Description

A bear raised in a human environment, Beary (Haley Joel Osment), is a confused adolescent, despite his loving home. His sanctuary is in a disbanded musical act, the Country Bears, to whom he has a strong connection and is fanatical about. So it is no surprise when Beary runs away to find his real family that he winds up at Country Bear Hall, the landmark site of so many of those memorable Country Bear gigs, now little more than dust and kindling and just days from being demolished by greedy banker Reed Thimple (Christopher Walken). The few Bears who remain prepare to move away from their hall and their Kentucky bluegrass. That is, until Beary arrives, convincing them to hop in the old Hiber Nation tour bus and track down the other band members for a reunion concert in hopes of saving the historic venue. This search for the members of the influential group proves difficult with the Bears all in varying states of desperation and a pair of bumbling cops (Daryl Mitchell and Diedrich Bader) tracking them. Ultimately, the Country Bears and their biggest fan use this road trip to gain an understanding of the true meaning of family.

Plot Synopsis

The story of Beary Barrinson, a ten year old bear cub raised by a human family after he was found abandoned in the forest. Beary is desperate to find out where he really came from and travels to Tennessee to seek out his family.

Comments about Country Bears:

The Country Bears is a movie that joins the list of Disney "Rides-to-Film" franchise (including Pirates of the Carribean and Haunted Mansion) that features a make believe world where talking bears and humans co-exist together. If you can suspend disbelief with that notion, then this movie will entertain for the next 1hr++ with catchy songs (sung by some well-known and other not so much singers) and a simple plot about a bear trying to find his true place in the world. Obviously the puppetry hereis far superior to the animatronics from the theme park show and helps bring each character to life with individual characteristics.

The R2 release is the only one that features the correct widescreen aspect ratio (other regions R1 and R3 only have full frame versions) but other content remains the same across the regions. So if you're a fan of the movie or the theme park attraction, then this version is the one to get. The disc is dual R2 and R4 region coded and runs in PAL systems with English, Hebrew, Croation and Slovanian subs.
