The "Original" Country Bear Jamboree

Enjoy the "original" Country Bear Jamboree, recorded in May of 2012. This is the original version that opened with The Magic Kingdom, in Oct '71. The show has since been edited for time and content, quickening up the pace, but at the loss of it's heart and charm. If you haven't seen the original version, pay close attention to the banter between Henry, the host and Buff, Max and Melvin, the heads on the wall. Most of all, enjoy!

Country Bear Jamboree is my favorite show that I saw it when it was shorten

[@dannygrau2983]

I know this will probably not happen, but please, Disney bring back the country bear christmas jamboree.

[@dakotanorth1640]

Thank you. I saw a shortened version and though, WTF? This is more like I recall.

[@dannygrau2983]

The new show is shortened . How sad . I wonder why. It's still a classic favorite

[@DougCraftOfficial]

Probably to avoid needing to fix them so much because of some songs they moved more and faster I think. Or just to make it shorter for some reason

[@SlushysSecret]

@@DougCraftOfficialit was simply because of a decline in viewership since no one can sit through 15 minutes of pure gold

[@NuggetHQ]

Budget cuts, short and simple.

[@jadehedglin1430]

​@@NuggetHQmaybe the longer one 👹 should be back 🔙 at Disneyland living 😡 next ♆ door 🚪 to The 🎭 Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh ride 🍚

Help I was break dancing to this😭

[@danielhensley3983]

Miss this attraction.

[@kayc_x3]

I’ll miss it forever! The edited down version is a slight improvement in some ways, but I’ll always prefer this ending where he sings with Sammy for longer

[@user-ul3lx2sl1q]

I ❤❤❤❤❤❤ max the deer. Sort of like Bambi’s dad, only with southern-hayseed talk.

[@PeterPumpkinEater75]

The characters definitely looked extremely clunky here and were definitely in need of some cosmetic and mechanical repairs but cutting the show as harshly as they did was unnecessary. I did however like the upgrades to the bears fur and skins but some of them such as Wendell and liver lips look a bit grotesque now rather than cute

[@SlushysSecret]

I like the originals since the new versions look rough and old, but yes I too think it was unnecessary to shorten the show

Yogi the bear and Winnie po bears are having a great time bo bo 🐻 there's those picnic baskets yum 😋 at Yellowstone park

[@benszone1879]

Thanks for posting this! Out of curiosity, what is your favorite part of the show?

[@sealy1]

Mine was devilish mary, but now it's my woman ain't pretty.

[@SlushysSecret]

@@sealy1 same, I wish it wasn't cut out

[@Josh4344]

Mine also was Devilish Mary. Big Al is my favorite now!

[@toilet0609]

i can definetely say some fixes were necessary, i mean listen to the end a lot of voiceboxes were either malfunctioning or too low, some mechanics and such were need of fixing (like teds head), but some things were unnecessary they cut too much of the show, and some of the dialogue for max, buff and melvin. the bears fur now really look clunky as for before it was very silky

[@m.nic.5080]

I don’t think there are “voiceboxes” for the individual characters. The showtape with all the audio as one file is played on the speakers in the building and the animatronics move in sync with it. But the animatronics do not produce sound on their own.

[@toilet0609]

@@m.nic.5080 well thats the showtape, and if you were correct then why do i hear mostly wendell in the finale

[@FatzGeronimo1982]

@@toilet0609they don’t have voice boxes it could be that when they were mixing the master audio they turned bill Coles (Wendell’s voice actor) voice up to get a good flow in

[@SlushysSecret]

@@toilet0609there are speakers on each of the Bear stages that either play louder split segments of a song, so a speaker could be playing louder than the others from a distance

[@jadehedglin1430]

The long one ☝️ should be back at Disneyland next door 🚪 to the Winnie The Pooh ride

[@lianecornils6603]

Because the world doesn’t enjoy the simple forms of entertainment. 😊.
