Country Bears, The

Aroview: Well done but rather odd family movie, follows the reunion of a country music band made up of fuzzy, guitar twanging… bears.

Incorporating SPINAL TAP-style satire into its story - Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, Elton John and Queen Latifah all talk about the Bears ‘influence’ on them – this good fun for the more ‘ironically aware’ of young viewers, while excellent John Hiatt songs provide musical substance. Puppetry from Jim Henson.
