Profile of The Country Bears

The Country Bears can be described as feel good and humorous. The plot revolves around adoption, mischievous children, and a music band. The main genres are comedy, family, and animation. In terms of style, The Country Bears is a music concert. In approach, it is not serious and fantastical. It is located in Tennessee. The soundtrack of The Country Bears is rock. It is well suited for kids and a family outing.

Summary of The Country Bears

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.

Critics Reviews

Variety
Toddlers and pre-teens will be entertained, and parents will be pleasantly surprised, by this more-than-just-bearable musical road movie.
Entertainment Weekly
It's sort of an ursine ''The Last Waltz,'' with more costumes and no direction from Martin Scorsese.
