At this point, I assume there’s only two reasons he hasn’t returned: that rumor about them wanting his name consistent worldwide is true, or they just don’t want to spend money redoing his costume. My money is on the latter.
Something tells me that they're going to have to update the show in Tokyo if they want that name consistent.
Zip A Dee Doo Dah would be a great fit for the Country Bears. But I don't blame Disney for cutting it. After 2020 there was a renewed scrutiny for anything remotely connected to SOTS and if the song was part of the show there would be clickbaity articles and Twitter users complaining about it and condemning the company for profiting off of SOTS.
I'd be shocked if they still have either costume, but I'd LOVE to see Henry and Teddi.I know they have updated the bears outfits for M&G's but, couldn't they bring out the rarest of the bears like Henry for example..They had made one for Disney on Parade..Along with the Sun bonnets.
But, if turns out..There was a Teddi Beara character as well...Shame they aren't out..

Do you mean You’ve got a Friend in Me?
Yes…. Although the 2 have been plopped together so much they are practically the same song now! Haha.
From what I've heard, they tried to keep Sammy as a hat, but couldn't get it to work with Henry's new cowboy hat. Having him behind the amp was a compromise to keep him in the show instead of cutting him altogether.
The Five Bear Rugs were done dirty in this new show. Bear-ly any showtime.
They could’ve at least played backup for some of the other bears like they did with Ernest in the OG show
Or they could've had the gag of them running around backstage like they did from the skunk in Vacation Hoedown
