This angers me. After being in the park for 40+ years, now is the time guests complain about a segment of the show? Get over it! It's a classic. Let it be, people.

Big Al can't go ... you'd need a new show.
And people today are offended by any/everything. I really hate people.
I guess people are claiming 'Mama Don't Whoop Little Buford' is advocating beating children or shooting them ... in the same way they recently redid the Gaston statue for his new MK tavern because he had a gun in one hand, now he has brews in both ... because booze is available at the MK and drunks don't kill people daily in the USA.
Seriously, is there hope for society? I doubt it myself.:violin:

WOOOOOW. Hunting is a pretty big part of Gaston's character, can't believe they'd make a stupid descision like that. As for Country Bear Jamboree, I don't think anything should be changed ESPECIALLY BIG AL!!!!!!! If the show offends you, then there's an easy, simple solution.....DON'T SEE IT!!!!!! Gawd, I'm so tired of the PC era we're living in these days....really starting to depress me.
I went on this the first time and I thought the lyrics were a bit offensive imo, it didn't really offend me but for kids and parents I thought it would. I will never go back to see this show though
Really. I'm pretty sure America isn't more conservative than it was 40 years ago. Nothing seems outlandish or hateful. And it's a troupe of singing bears.
I didn't find it offensive personally but I could see where it could be offensive from the lyrics off one of the songs. It implied sex pretty much which I thought was a bit offensive for the magic kingdom
. And apart from offending my visual/hearing for half an hour.
Country Bear is SIGNIFICANTLY less offensive than Splash Mountain and it's source material. I don't understand why people seem so surprised that 'Song of the South' is in the Vault indefinitely. You can say it wasn't meant to be racial all you want but they directly refer to a character as the "Tar Baby".
While the country is as a whole less conservative, it is far more 'politically correct' than in times past. Words or more specifically terms and certain phrases are considered taboo today, to the point of nausea.
Saw some stuff on Twitter with the changes to this attraction but didnt see any details. Anyone know what all was changed?
5 minutes shorter, a lot of the dialogue between songs has been cut, the finale is extremely shorter, "Devilish Mary" and "Fractured Folk Song" completely cut, a lot of jokes have been cut, some new (and honestly bizarre) looks for the bears, "If Ya Can't Bite, Don't Growl" shortened.
I'm beyond pissed off about this. Bears was always one of "my" attractions. Ripping out a 1/3 of the show is a shameful and terrible move by Disney.

That's a shame. I never really saw this too much as it wasn't my thing, but I definitely appreciate the history/charm behind it. Disney just does not get it.
