This thread is about the rocking 80's cartoon Adventures of the Gummi Bears
Gummi Bears is the story of bears living in a Dark Age forest, named Gummi Glen, who gain superhuman (superbear?) powers after drinking gummiberry juice. This power usually included bouncing around here and there and everywhere.
The Gummi Bears have human friends like Cavin the squire and Princess Calla who help save them from the clutches of Duke Igthorn and his ogre minions who strive to gain the power of the gummijuice.
This was Disney's first original cartoon series which would one day give birth to other kickass shows such as Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck, and Talespin.
I remember I had this tape full of songs from this show, and I played it on my little radio cassette player thing ALL THE TIME and eventually my dad threw it away when I was at a sleepover
That said I barely remember anything about this show other than gummibear juice being really important
Chummi Gummi (Jim Cummings) - A Gummi bear who was in search of Gummi Glen as a rest stop prior to arriving at at New Gumbrea where the Great Gummies were situated. However, Igthorn and his ogres popped his blimp, landing near Gummi Glen. Cavin and Cubbi discovered him unconscious. After awakening, he inspired the Glen Gummies to follow him aboard his blimp so that they could live with the Great Gummies. All, except for Cubbi who would later have a change of heart, had decided to remain at Gummi Glen. Cubbi and Chummi were on there way to their distination until Igthorn stowed away on the blimp and took control of it and kidnapped Calla afterward. After Cubbi's and Cavin's heroics, Cubbi and Chummi continued their quest toward their destination until Cubbi realized that he couldn't leave his family. Chummi continued the voyage on his own.
I liked Gummi Bears when it was on Disney Afternoon, but it could not hold a candle to Rescue Rangers or Ducktales. Seriously. In fact the two hour disney afternoon block of ducktales, rescue rangers, talespin, and darkwing duck was the best tv ever. Just plopping myself in front of the tv after school and enjoying.
I was just talking with some people about this show a few days ago at work. None of us could remember the name of the guy who turned out to be Duke Sigmond Igthorn. Thanks, wikipedia!

Don't forget Bonkers.
Man, afternoons after school used to be the best thing.
To this day I still sing this theme song randomly for no reason
Didn't they like battle orcs and seige castles and stuff by bouncing and have some kind of bounce-roids to get over the walls?
Also, when humans drank gummiberry juice, they became super strong, but only for like a minute or two. I think it may have had a similar effect upon ogres.

O sweet jesus I remember this show and its awesomeness. The part of canada I live in it use to come on all the time on saturday mornings. A few years ago a friend and I were going through some old VHS tapes he had. On them of course were cartoons, for a second when this came on I didn't clue in that it was the Gummy Bears but then it all came back. My friend and I both looked at each other and were like those mother fucking Gummy bears. It was weird but funny.

Because somehow I missed it.
I remember watching Care Bears thinking it was some sort of opening act to the show
Dude, Canada got all the kids shows that the States did
Maybe you were in a coma for most of your childhood
This show is awesome!
I once saw a live action Gummie Bear play thing and it was amazing.
I'm surprised in all my interneting I have never seen this.
Or a furry fan-art of Sunni
Almost, except less blood.
And more awesome
These would be delicious.
It's oh so easy to find.
I remember that in the later episodes there is a whole Gummi Bears kingdom.
It is so good
chocolate covered pretzels are like crack to me
Except instead of the steady deterioration of your mind and body you just get fat
Everybody wins!
