News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

[zipadee999]

The smoking fiddle was the best part. The opening song was ok. The rest was meh, at best.

Oh wait, I guess that's being negative.

It’s not as good as the original show which used smarter humor and real country music, but I’d take it over the butchered 2012 version and it’s probably the best ‘reimagining’ we’ve had in a while, so I’m still feeling generally positive about it. I can watch the POV find it enjoyable while still comparing it to the original, which is not something I can do with something like TBA.

The original country bear jamboree was lightning in a bottle. It was the perfect unique mix of many things that created an iconic experience. No overlay will come close to that. However, this is likely the best of the many overlays the show has received over the years, and is very much on par with vacation hoedown. Like vacation hoedown, it won’t be the genius, expertly crafted experience of the original, but it will be a fun, fresh take that’s certainly worth our time and appreciation in its own way!

You perfectly highlighted my feelings. “Lighting in a bottle” is a good term to describe CBJ ‘71.

I’d use that term for most of the classics like HM and POTC too! There are just some attractions that are just special in ways that we can’t really explain. They’re almost greater than the sum of their parts

Bob and Josh are counting on people not caring what they do but still going.

I'm not sure either will lose too much sleep about people who keep paying to go while cursing both of them in their mind throughout the day.

Yeah, just some elusive magic that is sorta unable to be captured!

Yeah, the smoking fiddle was good. But to nit-pick, I think it would've been better if had taken longer to smoke. It started quickly and just kind of kept doing the same thing. I think you gotta either build up to it or have the smoke get woefully out of hand.

Does Pete Renaday return to voice Henry in this? I believe he's still alive but he might be too old to reprise the role.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Jesus Christ. No wonder they get away with piling up the garbage.

…lol…please, Hammer, don’t hurt em

Sad to say that he didn’t, but he’s still alive and well and can still do his voice. Even came out for D23 Expo’s voices of the parks presentations too, numerous times , along with various videos featuring him, he’s also done numerous interviews with people in recent years. So yeah.. I really don’t get it. Will try to find out soon though. That or I hope the folks that created the new show can tell us why at some point.
In the end though, despite my befuddlement regarding that aspect.. I’m just glad the bears weren’t axed entirely and that the AAs were enhanced tastefully internally and fur wise.

That sucks. I'm sure there's some internal reason why they didn't go with him, whether or not I agree with it is up for debate.

After viewing the videos of the new show, I was surprised how good it was. Tiana's Bayou Adventure should have been done with such care for what came before it.

I gave an honest opinion, and yes, it's critical. If you want sunshine and unicorns around everything Disney does, there are other sites for that.

Next time, read the whole post to get a clear picture of what is being said.

Nothing, @Starship824 and I were waiting to see who would be the first one following the outpouring of positivity. Since that’s such a rarity to see agreement/positive on a new addition.

With thousands and thousands of Disney music they owned my only gripe is why they needed to pick the same songs they use over and over. The Whole new World is so out of place. Music that came from some of Disney animated movies that have bombed in theaters were sometimes more popular than the movies and could have been used.

Nah. You were waiting to pounce on anything you saw as negative, that's why it took you both less than 5 minutes to post the exact same thing. It's as obvious as a 2-week dead fish.

 

[OptimusPrime]

The thing with Davy and Following the Leader is that most people probably don’t know about the lyrics. That and racism against Indigenous people not being the “in thing” rn. Whatever the reason, there’s no excuse for Disney. It’s baffling hypocrisy.

Oh this too 100%.

There is no reason why i should be able to buy t shirts and dolls of a REAL PERSON marketed as a Disney Princess, especially with how they did the movie based on a real person.

They paid for those songs so they need to get some kind of return from them......

That’s funny, I remember being pretty mixed on a ton of new additions like Bayou Adventure. Maybe my mind is slipping though.

 

[BrerFoxesBayouAdventure]

Overall I have no idea how to feel about this show, the gag of Ernest's fiddle catching fire is funny and I liked the nods to the original show. Was really cute.

Fixer-Upper being in there felt like some kind of mandate, like the show HAD to have a song from Frozen but they didn't want to put Let It Go in there.

Funny earlier I mentioned Romeo doing rockabilly was like him doing his old Elvis impression. And he ends up singing Kiss The Girl in an Elvis-like fashion.

 

[Magicart87]

I liked it. I was smiling as I watched the video. Only good vibes. Looks like the audience had fun. I'm calling it a success.
