I was recently thinking about brining back the ol' Country Bear Jamboree and I got curious and wondered where are the anamatronics now? I know Max, Melvin, and Buff are in Winnie the Pooh and that one of the Big Al's was resused to make Oogie Boogie for Haunted Mansion Holiday. So if anyone knows there current location please share, I would love to know. Thanks.

I had no idea that Big Al was Oogie Boogie. Geez, I'll never be able to look at that burlap sack without thinking there's a bear with a guitar struggling to get out. :D

Not anymore. They replaced it with an entirely new animatronic figure in 2005. No idea what happened to the old original one now.

I started this thread because today marks the anniversery of the day the bears left.

Worms? No - it's blood.

My guess is they were shipped off to FL to serve as spares for the show there.

I think it was intended as a play on the fact that in the film, Oogie Boogie is full of worms and bugs.

That would be my guess too. Makes sense.

Actually, the three heads in Winnie the Pooh are not from the CBJ. They are the smaller versions from the Mile Long Bar.

Yep, it was intended as a joke. Sorry I confused you Drince.
