The Country Bears is a 2002 American musical road comedy[2] film directed by Peter Hastings, produced by Walt Disney Pictures, and based on the Disney theme park attraction Country Bear Jamboree. The film stars Christopher Walken, Daryl Mitchell, Diedrich Bader (in a dual role), Alex Rocco, and Haley Joel Osment as the voice of Beary Barrington with the voice talents of Candy Ford, James Gammon, Brad Garrett, Toby Huss, Kevin Michael Richardson, and Stephen Root.
It was Disney's second theatrical film based on an attraction at one of its theme parks, and the third overall film based on an attraction following the television film Tower of Terror (1997) and the theatrically released Mission to Mars (2000). The film was released theatrically in the United States on July 26, 2002. This was Hastings' directorial debut, and it was a critical and commercial flop, grossing $18 million of its $35 million budget.
