## Synopsis

Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears (1985-1991) is an American animated fantasy adventure series created for ABC, produced by Walt Disney Television with Tokyo Movie Shinsha, and running six seasons across ninety-five short episodes. Gruffi Gummi (voiced by Bill Scott and later Corey Burton) and Zummi Gummi (Paul Winchell) lead a cheerful band of talking bears, joined by Cubbi, Grammi, Tummi and Sunni, who live in a mystical land of giants, wizards, ogres and dragons. The engine of each episode is simple and bright: the Gummis step in when a scheming villain such as Duke Igthorn (Michael Rye) plots against the innocent, and they use wit, teamwork and a little magic to foil him. Each eleven-minute installment stands mostly alone, a case of the week built around a sweet, playful quest, so viewers can drop in at any point. The look is storybook and gentle, with a warm, comforting tone, plenty of laughter and an earnest belief in doing what is right. Fans of DuckTales, TaleSpin and The Legend of Prince Valiant will find the same kid-friendly fairy tale heart and bright adventure, a nostalgic pick for families and anyone who grew up with Saturday morning cartoons.
