11''Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears'' is a show by Creator/WaltDisneyTelevisionAnimation and Creator/TMSEntertainment, which produced the animation for the show's first four seasons; it was replaced by Walt Disney Animation Japan for the rest of the show's run. Although ''WesternAnimation/TheWuzzles'' was Disney's first original animated TV series, that was really a trial run for this series, which almost immediately made the company a dominant force in television animation. This series lasted from September 1985 to February 1991, with a total of 94 episodes; it initially aired on Creator/{{NBC}} before moving to [[Creator/AmericanBroadcastingCompany ABC]] in 1989[[note]]Along with ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'' to comprise the ''Gummi Bears[=/=]Winnie the Pooh Hour''[[/note]] and then to syndication as part of ''WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon''.
12
13The show was actually a major gamble for Disney, as it was a very new idea. Disney reasoned that the costs of a high-quality animated show could be recovered in syndication. Also, TV animation companies like Creator/HannaBarbera and Creator/{{Filmation}} had to operate within the network license fees for their productions to keep the studios alive, while Creator/{{Disney}}, a major media corporation with renewed strength, could directly finance their TV work on top of the network license fees for a future payoff. The gamble worked, and a new era of unprecedented quality in western television animation was born with Disney's competitors eventually being forced to raise their production standards and budgets to avoid unfavorable comparisons. In short, this series helped usher in UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation.
14
15The series takes place in TheThemeParkVersion of medieval times, centuries after the "Great Gummis" fled across the sea, while a small caretaker colony stayed behind in Gummi Glen, in the Kingdom of Dunwyn, to maintain the civilization's extremely sophisticated infrastructure, on the off-chance the Gummis could return to live with humans in peace.
16
17Unfortunately, when the story begins, the Glen Gummis have declined to only six descendants, who have forgotten their past skills. Fortunately, they meet a friendly human boy named Cavin, who possesses a Gummi Medallion found by his grandfather, that unlocks their library's Great Book of Gummi, the essential book of their culture's knowledge. Inspired, the colony decide to rediscover their heritage and help the boy, whose kingdom is under dire threat.
18
19That threat comes in the form of Duke Igthorn of Drekmore and his army of really dumb ogres. He is out to conquer Dunwyn and upon discovering that the supposedly mythological Gummi Bears exist, he will stop at ''nothing'' to exploit their secrets, like their powerful magic and technology, for his own use. Furthermore, he is but the most frequent of a whole host of enemies that the Gummi Bears and their human allies must oppose.
20
21If you're wondering how they came up with this show's premise, as the story goes, Michael Eisner was inspired when his son [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gummi_bear requested Gummi Bears]].
22
23The show is animated by four different studios: TMS, Japan (39 episodes), Walt Disney Japan (17,5 episodes), Walt Disney Australia (8 episodes) and Guimaraes, Brazil (one segment).
24
25The show was incorporated into the backstory of the rebooted ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'', which posits the Gummi Bears as a legendary ancient race who left behind the recipe for their juice which is now being fought over, though unfortunately the word "Gummi" can't actually be used in the show due to rights issues with the candy.
26
27The show is streaming on its entirety on [[Creator/DisneyPlus Disney+]].
28
29----
30!!This show includes examples of:
31
32* ActorAllusion: In one episode, Grammi (voiced by Creator/JuneForay), says [[WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle "Hokey smokes!"]].
33* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The theme song.
34-->'''D'''ashing and '''d'''aring, '''c'''ourageous and '''c'''aring,
35-->'''F'''aithful and '''f'''riendly with '''s'''tories to '''s'''hare...
36--><...>
37-->'''M'''agic and '''m'''ystery are part of their history...
38* AffablyEvil: Duke Igthorn.
39* AllAnimalsAreDogs: The baby griffins in "Gummi Dearest" act like a lot like puppies, wagging their tails when pleased and licking faces affectionately.
40* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent:
41** Cavin's parents are never seen or mentioned, his only known relative being his grandfather Sir Gawain. He does mention leaving home to go to Dunwyn to become a knight in "He Who Laughs Last".
42** This is actually TruthInTelevision, becoming a page was a medieval boy's first step toward knighthood. Cavin should eventually graduate to squire at about age 14, becoming a full knight at 21.
