And lo, as the sun set upon the land, a great gathering of people did assemble at the hallowed grounds of the one and only, original Country Bear Jamboree. There, in the midst of Americana, a cherished musical heritage of yore was celebrated with fervor and reverence. And it came to pass that a sordid assortment of executioners of music and song, known as The Five Bear Rugs, took their place upon the stage. And a voice cried out, "Hit it, boys!" And so, the sweet melodies of the past filled the air, bringing joy and merriment to all who had gathered to partake in this sacred spectacle.

There's always someone in the AI painting that haunts my dreams. I can't decide between these two.

Semi-related- I saw The Wild Robot last night and there was a gag in there of a living Davy Crockett hat (as seen in the picture, it looks like a hat before the raccoon sticks its head up). Given the director Chris Sanders comes from Disney and is a parks fan, could this be more than a coincidence?

So I did buy the album as a man of my word and I did enjoy it but I have 3 complaints:

1. For some reason “Fixer Upper” is purely instrumental. This is one of my most liked song selections from the show purely because they went for a song that would fit the show better rather than using a song for its own popularity.

2. No full version of Big Al doing “Remember Me.”

3. This one is a little more subjective but I would’ve liked if the album included all the speaking parts to almost make it feel like a live show recording. As it stands the album only lasts 19 minutes so I would’ve liked that inclusion personally.

Yeah, my main issue with the album is that a lot of the songs are different from the show. I think nearly every track has some difference-
  • Country Bear Musical Jamboree and You've Got a Friend in Me have a different VA for Henry
  • Try Everything (iirc) lacks the backing vocals in some spots, or its turned down really quiet
  • Kiss the Girl lacks the backing vocals by the trophy heads
  • Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is slightly slower on the album
  • A Whole New World has an entirely different voice performance for Wendell (same VA, different voice acting style)
  • Fixer Upper is entirely instrumental
  • Remember Me is entirely missing
And on a partially related note, Bare Necessities is the full song- who do we think is supposed to be singing the "fall apart in my back yard" segment? A solo performance by a deep voice sounds like it's meant for Big Al, but the voice sounds closer to Shaker's new voice (plus in my head having Shaker sing about his "back yard" is funny). Would they really give Shaker a solo in the grand finale?

How does this religeon work? If you sin too much, do you get set to Winnie the Pooh at Disneyland or the rumored “woodys roundup marionette show at mk” when you die?

Yeah, Hell for the CBJ Religion is a realm full of Woody marionette imps and Bob Chapek in a cheap devil costume, eternally poking you with a rubber pitchfork and saying "I told you I was gonna do it" over and over.

There's 100% a recording of it by the new VA sitting around in Imagineering's file storage somewhere.

Blood on the Saddle was never meant to be in the CBMJ, and no such recording exists. You're basing this off of what others have said on this forum. Also, they've been working on this show pre-covid, and Zip was cut as soon as Disney announced Splashes closure.

Ah, whoops! Yeah, I misread it as Saddle being cut pretty close towards the end of development. Though personally I wouldn't be shocked if that's what the second Remember Me was originally going to be!

I really wish that were the case as it would've made a lot of fans really happy. Anyways, I didn't like how Big Al wasn't present during the finale. If they were going to reuse the joke of Big Al interrupting, then they should've had him interrupt either before or during the finale. Having him come out right after the finale is over feels so forced, and those who aren't familiar with the original show end up being confused. Besides, the finale doesn't feel like a finale without all of the curtains being open.

Agreed- it felt weird to leave their most popular character out of the finale that he's always been a part of. Especially since they easily could've had Ernest be a part of it if they didn't want Al (though idk how fast the turntables turn, can't imagine very fast), it does just feel empty with the curtains off-balance. They could've easily had Henry and Sammy try to cheer up Al with the finale if they wanted a wholesome twist, though I appreciate Al is still an annoyance.

Also just to clarify my previous post- me saying that there was "100% a recording" was still just speculation, I have zero insider info!
