      I think he might be obscure is because people only look at film and tv characters , As i only really know the Bears from the movie

    Buff: Melvin!
    Max: Wake up!
    Melvin: Huh?
    Buff: The way you're always hibernatin', you must be part bear!
    Melvin: Aw, heck! I'm only part *moose* as it is!

    Max, Buff, and Melvin all show up in “The Wonderful Winter of Mickey Mouse”, and even get lines. Melvin has the most lines.

    That first version of the Melvin puppet featured in the Breakfast Jamboree show was creepy-looking.
    Also, I loved the skit at the end. "Feels like I'm wearin' nothin' at all!"

    Man, I barely (bearly?!) remember the Country Bear Jamoree, I went to it only once as a kid and never visited a Disney park since. The one part I remember was this one bear singing about there being "blood on the table" and "blood on the floor" or something... really disturbing. I don't even remember the deer, buffalo, or moose heads on the wall, which is kind of a shame...

  • @CinnamonGrrlErin1
    @CinnamonGrrlErin1 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think they probably went with Melcin because they didn't want Max to get confused with Bambi, and maybe a Buff costume would've been too bulky. Also, moose are just really cute in a "so ugly it's adorable" kind of way. We certainly get enough tourists coming to see them, here in Maine

    Speaking of animatronic mooses.
    Have you ever heard of A restaurant called bugaboo?
    This restaurant was A place we're every 5 minutes A animatronic Buffalo or deer would talk to the guests about food.
    However there not open anymore after A snow storm fried the animatronics wireing.

      As memethyst said, Creative Engineering did an homage (to be generous) as the Country Bear Jubilee, also known as the Hard Luck Bears. They had their own moose character in some versions, who has fallen on some very hard times indeed.
