Bonnie Raitt Says Making 'The Country Bears' Was Great Fun Fri Jul 26, 8:57 PM ET dailynews.yahoo.com (7/26/02, 6 p.m. ET) -- Opening Friday (July 26) is The Country Bears, a new Disney film about a musical band of bears reunited by an enthusiastic cub seeking out his roots after being raised by a human family. Joining Don Henley and John Hiatt (who wrote the songs for the film) in providing voices for the title characters is Bonnie Raitt, who plays a bear named Trixie. Raitt tells LAUNCH that doing the film was great fun. "It just cracked me up that we were all gonna play these bears. They filmed us in a bar watching our bear characters singing, with our voices coming out of 'em. You know, they're life-sized, animatronic bears that are so unbelievably detailed in the facial expressions, and they were dressed up as us, you know, as older rock artists. It was the first time I didn't have to worry about makeup in a video," she says. While The Country Bears takes up residence in movie theaters, Raitt and summer tour partner Lyle Lovett play Friday at the Oak Mountain Amphitheatre in Pelham, Alabama. -- Gary Graff, Detroit
