smokey the Bear stands behind a group of people looking from a scenic overlook at a picturesque lake. He points at them as he looks toward the camera. Caption below reads: “Watch me eat this family”

Wasn’t there a whole ad campaign disabusing us of the term “Smokey the Bear” in favor of “Smokey Bear”, or am I just drunk?
Wikipedia doesn’t mention it. Apparently the “the” was added because it fit the rhythm of a song, so the name “Smokey the Bear” became popular. Both get used frequently.
I’m sure there’s internet pedants that will come out of nowhere to correct anyone that calls him “Smokey the Bear” tho since apparently “Smokey Bear” is the official name.
