The Country Bears will return to Magic Kingdom when Country Bear Musical Jamboree opens on July 17, Disney World has announced.
The new version, a revamp of the classic Country Bear Jamboree, will pay homage to the traditional musical revues of Nashville. Walt Disney Imagineers worked with country music artists to create an authentic sound.
For Country Bear Musical Jamboree, the bear band will be performing twangy reinterpretations of familiar Disney songs. The song list includes country singer Emily Ann Roberts performing “Try Everything” from “Zootopia” and Allison Russell and Chris Thile performing “A Whole New World” from “Aladdin.” Other songs include “Bare Necessities” and “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.”
On Monday, Disney shared a preview of the new outfits Big Al and Wendell will wear in the show. Disney previously revealed the new costumes for the trio of Bunny, Bubbles and Beulah.
Country Bear Jamboree has been a staple of Magic Kingdom for over 50 years, opening the park in 1971.
