Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears

Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears was a cartoon that was aired in the United States and other countries in the mid-to-late-1980s. The show was made by The Walt Disney Company and premiered on NBC on September 14, 1985. It was inspired by the gummy bear candies. There are 65 episodes.

The main characters were seven anthropomorphic bears, although some human characters also featured. The series is set in medieval times in the once populous Gummi Glen; the main Gummies' neighborhood is inhabited only by seven gummies. The world has other gummies. Great Gummies are refugees elsewhere awaiting a signal to return. Other gummies live in Ursalia. Allies of the gummies are the people of Dunwyn (King Gregor, Princess Cala, Cavin). Their nemesis is Duke Igthorn, who aims, with the aid of ogres to rule Dunwyn. The theme song, Bouncing here and there and everywhere was written by Michael and Patty Silversher.

The Gummi Bears gained their ability to bounce by drinking Gummiberry Juice. If the juice was consumed by humans, they would (temporarily) gain superhuman strength and for this reason, the bears kept the recipe secret. A fruit juice drink called Gummiberry juice was for a short while retailed in England, and possibly other places.

The Gummies

The seven gummies who live in Gummi Glen are:

• Gruffi - the every-job-gummi
• Zummi - a magician who casts a lot of spells that don't always work the way he wants them to.
• Grammi - matriarch of the Gummi clan, she cooks and cleans and tells the younger Gummi Bears what to do.
• Tummi - the always hungry gummi, notorious for his persistent hunger and apparent unintelligence.
• Sunni - "token teenager" of the bunch who often rebels against the clan but she learns her lessons eventually.
• Cubbi - the youngest gummi, he is always looking for adventure which usually gets him in trouble, but he learns from his mistakes.
• Gusto - the artistic gummi, he is a hermit who lives on a mountain with his pet toucan Arte Deco. Gusto is an artist who is very creative. He sometimes goes to Gummi Glen to visit the rest of the Gummis. Unlike the rest of the Gummis he doesn't appear too often on the show.
