News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

[WDWFREAK53]

If you're thinking of the Swift song, there's rumors they wanted her to be in the show. I don't know how far it got but thank heavens she wasn't.

At least she was still "country" back when that song came out. Can't say it wouldn't be a popular add.
Certainly would hit better than Try Anything. Is a Shakira song better?

I wonder if my proposed joke from earlier in the thread about Big Al badly singing Let It Go, but it's about his wife running of with his dog and truck would have fit more than the short Remember Me bit we actually got.

("My wife ran off with my hound dawwwwwwg
And muh pick-up truuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck" as Al's head comedically shakes as he draws out that note)

At least that would have made Al more in line with the songs he did in the Christmas and Vacation shows.

Having Al sing a genuinely moving, mournful song like Remember Me misses the point of both the song and the character.

I watched a couple videos on this and I like it. Country Bears was a one and done show for me, the music just didn't appeal to me. I think this keeps the spirit of the original attraction, but it adds music that more people will identify with so should attract more guests which is a win for the park.

I really don't think this moves the needle on how many guests are watching long-term. Like I said earlier, there will be a temporary boost. But it will return to its previous level of attendance.

Agree, frankly a minor bump long-term if any vs if they would just have regularly rotated the significantly better original, Vacation, and Christmas versions.

I’m still hopeful that having the updated figures means we might get seasonal shows again in a few years

I guess this is great for six year olds... but part of the charm of the Country Bears was the music and humor that could be appreciated by all ages.

I mean this 50 second clip is better than the entirety of the new show.

Yeah but that’s not Girl Boss enough

Not a main land now. OK.

It's not an outside IP driven theme park land though. Ha.That was the point anyway.
Disney would not do that these days.

As evident by them taking originals and putting outside movie studios IP in.

I disagree. I think Disney would make a non specific IP based entrance hub to a new park again.

Perhaps. But we also have proof otherwise and a new park stateside has not been made in decades.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but I really enjoyed the gag with Big Al blowing his nose in the curtains. I’m surprised to see modern Disney do a gross out gag like that!

Stay classy, Disney,

Maybe the POVs I've watched make it hard to hear, but is there any set up to Big Al going "Oof!" and falling through the stage? The original worked because he was 'drunk' but it doesn't seem like the moonshine bottles are still around him. Maybe that's him dying of a broken heart at how sad Remember Me is?

There’s still a moonshine bottle next to him

Proof?

Proof?

I’m guessing Mickey Avenue in Shanghai.

Ah. I guess.. but its only in the name. Its not like you're walking through a toontown entrance.

I love how they programmed the triplets for when Big Al comes back at the very end, they are like "what the?!" and one even gestures to her sisters to look.

I'm honestly starting to think it's strange that I didn't hate the show.

That feeling is referred to as “Stockholm Syndrome”.
