Escapay, I said many I didn't say all UDers...I know some younger UD members who are much younger then me don't remember and some didn't even go to Disneyland since they live to far away.

Well to settle your apparent fears, Pals, it is still playing at Walt Disney World, so there's a whole new generation out there to remember it!

Okay, I just read it and they do play Country Bear Jamboree at Walt Disney World but I don't know if it's the same one just like at Disneyland.

Sorry Pinkrenata!!!

I've only seen <i>The Country Bears</i> once and I rather enjoyed it. I've seen the show at WDW several times and have never been a big fan (it's growing on me). The movie is far more entertaining for my money. I don't recall many specifics now but I do remember it traipsing into kiddy silliness on occasion. I was very taken by the mockumentary tone, however, and Christopher Walken was great as always. The fullscreen presentation is the only reason I don't own the DVD. I agree with Netty that TCB is a much better movie than <i>The Haunted Mansion</i>. I wish more people would give it a chance (which means watching more than ten or twenty minutes -- plenty of good movies have gotten off to a slow or quirky start. Even <i>Citizen Kane</i>).

Netty -- The original Pirates attraction at Disneyland does actually feature skeleton pirates. Whether or not they're undead is, I guess, a matter for interpretation.
