Synopsis

11 year-old Beary Barrington acts differently from everyone else in his family, doesn't look like any of them, and had never quite fit in with his parents or brother. Looking for more folks like himself and his higher purpose in life, Beary strikes out on his own to reunite his favourite band, the Country bears - Ted Bedderhead, Fred Bedderhead, Zeb Zoober and Tennessee O'Neal - for a benefit concert to save Country Bear Hall, the legendary venue where his band got its start. Featuring musical performances or appearances by real life rock-and-roll legends Don Henley, Elton John, John Hiatt, Queen Latifah, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt and Brian Selzer, THE COUNTRY BEARS is about learning that the people who love you, no matter what - that's your family.
