Country Bear Jamboree

The Country Bear Jamboree (a.k.a. Country Bear Theater) is an attraction in the Tokyo Disneyland theme park at the Tokyo Disney Resort. The attraction also existed at Disneyland Park and the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort. All versions of the attraction are similar. The attraction is a stage show featuring audio-animatronic figures. Most of the characters are bears who perform country music. Characters rise up to the stage on platforms, descend from the ceiling, and appear from behind curtains. The audience includes audio-animatronic animal heads mounted on the walls who interact with characters on stage. Due to overwhelming popularity, The Country Bear Jamboree was given a "spin-off" show which appeared during the 1984 winter season at Walt Disney World and Disneyland. It was called The Country Bear Christmas Special. In 1986 it was given a summertime version called The Country Bear Vacation Hoedown. This version was so popular at Disneyland that it became the park's standard edition until the attraction's closing in 2001. In 2002, a movie titled The Country Bears was released which was based on the attraction and its characters.
