Adventures of the Gummi Bears (1985–1991)

One of the Few Saturday Morning Cartoons Worth Watching

[10/10 · 5 January 2007]

Remember Saturday Morning cartoons? That's the time slot where mostly forgettable cartoons aired. There are some gems though and this show "Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears" is one of those gems. This show is better than the usual Saturday Morning mundane cartoon fare.(most Saturday Morning cartoons back in the late 60s and 70s have limited animation, forgettable characters and repetitive plots and story lines). The animation is different than the usual Saturday Morning cartoon fare of the time, the stories are wonderful and the characters are lovable and complex unlike most other Saturday Morning cartoons during it's time. The characters live in Gummi Glen in a tree in a forest. The Gummies go on tons of adventures and they drink Gummi Berri Juice and that's what makes them bounce and it makes the humans super(temporarily). This show paved way for later Disney Golden Era classics such as DuckTales, TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck, Rescue Rangers and so many others. It's sad that Disney is making lame cartoons nowadays and not ones like this one. I definitely recommend checking this show out. It made Saturday Mornings more fun and parents, buy the DVD box set for your kids, they will love the show. If you like this show, check out other Disney Golden Era TV cartoons such as DuckTales or TaleSpin.
