First look of new costumes for reimagined Country Bears

In addition to the new music coming to the reimagined Country Bear Musical Jamboree opening this summer at Magic Kingdom, there will be new looks, including bright, bold, and brilliant new costumes for Bunny, Bubbles, and Beulah.

According to Disney, “The new show pays homage to the Opry-style shows of Nashville. While the Country Bear Musical Jamboree will include easter eggs from the beginning to the end including a familiar tune fans may remember, the bears will sing new, reinterpreted Disney tunes in different genres of country music – like bluegrass, pop-country, Americana, rockabilly, and other styles. “

In a new video, Sara Landesberg, a costumer with Disney Live Entertainment, is coordinating the different teams that come together to create a complete garment, hat, or any item that ends up being center stage for the jamboree — including every single rhinestone that is hand-placed across the big-frills costumes.  

“They have lots of repetitive movement, so a lot of times we’ll add gussets or additional pockets of fabric to give them more room to move in those repetitive movements without destroying the costume,” Landesberg said.