43* AmbiguouslyGay:
44** Gusto Gummi is yet another in the long-standing Disney television tradition of figures who are coded just enough as gay to appeal to gay youth and gay young adults but not enough to be noticed by and draw the wrath of conservative parents or paranoid advertising sponsors.
45** Gusto's eccentricity is explained to be a consequence of living alone so long. The trope is ultimately averted as Gusto is romantically interested in Sunni when she briefly becomes a grown Gummi in "Rocking Chair Bear".
46* AnIcePerson: Chillbeard the frost giant.
47* AndYourLittleDogToo: The witch Marzipan says this to Calla in "Eye of the Beholder," after being exposed - except it's a pig, not a dog, and the pig is actually a disguised Sunni.
48* ArbitrarySkepticism: In spite that they live in a world filled with dragons, ogres, wizardry and many other things stranger than techicolor furry talking bears, most people tend to believe that Gummis are just fairy tale creatures following their disappearance ages ago. The Glen Gummis prefer to keep it that way until they find all of humanity trustful enough to bring in more families.
49* BadassAdorable:
50** Cubbi is extremely cute, but he's usually very capable in their adventures, even though he's just a little bear cub. His badassery is exponentially enlarged when he takes on his "Crimson Avenger" secret identity.
51** All the bears are this to an extent. Would you really expect something so cute and small to be able to open up such a can of whoopass?
52* BadassLongcoat: Flint Shrubwood, the BountyHunter Igthorn hires in "For A Few Sovereigns More" to capture a Gummi Bear. Unlike most minor villains in Disney cartoons, he's actually ''capable''. He effortlessly captures Cubbi and subdues the Duke when he refuses to pay up. With a more reliable sponsor, this man would be a HeroKiller. (Fortunately, he's clearly OnlyInItForTheMoney.)
53* {{Badbutt}}: Gruffi.
54* TheBadGuyWins: In the GrandFinale, Igthorn ends up mastering the Gummiberry Juice recipe, destroying Gummi Glen, and taking over Dunwyn. Too bad for him it didn't last as the knights and Gummis foil his plan and drive him out.
55* BagOfKidnapping: Seen when Igthorn kidnaps "Calla" (really Sunni in disguise) in "A Gummi by Any Other Name".
56* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Zummi, Gruffi and Grammi do not wear shoes.
57* BatmanGambit: Igthorn's scheme in "King Igthorn, Part I" is a rather long-form one. [[spoiler:He has his forces procure a special termite (Big Tooth) and then stays out of sight for an entire year. Once everyone's guard is down, he ensures Big Tooth gets into Gummi Glen by having Toadworth covertly slip the bug into Zummi's hat; almost immediately, the place is destroyed and the Gummis are left out in the open. Igthorn quickly captures Zummi and then Grammi and Tummi, too, which results in him finally getting the Gummiberry Juice recipe and waging a full-scale assault on Dunwyn.]]
58* BearsAreBadNews: Despite their adorable form, Gummis as a whole are all capable to be formidable opponents to anyone who threaten them or their friends, whether by machines, traps, or Gummiberry Juice.
59* BearyFriendly: As the theme song states, they are all courageous and caring, faithful and friendly.
60* BerserkButton: Gruffi has a magical one in "Sweet and Sour Gruffi." The word "thanks" makes him evil.
61** [[ThePaladin Sir Victor]] does not like it when someone mocks his steed, Destiny.
62* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor:
63** In "When You Wish Upon A Stone" a young boy wishing to be bigger turned into [[OurGiantsAreBigger giant.]]
64** Sunni takes to singing in "A Gummi In A Gilded Cage" and hopes she can sing in front of kings one day. Seconds after saying so, she's carried off by Carpies (giant vultures) who were ordered by ''their'' king to find a new "songbird". Sunni is not pleased.
65* BetterTheDevilYouKnow: In "Just a Tad Smarter", when the ogres kick Igthorn out and Toadwart's cousin Tadpole takes over, he treats them even worse than Igthorn did. Not only does he mistreat them the same way, he ''makes them take baths!'' After the ogres call a truce with the Gummis (who also regard Tadpole as worse because he was smart enough to have the ogres target the Gummi Berry Bushes), they help them find Igthorn again, who at least dearly values the Gummi Berries himself for his own ends. All the Duke has to do is promise there'll be no more baths, and he's back in charge.
