Italia in Miniatura: ORSI SHOW (1993) Historical video 

My mum saw this in 1994. She went to Italy frequently and even lived there for a year

For all the guys that want to know the history of this show, it was bought from Creative Engineering in 1982 and for a year it was used the original English tape. After that it was used the Italian tape that you ear in the video. The show was dismantled sometimes in the 90's because of the poor conditions of the show

For who's curious, a brief explanation of the showtape. Basically the whole gig of the tape is this: Mama Grandbags is "Mother Italy" who invited here her sons from various parts of Italy to perform a song for us. In order: -Pete is "Bepi", comes from Venice, and plays the accordion. -Repete is "Salvatore", comes from Catania, and plays the harp. -Billy Bill is "Cesarino", comes from Rome, and plays the piano. -Billy Boe is "Gino", comes from Milan, and plays the drums. -Billy Wilbur is "Gennariello", comes from Naples, and plays the mandolin. - Billy Bob is "Tognàz", comes from Rimini, and plays the bass. -And lastly, Gooney Bird is "Francesco", simply "a dear old friend of us", as Mother Italy presents him. The story is very simple, with Mother Italy presenting each bear first, then encouraging them to play their songs. After a bit of indecision on who shall start, Repete picks up the challenge and goes first, followed by the others. Gooney Bird is the classic comedy relief character, a bit rude and out of lines, just like in the original CEI tape. Calling Mother Italy old, teasing the bears and stuff. He gets a bonk or two in the head here as well. Besides that, some simple jokes, and a couple lines between each song, there is not much else. After every bear has sung his song, Mother Italy asks all the bears to "demonstrate they can all do something together" by singing with her a lyrical song that is quite widely recognized as a theme for all Italy. List of songs: -Repete: "Vitti na'crozza" -Billy Wilbur: "O Sole Mio" -Pete: "Quel Mazzolin di Fiori" -Billy Bill: "La società dei Magnaccioni" -Billy Boe: "O mia bela Madunina" -Billy Bob: "Romagna Mia" -All together: "Và Pensiero" Each song is traditional of the part of Italy each bear comes from, of course. All in all, a good showtape. The bears are well voiced, but quite deeply stereotyped - names, accents and behaviours are all very typical of each area they come from, exaggerated almost in a comedic way. Still, the acting is mostly good. They hired good VAs for this. The programming is not too terrible either, it shows they tried to make it look nice. Clearly a show made to bring traditional music to kids, and teach very blandly about how different each area of Italy is with dialects and songs. The ending song a nice conclusion about the shared identity Italians have.

OH MY GOD!!! this is amazing! this is probably one of the only things Italy ever got of CEI! bellissimo :)

Wow! Awesome! I did not know there was a (Hard Luck Bears show), in Italy. This is pretty darn awesome and, I hope someday, we can get more information on this (Hard Luck Bears show)!

They have a better showtape and programming than in the Gulliver's "Hard Luck Bears show"

I've been to Italia in miniatura millions of times, even if they have removed the hard luck bears there are still the animatronics in piazza italia looking out the windows

beautiful

Does anyone have the full audio recording of the show???

Lester's Possum Park!! A buon intenditore poche parole :D

If I'm not mistaken Orsi means bears in English also amazing footage.

Did Repete’s long wrench got replaced by a microphone?

Ok, stavo mettendo in digitale una serie di miei video da piccolo e ho trovato un footage pazzesco di Italia in Miniatura nel 1991, quando avevo 3 anni. A un certo punto partono orsi che cantano, una brutta copia di Country Bear Jamboree, mai vista prima. Ho cercato cosa fosse, ed eccolo qui. Pazzesco. Grazie per avermi tolto un punto di domanda! :)

Mamma italia: sarebbe mitzi mozzarela Baby: ? Salvatore: rolfe Cesarino: sarebbe fatz geronimo Gino: sarebbe dook larue Gennariello: sarebbe billy bob Tugnaz: beach bear Francesco: looney bird
