News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

[zipadee999]

Also to lighten up the topic, who’s your favorite country bear in history? Mine is the man, the myth, the legend, big al!

Our very own master of ceremonies, Henry H. Bear!

I hope at least vacation hoedown comes back for an anniversary or something someday at least, because no way the og ever comes back.

I so want “two different worlds” as a bit again.

Yes folks, we only have high class stuff in this show. Man I’m glad the bears are living on but I will MISS the original show.

I miss the show so much already.

Every time I rewatched there were people that burst out laughing after the Buford punchline. Waiting for it became part of the fun.

With the reveal of Shaker's new costume today, I figured I'd try to (roughly and quickly) photoshop Shaker and Wendell to resemble their animatronics more. I think Wendell definitely looks a lot less terrifying! Shaker looks great with the long fur on his face and less exposed skin too.

I feel like although I’m not against any new shows and like the new one, something will always be lost with the original. I will miss unhinged, unabashed, off color, Rocky horrror- cult vibe the og had. The country bears was never the most popular ride, but it had such a strong fan base and it was so much cooler bc of that.

I agree with you. I was hoping they would get a “facelift “ with the new show. Need Henry!

Disney World removes beloved character from park after 50 years over fears it could offend alcoholics

Disney World has removed a beloved character that has been a staple at the amusement park for over 50 years as the character was deemed “insensitive and outdated,” and could offend &#82…

Is this actually true the reasoning behind the name change? I know whatever the source might not be the greatest but just wondering…

I heard Critter Country may be the final outcome for Frontierland and Frontierland might be "moved" to BTTM

It’s weird enough that TBA, a human focused ride is being put into Critter Country at Disneyland. The fact that they might christen the concrete strip from bears to the New Orleans salt dome “Critter Country” is plain bizarre. Perhaps if they kept any of the critter houses or critter set theming in Splash it would make more sense. But nah, they got rid of it all for fake weeds. Even the animal figures in the ride feel like an afterthought.

They took portions of that one piece of concept art and cut it up for the poster, with a few changes. I wish they could have just drawn new art. The poster looks nice, but WHY did they just reuse Henry and others? Couldn't they have drawn something new?

i think a new orleans mini land would fit better for TBA that critter country

At WDW? Where would it start and end?

Like with carribbean plaza just around the TBA area. From the outpost to the train station

Never do nothing Ray Smale must be crying tears in his wine tonight.

His department had to pony up cash for the new Country Bear duds.

Who? What? I’m new to this?

It seems our new Henry is either David Loucks or A.J. LoCascio, going off the soundtrack album

If it’s A.J., he was also the guy who did figment in Disney speedstorm. Pretty interesting. Tbh I’m not a fan of his figment, I kidna like Dave’s voice better. Also gambit in x men 97.

I have to admit, they did a pretty good job with this and I am impressed especially with the lobby. The songs are super catchy and everything and got my feet stomping, and the audience clapping along even singing along at some points. I am going to take a point off for them not leaving in “Blood on the saddle” but hey, it is what it is! The Country Bears are here to stay and that’s what matters most!
Overall: 8/10

Also, unpopular opinion time - OLC PLEASE BRING THIS TO TOKYO DISNEYLAND I SWEAR!
