Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears


One of my favorite cartoons growing up was “Disney’s Adventures of the Gummi Bears.” This cartoon is about a magical place called Gummi Glen; an underground home that was once home to hundreds of Gummies, but now only Gruffi, Grammi, Sunni, Tummi, Zummi, and Cubbi remain. The series is set in medieval times; therefore the show includes many medieval references such as Duke Igthorn, whose main goal is to rule Dunwyn. The Gummi Bears are able to bounce by drinking Gummiberry Juice. If a human drinks the powerful juice they gain superhuman strength. Because of its powerful effects, the Gummies kept this powerful juice a secret. The reason I enjoyed this cartoon so much as a child is because it is completely mystical and magical. The gummies have jumping powers; each episode is full of fun and mischief and in the end the gummies prevail over the villains.
