- Long ago, there was a thriving civilization of small humanoid bears called Gummi Bears. Possessing powerful magic and advanced technology, this race coexisted with humans until the growing rivalry forced the Gummis to flee across the sea, leaving only a small caretaker colony to prepare for a possible return. However, generations passed and the colony forgot their purpose even as human knowledge o

Movie Review: GUMMI BEARS FINALLY ON DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears was long overdo for the DVD treatment. Gummi Bears was the first true mega-hit for Disney when it came to syndicated animated shows in the 1980s. By far it was also one of their longest running animated shows during that time period. For some reason I could never understand Gummi Bears just vanished slightly after Disney changed or completely removed it's afternoon cartoon lineup. There were times would appear on either ToonDisney or the Disney Channel, but even those were rare and there was no consistancy. Mostly it was almost as if the show never existed.
As others have said, even twenty years old, this show, through superb quality, excellent voice work by some of the best in the business during the 1980's and early 1990's, has become a timeless classic.
A fantasy tale set in a Kingdom that always seemed so familar but was never one so real that you could pinpoint the area of the world it would be in real life, has such rich details of character and setting. Never did Disney forget who the Gummi Bears were, or what had happened to their society. Always if there were ruins seen one time they would be there a second time and each gave a hint at something that had once been a far greater in size society then even the human kingdom that 'currently' exists in their world.
Perhaps being in the mid 1980's to early 1990's Gummi Bears was partly spared the idea that a show has to be made to sell a toyline based on the show. True other shows in the 1980's were basically made to sell toys, and I think one show during this time was only made because a company had a toy line they wanted to sell. Gummi Bears though, still being on the early end of idea that the show only exists to sell the toys for the show, was allowed rich characterization, and such vast ideas of how their world can look. There didn't seem to be the concern that now seems to fill most animated shows of, being stuck in how something looks by the question "can we make this easily into a toy".
For those that remember growing up with this show this timeless classic is one to collect and share with your own children. For those that have never yet had a chance to see this wonderful world the Gummi Bears live in, please give it a chance and I fully believe once you do, you too will understand why for so long fans have been longing to see this day when Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears finally makes it to DVD.
