Walt Disney World has revealed the Country Bears’ new looks for the Country Bear Musical Jamboree, opening this summer at Magic Kingdom.
Concept art by Kevin and Jody shows many of the bears in new costumes. Henry is in a white jacket and stetson. Trixie is in a pink and white getup with a microphone. Romeo McGrowl rocks a blue suit and yellow necktie. Teddy Barra has a sparkly blue boa and pink hat. Many of the bears wear blue bandannas.
We previously got a behind-the-scenes look at the Sun Bonnets’ new pink and white costumes.
Disney shared a look at the new Country Bear Musical Jamboree sign. Shaped similarly to the old sign, it still features the tagline, “A Wild & Wooly Good Time.”
Big Al and Wendell appeared at Monday’s media event. Disney also announced the show’s July opening date.
The new show replaces the Country Bear Jamboree with the bears now performing Disney songs. The Country Bear Musical Jamboree was announced at Destination D23 in 2023. The Country Bear Jamboree closed (with technical issues) in January 2024.
The Country Bear Musical Jamboree setlist includes “A Whole New World” from “Aladdin,” “Try Everything” from “Zootopia,” and “Bear Necessities” from “The Jungle Book.” The second episode of “We Call It Imagineering” included footage of Emily Ann Roberts recording “Try Everything” as the voice of Trixie. Allison Russell and Christopher Scott Thile recorded “A Whole New World.”
