I am so unbelievably sad to see this show go. I know it’s just the soundtrack but it’s so special. Warmed my heart to see so many people in the audience showing love to this show. I’ll miss it terribly.
I don't think the show is really going away; in the past, it has been re-made several times with the same characters, just singing different songs, and renamed the Country Bear Christmas Hoedown and the Country Bear Vacation Hoedown, before being turned back.
I really hope that they give the animatronics the love they deserve during the refurb. - a lot of the old animatronics (and some of the newer ones) have been neglected the past couple of years, so hopefully the bears will come back looking better than ever.
I rode it multiple times today and the energy in the room was palpable. It’s a beloved attraction that shouldn’t be touched. I know Walt said the parks would constantly be changing, but it seems like every year we lose another classic.
As sad as it is to see this version of the show go, this is not the "true" Country Bear Jamboree; this is the watered down version that since 2012 shortened the show but came at the expense of much of its charm. I do not deny it is sad to see the original version go... but the true original version has been gone for over a decade
But they are requesting it not closing it permanently or making a brand, completely new venue (like Splash Mountain) correct? I think with the way Disney seems to operate we are "lucky" they lasted that long. We went to WDW in 1976 and 1977. I was in my early teens, my brother a pre-teen and my sister was 6 & 7. I understand the only orginal rides still existing from then was the Jamboree, It's a Small World, Space Mountain, Jungle Cruise, the Carousel of Progress (which I loved, especially the last song in the last scene) & The Haunted Mansion. Sometimes pple go for the nostalgia not everything needs to be super high tech, though it was for it's time period. I want to see WDW again but with all the turmoil it went through & I understand the guest experience has degraded alot & it has almost become price prohibitive... I haven't gone with my kids & Grandsons yet, thought the two youngest went two years ago & their fav ride was Space Mountain! They went in between their 6 & 7th bdays ( they are 1 yr & 2 days apart)! They also went to Disneyland with their mother's family for 1 day last Spring they said they hated it & were not impressed with WDW either. To me that is so sad. It was a family friendly kid oriented place. I wanted my first honeymoon at the Comtempoary Resort that was dream...it so sad now to me, that some kids feel that way.
Thank you for this high definition video of the show. I am sad to see this version of the bears go, but glad that they are getting an update and not being trashed for something else entirely. I am hopeful for the update. I love this show and these characters so much. Hopefully we can get more merch once the new version opens.
I’m glad they are putting money into keeping this around even if it will have new songs. I think this is a necessary change to keep this up with modern standards, as much as people hate to hear it some of the things in the show are outdated and this is a way to preserve the attraction for future generations. Also this opens up the door for it to change again in the future.
Another piece of Disney history I'll never get to see in person. That being said, I can't imagine how difficult these units are to maintain after such a long time of performances.
We still have a chance bud!! I think there just changing up the songs and stuff to update it more, bc same I've never been to Disney ever but I'd die to see this irl
I'm so sad this show is being updated. Theres something so kitschy about this version, and I absolutely love it. Im also really sad I'm missing the closure by just a few days, and the last time I saw it in person was exactly a year ago. Thank you for sharing this version of the show with us so it can live on forever
This has been my favorite since the day I've watched it on TH-cam. I never saw it in person because I never been to Disney world or Disneyland wherever it's at and we can always look back on these videos and see the memories That will never go away. God bless for the upcoming new show and if I'm praying right now for my future wife that me and her can go to Disney world alongside my family
I hope u will get that opportunity too. I went to Disney world for the 1st time and u always must think of the thousands who never get to go I mean it’s so expensive
@@gwenmloveskpopandmore You got that right? I never been to Disney world or Disneyland never I know right now it's crazy expensive but I'll see what me and my future wife can do. Thank you for the support
I first saw this when i was 8 yrs old. I loved it so much, my parents bought me the LP for Christmas. 50+ years later,and i love it just as much as i first did. And, i can still recite the entire program!😂😂
I so wish I could have seen this show in its glory days. I love all the songs (yes, even the "controversial" ones), and the characters are so loveable! I hope the refurb goes well, the new songs are just as good as the originals, and the Bear Band gets its much-needed attention and are all fixed up in proper working order.
A sad day. I grew up with the one at Disneyland. I’m just glad my kids got to see it at Disney World a few years ago before it gets changed. Fun fact: the bison on the wall is voiced by Thurl Ravenscroft, longtime voice of Tony the Tiger and singer of “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch”. The host bear Henry is voiced by Peter Reneday, best known as Splinter in the original TMNT toon.
Thanks for posting the full show of the Country Bear Jamboree! It's not my favorite attraction at Magic Kingdom and the animatronics are creepy, but it's unique and a fun musical experience! I'm also going to miss "Blood on the Saddle."
I will sure miss the old Country Bear jamboree, let's keep in mind it's not going anywhere forever it's the soundtrack changing. Can't wait to see it after the referb!!!
