The ultimate family animated series, “Disney’s
Adventures of the Gummi Bears.” Every Saturday morning we gathered around the
television to watch the Gummi-Glen Gummis—Cubbi, Sunni, Gruffi, Zummi, Tummi
and Grammi—bouncing here and there and everywhere. And, after all these years, I am
still trying to get my hands on some of that Gummiberry Juice.
Thought of as mere legends after humans forced their species into exile centuries prior, the magically-skilled bears live inside a tree outside the medieval kingdom of Dunwyn as the last remainders of their civilization. In the first episode, the Gummis encounter and befriend a human, Cavin—the squire of Sir Tuxford—who keeps close to him a Gummi medallion passed down by his grandfather. Throughout their many adventures, they seek to protect their secrets of magic, as well as King Gregor and his castle from the exiled Duke Sigmund Igthorn and his army of ogres.

The series includes 94 episodes. It originally debuted
on NBC where it spent four seasons before subsequently moving to ABC for the
final season and afternoon syndicated programming. Many of the episodes are
uploaded on YouTube, and Seasons 1–3 are available on DVD.
Watching “Disney’s Adventures of the Gummi Bears” is extremely emblematic of my childhood family time. It is one of those cartoons with such well-developed characters that it is utterly impossible to pin-point a favorite. The series is charming and the adventures are so compelling that parents love to watch as well. It is an absolute classic and a precious precious gem.
