I like this version more than the original. The original didn’t do much for me.Made it on the new Zootopia ride in Shanghai last week, at one point you ride through a room with the gazelle (?) singing Try Everything, and I was pleasantly reminded of the Trixie slideshow (which I find very charming and on-bear-brand, as someone who grew up with the Vacation Hoedown at DLR). I know it’s not especially popular on this board, but my children loved Try Everything in the new version of the show and I really like the message (which is a variation on the class Disney theme of believing in your dreams).
We listened to the album release before we could get to FL to see it live and we were THRILLED by the surprise of Fixer Upper having lyrics in the show— but I agree it should be on the recording.So I did buy the album as a man of my word and I did enjoy it but I have 3 complaints:
1. For some reason “Fixer Upper” is purely instrumental. This is one of my most liked song selections from the show purely because they went for a song that would fit the show better rather than using a song for its own popularity.
2. No full version of Big Al doing “Remember Me.”
3. This one is a little more subjective but I would’ve liked if the album included all the speaking parts to almost make it feel like a live show recording. As it stands the album only lasts 19 minutes so I would’ve liked that inclusion personally.

Bare Necessities is a great song but it’s terribly misused as the closing number - it has absolutely none of the energy of its predecessor. It’s very intentionally laid back and relaxed. It was stuck in that spot because it’s the most recognizable song from a Disney film IP that mentions “bears.” No more thought was given to it .Experienced the show for a second time yesterday and I’ll just say this: I’d be far more tempted to buy an album featuring full versions of these cover songs over “A Whole New Sound.” I’m really starting to like the energy the country artists gave these songs even more than before. Bear Necessities continues to be a perfect closer for the show.
Alligns with this.Overall it is a successful edition for the Bears.
The personalities were the point. Otherwise it’s just overplayed music and furry robots.My biggest gripe is that you never really get a strong sense of each character's individual personalities. They're all a bit too homogenous for my liking.
I honestly don’t understand how this sentence
