Ranger Gord's Educational Films

Ranger Gord's Educational Films, retitled Ranger Gord's Wilderness Safety Tips in Season 13, are a series of animated cartoon segments created, written, produced, directed, animated and voiced by Ranger Gord. (Gord conceitedly "milks" this fact to a hilariously-absurd degree, utilizing multiple "self-puffery" title-cards in each film's "opening credits", such as, "Ranger Gord presents: Ranger Gord in: Ranger Gord's Educational Films. Written, drawn, voiced, and animated by Ranger Gord. Starring Ranger Gord". ) In these cartoons, Gord appears as a muscle-bound superhero-type, and Red and Harold are pictured as a possum and a beaver, respectively, due to Red's being the Possum Lodge leader, and Harold's having overbite. In "Rock Eggs", Dalton Humphrey and Mike Hamar also make animated appearances as a bear (due to his having a somewhat macho/overbearing demeanor) and a raccoon (because he's a "sneaky little bandit", as raccoons are viewed as being when on the prowl for an easy meal), respectively. Each cartoon deals with some purportedly educational concept, such as finding one's way out of a forest ("A Sign") or defending one's self from a sasquatch ("Big Foot Defence"). However, virtually every cartoon takes a comedic turn as Gord shows off his enormous ego, usually at Red and Harold's expense. A total of 23 cartoons were produced between the ninth and thirteenth seasons.