I am so sad Country Bear Jamboree closed it was my fav ride. every time my cousin went on the haunted mansion I would go see the country bear jamboree.
It sucks that it’s going down just before my birthday trip. I really wanted to see it again, and show it to my mom. She hasn’t seen it since she was a kid at Disneyland, and now it’ll never be the same again
The singing voice of Big Al was the late, great singer Tex Ritter. Big Al’s chuckle was done by Thurl Ravenscroft, who voiced Buff the American Bison in the show itself.
I have to wonder if the "update" to the show is really going to be a permanent change. If all they do is refurbish the animatronics and change stuff on the surface, then theoretically the original show could return at any time. After all, that's what happened with The Enchanted Tiki Room... Though hopefully it won't take a fire in the theater for that to happen.
This was one of my first shows at Disney. While I understand why they are refurbishing it i will still miss this version. I will especially miss liver lips mcgraw.
Hey TPM Vids! Because of your video on the Great Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, I was able to spot Max, Buff and Melvin on my last trip! It was SO COOL!😎
I miss it already (the Florida version at least; I have been missing the California version since 2001) . I'm glad I got to see it the 3 times I've been to Disney World.
Imagine Big Al singing The Bare Necessities from The Jungle Book on the Country Bear Musical Jamboree instead of his mournful song Blood on the Saddle.
Thurl Ravenscroft, who voiced his character Buff the American Bison, has recently passed away in 2005, which means his character has to be recast by a new voice actor.
I remember when I was a little boy I seen country bears at Disneyland the original one about 3 or 4 years ago I went to Disneyland with my two boys trying show the country bears by the time walking to Disneyland finally showing the show it was closed
@@robertpehatcher968there’s been a Vacation version which was supposed to be permanent, there was also a Christmas version, the bear original songs will return eventually.
This was fun to rewatch! I enjoyed this so much as a child many years ago. I remember when I was about 10 I bought the album and I know all the words to every song lol. I thought it was already gone like years ago?
I'm speaking to you from 2067 and can confirm it's back at Disneyland and the original show is alive and well at WDW. The parks are stuck in the 1980s in 2067.
The show is going away!? I can't bear to see it go! Now, I am jamboreeally sad. I just hope that whatever gets built up in it's place is not the polar opposite.
At Disneyland Anaheim, this was an attraction I always looked forward to as a child and teen and even as an adult. When it was removed I was very sad. It was replaced by a very lame Winnie the Pooh ride. Years later we went to Florida Disney where we got to experience once again I was very appreciative. Last year we went to Tokyo Disney where they still have it but 90% of it is in Japanese (as it should be I guess). This is sad that it’s being taken from our childhood. Shows how money driven Disney is now. But at least we can still relive it on TH-cam.
What an end of an era, I just wonder what other Disney songs that will be featured besides “bare necessities”? I have a feeling “we don’t talk about Bruno” may get a shine in here since one of the bears is on a swing like Isabella. What do you think could be possibly featured in the new show?
I know people are upset, but the animatronics lowkey need some work. I don’t mean this in any bad way, but their mouths and eyes don’t work as well as the used to. So I’m happy they are getting the care and attention they need
Why is there audio missing? Some of the ends of songs, the little bear's squeqker the first time. I memorized this when I was six years old...i have the sound track put out in the 70s. It is heartbreaking that this is ending.
This version of the Country Bear Jamboree has only one theater compared to the Tokyo Disneyland version and the defunct Disneyland California version which have two theaters each instead of one.
I am so unbelievably sad to see this show go. I know it’s just the soundtrack but it’s so special. Warmed my heart to see so many people in the audience showing love to this show. I’ll miss it terribly.
Worry Not my son. It shall rise like the Phoenix
Where is it going
@@Umbron9503it’s getting refurbished
@@LiamHoyo why can’t Disney keep this show alive for just a little bit longer( by this I mean don’t touch it it’s great just the way it’s been.)
I don't think the show is really going away; in the past, it has been re-made several times with the same characters, just singing different songs, and renamed the Country Bear Christmas Hoedown and the Country Bear Vacation Hoedown, before being turned back.
Just imagine how revolutionary this was for its time. Imagine stepping in to this show on opening day… fantasy turning in to a reality.
This is a very sad moment in history. The Country Bear Jamboree has been my favorite thing at Disney since the first time I ever went.
Take Heart my son, it'll rise like the Phoenix
Do Disneyland in Northern California
Very sad but it will live on!!!
It is coming back as a newer show with classic Disney songs.
This is not the first or even third time they have changed the songs in country bear jamboree… it’s part of the show. All will be ok.
I really hope that they give the animatronics the love they deserve during the refurb. - a lot of the old animatronics (and some of the newer ones) have been neglected the past couple of years, so hopefully the bears will come back looking better than ever.
They look incredible now!
the show will live on in our memories, heart, and soul, and new show will be just as good as the original
absolutely not
This show is not closing and this video is spreading misinformation.
@@stanfordite1 um what? Fact check maybe? The show is 100% closed and a new show is being made.
@@Protato_Gamer No it's not. I'm speaking to you from 2067 and it was there for WDW's 75th, 80th, and 90th anniversaries.

