Voice Actors Visit the All-New Country Bear Jamboree at Magic Kingdom
Grab your hats and mosey on over to Grizzly Hall—there’s exciting news for fans of Disney’s beloved Country Bear Musical Jamboree! Voice actors AJ LoCascio and Isaac Robinson-Smith recently had a chance to experience a private screening of the newly refreshed show at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, and it was a foot-stompin’, tear-jerkin’ celebration of everything we love about this classic attraction.

In an Instagram post, LoCascio (@aj_locascio) shared his excitement about reuniting with Robinson-Smith (@irsvoices) for the special viewing:
“@irsvoices@irsvoices helped Sammy find his voice & I lent Henry mine. This is the first time we had watched the show & it was extraordinarily special that we got to do it together. There may have been tears…
”
LoCascio, known for lending his voice to characters like Prince Lotor (Voltron), Marty McFly (Back to the Future games), Han Solo (Star Wars projects), and even Figment, couldn’t contain his joy at watching Henry—his musical, bear-y alter ego—perform in the newly updated Jamboree. And it doesn’t stop there: Robinson-Smith helped bring another lovable bear, Sammy, to life.
The freshly overhauled Country Bear Jamboree reopened in July 2024 following a seven-month refurbishment. The “Country Bear Musical Jamboree” still brings you all the knee-slappin’ country charm, but now it’s outfitted with extra bells, whistles, and even more sparkly rhinestones. LoCascio—who described the experience as a “dream come true”—also thanked the Walt Disney Imagineering team for maintaining the show’s original charm while infusing it with a modern flair:
“Thanks to @jak_e & @johnkaz20 & the incredible @waltdisneyimagineering team for bearin’ with us & bringing the bears back in a way that feels fresh & modern but retains all of the charm & joy of the original! You really really nailed it.”

It’s heartwarming to see the passion behind these performers and the Imagineers who made the revival possible. The result? A bear of a good time that honors tradition while welcoming a new era of magical, musical merriment.
If you’re headed to Magic Kingdom, don’t miss the chance to sing along with Henry, Sammy, and the rest of the band in their sparkling new duds. Whether you’re a longtime devotee or a first-time listener, the updated Country Bear Jamboree promises a toe-tapping adventure for all ages—and maybe even a few happy tears along the way. Yeehaw!
