The Country Bears
The Country Bears is a 2002 American musical road comedy film directed by Peter Hastings, produced by Walt Disney Pictures, and based on the Disney theme park attraction Country Bear Jamboree. The film stars Christopher Walken, Daryl Mitchell, Diedrich Bader (in a dual role), Alex Rocco, and Haley Joel Osment as the voice of Beary Barrington with the voice talents of Candy Ford, James Gammon, Brad Garrett, Toby Huss, Kevin Michael Richardson, and Stephen Root.
It was Disney's second theatrical film based on an attraction at one of its theme parks, and the third overall film based on an attraction following the television film Tower of Terror (1997) and the theatrically released Mission to Mars (2000). The film was released theatrically in the United States on July 26, 2002. It was a critical and commercial flop, grossing $18 million of its $35 million budget.
The Country Bears, a country rock band consisting entirely of anthropomorphic bears, had disbanded in 1991 after years of popularity. 11 years later, Beary Barrington, a preteen bear adopted and raised by a human family, feels different. His adoptive parents tell him that they love him unconditionally and that differences lead everyone to their purposes. When his adoptive older brother, Dex, tells him the truth about his background, Beary runs away and ventures out to the Country Bear Hall, the Country Bears' former concert hall.
Beary learns from the caretaker Big Al and the band's manager Henry Dixon Taylor that Country Bear Hall is threatened with destruction by greedy banker Reed Thimple. After many attempts to save Country Bear Hall, Beary suggests that Henry hold a benefit concert and the duo sets out to reunite the group with the band's bus driver and drummer Roadie. Meanwhile, the Barringtons enlist police officers Cheets and Hamm to find Beary.
Beary and Henry first recruit Fred Bedderhead, the harmonica and electric bass player, who works as a security guard on the set of pop singer Krystal's latest music video. Henry needs promotion and Beary suggests the group's former promoter Rip Holland, whom Henry claimed had "stolen" the Country Bears. Henry phones Rip, who gladly agrees to promote the show. Fred mentions a talent show history where they defeated an armpit musician named Benny Bogswaggle, who flew into an angry meltdown and struck Zeb Zoober, the band's fiddler, with a wooden chair. Meanwhile, Thimple approaches Big Al and learns about the Country Bears' plan and about Holland promoting the show.
The bears then approach Zeb, who has spent years drinking honey and owes a $500 bar tab. Beary places a bet to let Zeb go with them by beating the house band in a playoff, in which Zeb starts his performance poorly, but wins after warming up. Meanwhile, Cheets and Hamm approach Big Al for directions to find Beary, and because of miscommunication, believe the bears have kidnapped Beary.
Tennessee O'Neal, the one-string guitar player, who is now a marriage counselor, is very reluctant to rejoin the band because he wants to reconcile with his ex-girlfriend Trixie St. Claire, the band's keyboard player. After being chased by Cheets and Hamm through a car wash, the Country Bears stop at a motel, where Trixie is performing. Tennessee sings a duet with her, and she comes with the band to their reunion.
They finally head out to find Ted Bedderhead, the lead vocalist, guitarist and Fred's older brother. They learn from Elton John that Ted, who appears very wealthy, is at a wedding at the local country club. After Ted has the other Country Bears members leave, a reluctant Fred finds Ted and, learning that he is only a wedding singer, knocks out him before dragging him onto the bus. Zeb claims Ted to be the reason for the band's disestablishment, but Ted claims that he held them together. Ted says the real problem was Zeb's drinking, Tennessee's emotional outbursts, and Fred's immaturity, but Beary reminds them that they claimed each other to be family in a People magazine. However, Ted still says it was meaningless publicity and tells him that he does not know anything about the real bears and that they are not a family. Beary realizes the real meaning of family and returns home, where he is happily reunited.
