The classic Country Bear Jamboree is getting a new look and a new sound this year!
A new show is coming!
We learned in September 2023 that the show would be closing for a revamp, and that Nashville singers, producers, and musicians were involved. And we know that “The Bare Necessities” is one of the Disney tunes being used in the new show. But we just got more info — and we’re sharing it here now!
First up, though, we want to warn you that some of what we’re about to share may be considered spoilers. So, if you want to be surprised the first time you watch the new Country Bear Jamboree, you may want to click out of this post now!
Now that that’s out of the way, Walt Disney Imagineering just dropped a new episode of its YouTube series, “We Call It Imagineering.” This episode focuses on soundscapes in the parks and on attractions. We got to see some scenes INSIDE Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ride — and you can read about that and see the photos right here!
But we also got to go inside some Nashville recording sessions for the NEW Country Bear Jamboree show! You can watch the episode right here.
In the episode, we learned that the new show will open with Trixie singing “Try Everything” from Zootopia. Trixie will be voiced by Emily Ann Roberts, a country and gospel singer who rose to fame as a contestant on “The Voice.”

And we got to see Grammy winners Allison Russell and Chris Thile recording “A Whole New World” from Aladdin for the show!
