Bear Country Opening Sign

In 1972, a new land opened in Disneyland. Replacing the Indian Village of yore, a merry band of bears set up home in a theater and presented a down home show. The bears featured designs by Marc Davis and Al Bertino and other Imagineers. The land has been renamed to Critter Country and the bear band has been replaced by an English bear. I still have great memories of Bear Country and the fun to be had in this small land.
