Country Bear Jamboree - Full Show in High Definition
Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom is home of countless Audio-Animatronic shows. One of the oldest of them is the Country Bear Jamboree, which has been in the park since it officially opened to the public on October 1, 1971. The show may seem a bit outdated, but it it still going strong today. This time, we are pleased to bring you an High-Definition video of the entire show. We hope you will enjoy it:
Here's the description of the show, as seen on the official Walt Disney World Resort website:

Country Bear Jamboree
Country Bear Jamboree is a musical revue performed by a jolly band of backwoods bears in Grizzly Hall theater in Fontierland at Magic Kingdom theme park.
Join the talented cast of 18 musically-inclined bears as they perform continuous 17-minute shows featuring country music-style classics—to the delight of fans big and small. The rustic review is infused with a down-home sensibility that includes plenty of great music, broad humor and a few unexpected surprises.
The show starts when the three stuffed animal heads mounted on the walls—named Buff, Max and Melvin—show more life than might be expected. Grizzly Hall's emcee, Henry, introduces us to a colorful variety of gifted bears who each make an appearance, sing a few songs and display their expertise on a variety of musical instruments. Look for the crowd favorite; a towering mammoth with a soulful heart named, appropriately, Big Al.
Country Bear Jamboree is one of the very last attractions that Walt Disney personally helped develop. The show was originally planned for a never-built Disney ski resort in Mineral King, California. When that project did not come to fruition, the bears happily moved out to Florida in 1971 and have been performing daily at Magic Kingdom theme park ever since.

We personally have mixed feelings about the Country Bear Jamboree. We like it, but it does look a bit cheesy to us. What about you? What are your feelings about the attraction? Feel free to share your comments with us.
Perfect words: "has been in the park since it officially opened to the public on October 1, 1971. The show may seem a bit outdated, but it it still going strong today."
ReplyDeleteIf only Universal were to learn and apply this to their attractions, *coughs* JAWS *coughs*
Thanks for posting the video! One of the few memories I have from my first trip to Disney is seeing the Country Bears! It always holds a place in my heart! I am scared that one day Disney is going to replace it. I hope that never happens.
ReplyDeleteThe Country Bear Jamboree is a great, timeless classic indeed and I'm glad that WDW still has it, since Disneyland took away their version of it (hope the rumors of the show resurfacing at Disney California Adventure come to pass).
ReplyDeleteI just wish that WDW would bring back the Christmas Show and the Vacation Hoedown and have all 3 versions of the show rotate annually.
