* HilariousInHindsight: [[http://forums.delphiforums.com/toughpigs/messages/16367/1 This thread]] touches upon some of the similarities between this film and another Disney film, ''Film/TheMuppets''. Basically, both films have a puppet character raised in an all-human family who feels different, tries to find his purpose, and ends up getting his favorite group back together so they can save a theater from being demolished by a CorruptCorporateExecutive played by a guy named Christopher. While it's not mentioned in the thread, there's also a subplot about a messy breakup, which is resolved when the couple involved in said breakup reunite to perform a duet during the climax of the film. Not to mention that ''Country Bears'' also had Henson involvement; namely, the bears were designed by Creator/JimHensonsCreatureShop.

Egregious cleanup


** The majority of the musical numbers have no connection to the plot and suddenly disappear as bizarrely as they start, with "Kick It Into Gear" being the most egregious example.

Added DiffLines:

* SerialNumberFiledOff: The premise is very similar to ''Film/TheBluesBrothers'' but with country music, not blues/R&B; The band is bears; they aim to put on a show to save a special place; without swearing. Scenes in both movies in the search to gather the band members include a diner with a song and dance number. The wedding band scene is similar to the lounge band scene in The Blues Brothers.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: In contrast to the cartoonish cute-looking bears of the Disneyland ride, the bears of this film are more realistically designed, with small eyes and sharp teeth, which causes them to look more frightening than endearing.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Trying to make a tenuously-connected road trip family comedy starring people in creepy bear suits based off of a Disney World attraction that hadn't been popular with guests in nearly two decades went over with audiences about as well as you might think. What helps prove this point is that the Disneyland version of the attraction closed ten months before the movie came out, meaning the core concept wasn't popular enough to keep as a ride there, yet they still released a movie based on it.

** The musical numbers appear to be this as well, with "Kick It Into Gear" being the most egregious example.

* MemeticMutation: Thanks to WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, this line that Christopher Walken's character says toward the end of the film, which the Critic describes as him suddenly remembering there are bears in the movie, became the most memorable thing about it.
