While I find The Country Bears to be kind of creepy in their big bear suits, Don and Bonnie Raitt are cute here! You can see them at 4:50 and 5:20. If you want to hear their song and don't mind watching their voices come out of weird bear costumes, that starts at 3:50.
I remember making fun of the premise of this movie when I saw the trailer, because I thought the giant bear costumes were creepy too. Years later, when I re-discovered the Eagles and realized Don was actually the singing voice of one of those bears, I absolutely could not believe it. Most Disney movies are very, very good--it was his misfortune that he decided to affiliate with one of the few that really did not work. I chalk his decision up to the fact that he was a relatively new dad, and probably wanted to do something for his kids.
However, it IS funny at the end of this clip when he says, very tongue-in-cheek, that "they are better that the Eagles." :wink:

I've seen a part of the movie, and when I saw Don at that part, I wanted to see the full movie, but I don't like the bears :?

I really hate that movie from the few parts of it that I have seen (the bears freak me out!). I had heard about Don in it but never actually sat down to try to see it. Curiosity might get the better of me next time the kids want to watch it. :fear:

The song, by itself, is actually not bad. Is there a recording of them singing all of the song somewhere?

I'll see if I can upload an MP3.

This isn't from the soundtrack, it's from an audio rip from the movie. Still, better than nothing!
