English Summary:

The Country Bears is a 2002 American family musical comedy 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.

The Country Bears are an all-bear country rock band who have disbanded in 1991 after years of popularity. Beary Barrington, a large admirer of the band and a young preteen bear adopted and raised by a human family, feels disowned for being different. His adoptive father tells him that his family will love him unconditionally regardless, and that differences lead everyone to their purposes. But Beary's adoptive older brother, Dex, tells him the truth about his background.

DetailsAngry, embarrassed and sad, Beary runs away from home in the middle of the night and ventures out to the Country Bear Hall, the former concert hall of the Country Bears. Beary learns from the property caretaker Big Al and the band's manager Henry Dixen Taylor that Country Bear Hall is threatened with destruction by greedy banker Reed Thimple. After many attempts to raise $20,000 to save Country Bear Hall, Beary suggests to Henry to hold a benefit concert and the two of them set out to reunite the group with the band's bus driver and drummer Roadie. Meanwhile, the Barringtons have enlisted police officers named Officer Cheets and Officer Hamm to find Beary.

Hungarian Summary:

Beary negyedikes medvebocs szüleivel és bátyjával éldegél. Minden szép és jó, kivéve egy dolgot: Beary nem ám csak rajzfilm, hanem igazi, élő és beszélő medve. Nem érzi teljesen úgy, hogy befogadnák őt a többiek. Beary elszökik otthonról, hogy megkeresse kedvenceit, a Country Bears zenés-táncos csapatot, akik régen nagyon ügyesek voltak, de mára már szétszéledtek. Ráadásul le akarják bontani színházukat. Húszezer dollárt kellene összeszedni, hogy az épület fennmaradjon. Beary óriási ötlettel áll elő: meg lehetne menteni a színházat, ha újra összeáll a régi csapat. A koncertek bevételéből pedig megmentenék a színházat. Barátaival neki is áll felkutatni az ügyes medvéket, csakhogy a rendőrök meg éppen őt keresik, mert azt hiszik, a Country Bears csapata rabolta el...
