Favorite Country Bear Character?

Post by theBIGyowski » Jul Mon 12, 2010 8:42 am

I was listening to some WDW music last night (go figure) and the CBJ show came on. I started wondering who my favorite Country Bear is...

...and I think it is Buff. You've just gotta love him and it's Thurl Ravenscroft doing what he does best.

I always liked Buff, Max, and the moose too. My favorite is probably Big Al but that's kinda the gimme. I really think Wendall has grown on me and Liverlips is awesome.

Swingin' Teddy Beara! She is cute :D I don't know if I could pick a favorite as I kind of like them all...probably the characters hanging around on the wall would be my favorites...

I liked Big Al the best, We have a mug from many years ago, with his picture on it. They use the best musical instrument....like the moonshine jug.

Gotta be big Al, although I was always partial to Henry too

Oh, well if it is the big old bear butt you find amusing, that might just be Jacca pushing Teddy Beara off her swing ;) :lol:

None of them! My favorite CBJ moment/character was on DL's Jungle Cruise when we passed by all the bones and the skipper said, "I always wondered what happened to the Country Bear Jamboree...." :P

Growing up, my younger brother loved Big Al. He even had the Big Al plush toy.

My personal favorite was Swingin Teddy Beara. I used to stare at the ceiling for the second half of the show waiting for the flower petals and hatch to open and for her to come down on her swing.

I really love all of them so picking favorites is too difficult. But if I had to pick, for some reason I tend to be kinda partial to Oscar. He doesn't speak or anything, but he is just so cute sitting on the corner of the stage with that look on his face!

Momeja - Even though I LOVE the CBJ/CBVH I laughed so hard when I read that Jungle Cruise comment! :lol:
