Originally designed and was in the Disneyland Resort, Walt wanted to create an attraction that had a bear focused band. Walt Disney died before he was able to see the attraction's completion, but it was still carried forth, by the Imagineer Marc Davis.
It was continued and by 1971, it was released in Florida and soon afterward was sent to the Disneyland Resort. Disneyland had created a land called Bear Country (later to be called Critter Country upon the attraction's removal).
In 2001, the ride was removed from Disneyland, but the restraunt that was attached to the show still remains and is still active. It is often used as a pit stop for people coming off of Splash Mountain or a restroom after the Haunted Mansion. In it's replacement, Winnie the Pooh was put in place, but there are still remnants of the attraction if you look in the rooms of the Pooh attraction.
The attractions till exists in Florida, but it was a large success and after the success of Pirates of the Caribbean in the big screen, they did the same and made a Country Bears film. Though not successful, it is still a treasured film that any Country Bear fan should check out.
