Im a huge fan of Chris Thile,,,,but whole new world just no......as a separate thought it annoys me that Disney and Imagineering has to insert outside famous people all the time now into everything they do to try and be hip,,,this and along with tiana,,,,,instead of creating songs and music themselves. They have to have others now to show off in their blog videos to make it look like they are being modern trendy. if that makes any sense. does it? maybe not to some but anyone get what Im trying to describe lol?

Country Bear Musical Jamboree


As we near the opening of Country Bear Musical Jamboree this summer at Walt Disney World, Imagineers have been hard at work preparing the new Disney tunes you will soon hear! Country Bear Musical Jamboree will include easter eggs from the beginning to the end, including a familiar tune fans may remember, the bears will sing new, reinterpreted Disney songs in different genres of country music โ€” like bluegrass, pop-country, Americana, rockabilly and other styles.


Among the many songs coming to the showโ€™s new rendition are โ€œTry Everythingโ€ and โ€œA Whole New Worldโ€ from the Walt Disney Animation Studios films โ€œZootopiaโ€ and โ€œAladdin.โ€ Itโ€™s a full-blown hoedown featuring a new spin on the songs like youโ€™ve never heard before โ€” complete with fiddles, mandolins, banjos and more!

Paying homage to the musical revues of Nashville, Imagineers worked alongside record-breaking 10-time CMA Musician of the Year, Mac McAnally, on the music โ€” McAnally is a member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, Mississippi Musicians Hall of Fame and Alabama Music Hall of Fame. For the voice of the beloved bear, Trixie St. Claire, country singer Emily Ann Roberts added her twangy vocals to โ€œTry Everything.โ€ Allison Russell and Christopher Scott Thile slowed things down a bit with a mandolin-style of โ€œA Whole New Worldโ€ for Wendell and Teddi Barra.

โ€œIโ€™ve never done anything like this, where the song is truly coming to life before folksโ€™ eyes,โ€ shared Emily Ann. โ€œIt was really neat to hear the whole concept and then being able to stand behind the mic and think โ€˜how do I put myself in Trixieโ€™s shoes?โ€™โ€

Why wouldnโ€™t it be? It wasnโ€™t there for Vacation or Christmas. This is a different show with different costumes and props. I donโ€™t want to see any carry over from the original other than the characters.
It was always a cool effect. I'll miss it. The original show is likely not coming back. I think it's wishful thinking to believe otherwise.

Just another sign that the world has collectively lost its ever-loving mind. Insanity. But what else should we expect from anything or anyone at this point. And true to form, current Disney management is leading the charge.

Sorry, lousy day for Toad. But CBJ's transition to yet another advertisement for the Disney "brand" is further proof management are totally oblivious or just don't care.

The Disney parks/resorts used to be their own brands (WDW and Disneyland being similar but unique brands all their own before the disastrous "Disney Parks" branding took over).

I would argue Disneyland and WDW were the most powerful and consistently successful brands the company has ever had. Wildly profitable and much more consistently popular year after year, decade after decade, than the company's movie studios and/or networks ever were. They were both almost universally beloved multi-generational destinations, wonders of architecture and forward thinking... in short, national treasures and wonders of the modern world. THAT was the brand-- real places with their own identities and unique unparalleled creative offerings... things you literally couldn't experience anywhere else.

It just puzzles and infuriates me that this company is gleefully forging full speed ahead destroying two of the most amazing brands *any* corporation has ever had or will ever have. Destroying these brands to promote and shore up intellectual properties from its other less successful brands.

Why oh why do I (or anyone else) need to spend thousands of dollars and jump through endless logistical hoops, confusing apps and extortive upsells just to experience yet *another* musical commercial for Disney movies, filled with songs I can hear anywhere, anytime for a fraction of the cost? What is unique, spectacular, heartwarming, sincere, authentic, or immersive about that?

CBJ was a classic that tied at least three generations of my family together. Big Al always reminded us fondly of our favorite uncle because he was a big teddy bear at heart. We loved watching the show with him and, visiting CBJ in later years, we always shed a happy tear in remembrance of him after he passed on.

Multigenerational family visits, true magical memories and a unique environment lovingly crafted with a sense of sincere optimism. *That* is what the WDW brand used to offer. Today's synergistic celebrations of over-exposed IP are vapid, plastic, easily disposable and entirely forgettable by comparison.

And yes, go ahead and accuse me of being hyperbolistic if you want to as I really don't care. Again, kind of a lousy day.๐Ÿ™‚

(Applause)

THIS, 150%.

Beautifully and honestly stated.
Facts.

Folks, read the above quoted comments again.

Nailed it.
I love me some โ€˜lousy day Toadโ€™.

I always loved the Riders in the Sky rendition of Youโ€™ve Got a Friend in Me. Itโ€™s a good fit for the Country Bears.

Oh my, I've never disagreed with you so much. The Country Bears were good as they were. Try Everything is the worst one, but at least we're not sick of it...yet.

This IP invasion is extremely annoying.

What I really want to see from this show is (Spoiler Alert just in case Iโ€™m accidentally right)
Big Al comes on near the end and starts singing the first couple lines of โ€œPart of Your Worldโ€ or โ€œLet it Goโ€, then stops, drawls, โ€œTa hell with this,โ€ and then just sings โ€œBlood on the Saddleโ€ again. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I dare them to do this.
This needs to happen.
