Yes - that part is a potential downer but not surprising. That said, I'm going to give it a chance. Also, it doesn't mean it will be all Disney songs. Plus, if we are being honest, it's not terribly realistic to not to expect to hear Disney music in an attraction these days. This isn't 1955 or 1971 when they had only had a relatively small number of viable feature films to reference. I appreciate original content as much as everyone but there are ways to present things that have been done before in a new light as they can give life to "older" material - see Happily Ever After (yes, to kids today stuff from the 90s and first decade of the 2000s is old). The problem is when every attraction and show features the same, predictable songs.definitely agree - though it could have been updated to new original songs, not covers of Disney songs
but defintiely could be worse
He's on the poster so it's safe to say Big Al stays
I'm gonna disagree and say that I actually liked it better when the expectation was that CBJ was going to be axed entirely, at when this is the alternative. Having the bears still there but singing some stupid, irrelevant Disney songs is a giant middle finger to the attraction's fans.Country Bear Jamboree is a brilliant attraction and a Marc Davis classic. I’m grateful it’s not being completely destroyed. The shows already been butchered and had its heart taken out years ago. Am I happy they’re removing the country music, especially for Disney songs? Not at all. I don’t want to see Teddy Bara singing “Let It Go,” or Liverlips sing that Encanto song, but I’m happy the attraction is staying and I hope this show’s such a success they bring it back to Disneyland.
Bingo.No words, other than it was probably this or the chopping block.
In a different Disney, the show could have simply been adapted to fit today's cultural sensitivities, while still maintaining originality. However, in this Disney where everything has to be an IP tie in or it isn't funded, it was either IP Bears, or it gets cut entirely for something completely different with IP.So I guess it was inevitable. Songs about blood, shooting kids, innuendo, and three bears singing about needing a man, just wasnt going to cut it in this new culture.
They still can though. Probably will bring back the holiday version this year... I hope.Tokyo hasn't even brought back the holiday or vacation overlay, probably due to being cheap. They're practically just as bad for not bringing back those overlays.
I think this is true. But it really speaks more about the problems with “the current culture at Disney” than with CBJI think if people were being honest with themselves, they'd realize that keeping the show with the current songs in today's society was not an option - especially not with the current culture at Disney.

I’m pretty sure the song was about shooting a dog…So I guess it was inevitable. Songs about blood, shooting kids, innuendo, and three bears singing about needing a man, just wasnt going to cut it in this new culture.
This. It’s one of my favorite attractions - partly because it seems so wrong to be at Disney World (“for kids”) hearing “blood on the saddle and blood all around!” That’s horrifying (and I love it.) But you had to know the days were numbered for songs about what today is considered child abuse that could have your kids taken away.I am actually ok with this. I know some people are attached to the original songs, but it's time for an update.
Oh, come now.No chance this will actually be good. Or funny.
Let's meet again in 2024 to discuss how it goes.Oh, come now.