What's happing to it
@@Cold-as-ice-SubZero its being re themed
I know, But imagine if they have made a song, For there final show, Where this version is gone.
The animations are so much smoother and more fluid now

This is one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life. RIP to a truly iconic ride.
The Japanese version of the Country Bear Jamboree is still in operation, along with its two spinoffs, Christmas Special and Vacation Hoedown.
*_all the best to you💝🎉😘_*
Guys, just be grateful It’s not gonna be gone gone like Disneyland was, it’s just gonna have different songs
Keep watching the Disney stock price fall ⬇️
@@michaeljordan6008 that ain’t gonna happen, Disney is literally 100 years old and they are still going strong
Plus Walt's whole vision for the parks was for them to be ever-evolving.

Country Bear Jamboree is staying, it’s just being refurbished, there will be new songs, and new outfit

Another classic fades into history but our hearts will alwas remember it and sing its classic songs.
Country Bear Jamboree has always been one of my favorites.
RIP the old Country Bear Jamboree (1971-2024)
White hat guy in the far bottom left corner during the finale was straight up jammin' 🤣🤣🤣
I hope Tokyo's ``Country Bear Theater'' and ``Splash Mountain'' remain forever.
Goodbye country bear jamboree😢

Farewell country bear jamboree you will always be my favorite show at the magic kingdom and liver lips will always be my favorite country bear

Don’t worry y’all - Disney , surprisingly, did the refurb super well!!!
RIP country bear jamboree 1971 -2024 you will be missed. God save country bear jamboree Please save it.
Glad people were able to capture it for posterity.
Goodbye my favorite show at Disney! I hope when you reopen I will love you just as much as
At least we can listen to the whole show on Apple Music digitally and on disc two of The Musical History of Disneyland album from 2005.
I think I'll look into that myself.😀 As I've stated, I remember it when it first opened.
Excellent work, bravo !!.. Will miss the original
Some things are classic, and need no updating. This is one of them.
After getting the new one, yeah this was wrong. It definitely needed the update and is much better now
R.I.P Country bear jamboree. You sure will be missed. Hopefully the new version of the show will be better than ever! 🐻🐻🐻
Truly unbelievable they are closing this attraction. Recently did it for the last time and I will miss it…

I'm surprised these animatronics are still functioning after all these years
They do repair and replace them as needed.

Imagine Big Al singing The Bare Necessities from The Jungle Book on the Country Bear Musical Jamboree instead of his mournful song Blood on the Saddle.
I’m so sad that they are updating it I loved the old music
RIP Peter Reneday (the voice of Henry)
I have a feeling he may have been one of the last surviving voice actors for the original
“This is not over, Bears!”
I love what you do
This is absolutely heartbreaking!
Its not gonna be gone its just gonna get news songs
Thurl Ravenscroft, who voiced his character Buff the American Bison, has recently passed away in 2005, which means his character has to be recast by a new voice actor.
Aw...they should leave his voice it so iconic
Honestly, I don't think they are removing the opening part with Buff, Max, and Melvin. So that will probably stay the same
Well let's see what songs will be on the card for the new show
I remember when I was a little boy I seen country bears at Disneyland the original one about 3 or 4 years ago I went to Disneyland with my two boys trying show the country bears by the time walking to Disneyland finally showing the show it was closed
