How sad is this?

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

When Disney does it right, Disney does it right! Country Bears was a breath of fresh air after that flop Pirates of the Caribbean. All star cast, sick music, awesome bears! The plot is so deep as well. Who knew you could learn so much about family from bears! I can't wait for the Country Bear franchise to take off. There are so many potential sequels that I'm sure Disney will cash in on for years to come. I could even see them making a show at Disney World based on Country Bears just like they did with that Pirate crap.Trust me, see this movie! Thank God I'm a Country Bear! SPOILERS: The bears sing.

*WARNING: MAY CONTAIN MILD SPOILERS* One of those rare movies that the whole family, from toddlers to parents, can enjoy, on different levels. Parents: this one's 100% kid safe. My kids are grown, but I bought the DVD for myself. I love the music.The songs are terrific -- great soundtrack -- especially for those who like Eagles-style music. John Hiatt and Bonnie Raitt supply two of the voices, including one very fine duet. (One of the cameo scenes features Eagles Don Henley and Bonnie Raitt. You'll also spot Elton John and Queen Latifah). Brian Setzer (of the Stray Cats) has a flaming musical "duel" with Country Bear, Fred Bedderhead. The soundtrack also includes Elton John and The Guess Who, among others.This is not a movie to over-think. Just relax, suspend disbelief, sit back and enjoy the movie's clever, silly humor which, like the farcical storyline, operates at both kid and adult levels. A typically villainous Christopher Walken is a hoot as the banker determined to tear down Country Bear Hall, as is Eli Marienthal as older brother, Dex, the movie's lonely voice of reality.The Country Bears offers not only fun and laughter, terrific music, and a feel-good story, but also a positive message for kids, delivered in a light-hearted, simple, entertaining way.It's hard for me to compare The Country Bears with similar movies because few movies of this type have such a strong musical emphasis. But if you take out the music factor, I might compare it to *Finding Nemo* (for positive family values) or *Harvey* & the 1998 TV *Ransom of Red Chief* with Christopher Lloyd (for a similar style of very dry humor) or *Toy Story* & *Shrek* (for children's fun movies).Movies do not have to be great to be really good, fun entertainment. This one's good for you or your family, one of the best of its genre that I've ever seen...again and again.

The Country Bears is truly a cinematic gem and the film of it's generation. Everything about this movie is amazing. From the acting, to the directing, the writing, the cinematography, EVERYTHING! This movie is the only perfect movie I have ever seen except for The Godfather. Personally I like it more than The Godfather. The movie is hilarious throughout the entire course of the film. It is an extremely smart movie and there is a very powerful ending and it had me crying for almost an hour! It's that good! This film is about life and death and Beary's fate. It is a film for kids but I think adults will enjoy it even more. If you haven't seen this movie yet, I highly recommend that you see it. 10/10

This a great family movie. Christopher Walken, as usual, is a blast. This movie has other great actors like Stephen Tobolowsky, which add to the fun. The way the musical numbers are presented are reminiscent of "The Blues Brothers." This movie shows how it is possible to have a great family movie without even a hint of sexual content. I loved how they dealt with all the bears living among us.My daughter, now 2 and a half, and I, have watched this movie together since she was 6 months old. She requests it and will watch every bit of it. I love every Christopher Walken scene and laugh at almost every line. This movie has been ignored because of "Brother Bear." I say look for it and enjoy it with your kids!
