Here is a look into the Animatronic figures of the original Bear-y Tales ride that are owned by the Tetley, Rodriguez, and Stack's Liberty Ranch collections. This is only a handful of the surviving characters as there are quite a lot of the old ride still around and in storage! The characters shown in order are Sarah Skunk, Harry the Puppeteer, a frog, Elder Bear-y, Rocky The Rascal, and Wanda Fox! All as they appeared recently (such as Rocky and Elder) or from their last appearance in 1986. Hence, the spooky look on Wanda and Sarah due to dippy 1980s refurb work on their faces. Compared to how they appeared originally in 1975 from when Rolly Crump first installed the ride alongside Fantasy Fair and Design 27.
Maybe someday we can go into the animations, more characters, and other details? How does that sound?
