News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

[Figments Friend]

You’re probably right. I have to wonder if they still have to pay some kind of royalty to their own songwriters, even if Disney owns the music itself.

Depends on the individual contracts.
In many cases, a royalty fee is collected and distributed to both the owner of the audio recording rights as well as the songwriter rights.

So for example, say a song like ‘On The Road Again’ by Willie Nelson.
The record company that owns the audio recording rights will be paid, as well as Mr. Nelson if he still owns the song writing rights.

Yassssss….that would be EPIC!

I dare him to show up….!!

Better yet, he’s the cast member that closes the last show

They could get a streetmosphere as him telling guests to tear down country bear hall...

It's also an obvious change, but I wonder if they'll replace the CBJ poster under the train station at the entrance with the new one we've seen with the Opening 2024 replaced with Frontierland or something.

Well, they did it for the other versions..So, that very well be the new poster for for attraction..

Well you’re the one that got that Epcot thing going once upon a time. Start making tweets!

While would be fun, no way Disney would want to pay for the licensing rights to play music that isn’t their own.

A few examples -
Aerosmith
Life is a highway,
spirit of the season,
Guardians of Galaxy attractions,
Illuminations pre-show music

While the version from Cars is a cover, and I’m sure they pay (minor) royalties to the original writer, the song was recorded by Rascal Flats for the cars soundtrack

Or at least they did in Tokyo, last I went in the 2000s when they ran the Christmas Special WDW didn't seem to have a poster for it.

I hope we get some new merch for the bears out of this. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, Tokyo at least gives the bears some love with Sun Bonnet plushes and new art that doesn't directly copy the stock Marc Davis images,

For example, for Tokyo DL's 2024 wall calendar, August's image is some great brand new art of the bears at the beach.
I honestly prefer how Tokyo's artists draw Teddi and the Sun Bonnets, they look a lot cuter than in the Marc Davis art.
Plus all the sepia tone pictures that Tokyo did of the bears that we never got here in the US!

The Harry Potter theme!

Music licensing and royalties can be weird because it’s not like other content. There is already an established framework of crediting and paying different people for different roles. It’s part of what allows covers.

Exactly - and they have to use that established framework already for the music they own themselves.

Well, it was better than their other song...."Walk The Llama Llama"
Yes, folks this does exists..

The OG is Tom Cochrane…the song was released in 1991…

 

[celluloid]

Ah yes, Frontierland...a place for 1920s Food Co-Ops and songs about highways.

I said in my post that it’s a cover. They probably paid the songwriter a flat fee or, minor royalties.

Yeah, I know you said it was a cover…I just gave the name of the original artist…sheesh…

Why do you think that?

No worries

My favorite was always the Country Bear Vacation Hoedown segment featuring Wendell’s version of Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again,” accompanying a slideshow of the Country Bear’s summer road trip and the car trouble they had with their 1930s convertible sedan along the way.
