Some of the classic Disney songs to be performed at Country Bear Musical Jamboree have been revealed.
During the second episode of “We Call It Imagineering,” a YouTube series from Walt Disney Imagineering, a list of Disney songs that will be performed by the Country Bears were revealed. The setlist includes “A Whole New World,” “Try Everything,” and the previously-announced “Bear Necessities.”
The video joins recording artists and engineers in a studio in Nashville, Tennessee, where they are recording songs for the show. Emily Ann Roberts can be seen recording “Try Everything” as the voice of beloved bear Trixie.
Allison Russell and Christopher Scott Thile can be seen recording “A Whole New World.”
Audible in the background is a country version of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.”
Country Bear Musical Jamboree is a brand-new show replacing the previous Country Bear Jamboree. It is set to open this summer at Magic Kingdom.
The episode gave viewers a look at the recording sessions for the Country Bear Musical Jamboree, which took place on Music Row in Nashville, Tennessee, and featured musicians recording country-fied versions of the Disney classics.
The bear characters will include Romeo McGrowl, Trixie, Terrance “Shaker,” Ernest the “Dude,” Big Al, Wendell & Teddy Barra, and Henry.
The change from Country Bear Jamboree to Country Bear Musical Jamboree was first announced at Destination D23 in 2023. The Country Bear Jamboree was an opening day attraction at Frontierland in Magic Kingdom. The musical revue featured country songs including “How Long Will My Baby Be Gone” and “The Ballad of Davy Crockett.” Its final day of operation in January of 2024 was met with technical difficulties. Previously, Disney gave guests a first-look at the all-new costumes worn by the Sun Bonnets.