66* BewareTheNiceOnes: Gummi Bears are friendly, helpful, and loyal, but assuming they're weak is a ''big'' mistake.
67* BigEater: Tummi. Gets him in trouble in at least one episode.
68* {{Blackmail}}: In "The White Knight", Duke Igthorn blackmails his brother Sir Victor into helping him conquer Dunwyn. [[spoiler:However, after the attack is thwarted, Sir Victor reveals that Igthorn is his brother to the whole of Dunwyn so Igthorn won't be able to blackmail him over it again.]]
69* BlindAndTheBeast: Tummi befriends a blind human woman in one episode.
70* BlindWithoutEm: Zummi.
71* BluffTheEavesdropper: In one episode, the King tries to find out a famous chef's secret recipe by listening at the door, which the chef thwarts by reciting absolute nonsense instead of his ingredients. However, this does not thwart Cubbi, Sunni, and Tummi, who are hiding in the kitchen and can write down the actual steps he's taking.
72* BouncingBattler: Gummiberry Juice makes Gummi Bears incredibly bouncy and quick. They usually save it for battles or emergency situations.
73* BreakingTheFourthWall: Aside from [[AsideComment Aside Comments]], the show generally avoided this trope--making it comically unexpected in "Patchwork Gummi" when Toadie straightup turns to the camera and ''winks'' at the audience while making a wisecrack.
74* BumblingSidekick: Toadwart for Duke Igthorn.
75* ButtMonkey: Toadie. Even his fellow ogres pick on him.
76* CassandraTruth: Cavin's grandfather tells of his adventures with the Gummi Bears. The Dunwynians love his stories, but don't believe him at all. Unfortunately, while Cavin does believe him, he is unable to confirm it with him.
77* ChainedHeat: Cubbi and Igthorn in "For A Few Sovereigns More," after Igthorn tries to double-cross a bounty hunter he hired to capture Cubbi.
78* ChekhovsGun: The ChekhovsVolcano in "My Gummi Lies Over the Ocean" (see below) is also one of these. Earlier in the episode, Gruffi tells Cubbi that steam is dangerous when the latter tries to unjam a teapot. Later in the episode, Gruffi realizes he can use the steam from the volcano to get him, Tummi and Gusto off of Gusto's doomed volcano island. He thanks Cubbi for the inspiration.
79* ChekhovsVolcano: Accompanied by ConvectionSchmonvection in "My Gummi Lies Over the Ocean".
80* TheChewToy: Toadie.
81* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome:
82** Cavin comes down with a ''nearly'' lethal case. Cavin starts as the main human character, meeting the Gummi Bears in "A New Beginning". Introduced as the page (a knight-in-training) to head knight Sir Tuxford, its though him the audience is introduced to the Gummi Bears (and through him the Gummi's get a Gummi medallion). Later, Cavin shares his role with Princess Cala as the Gummi's human confidante. Without explanation, he vanishes after being jailed in "The Crimison Advenger" midway through the second season. Cavin makes one appearance as a main character near the end of the third season ("Knights of Gummadoon"). He's again absent for several episodes, until making a full recovery in Season 4.
83** Unwin, Sir Tuxford's page and a bully to Cavin, isn't so lucky. He disappears after Season 4.
84* CityOfAdventure: Dunwyn.
85* ClingyMacguffin: A Gummi medallion can be lost or dropped, but it cannot be taken from a Gummi Bear by force (humans, should they get one, have no such privilege) and will zap anyone who tries.
86* ClockPunk: The general nature of recovered Gummi technology.
87* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: In one episode, Toadwart gets a suit of armor that makes him invincible in battle.
88* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}:
89** Gusto. Spending twelve years on an island with only a talking toucan for company can do things to a guy.
90** Thornberry fares similarly, due to spending even longer by himself and not having anyone for company.
91* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: Averted in that Gruffi complains a lot, but his practical nature means his call on things is often right and the other Gummis respect him for it.
92* ConspicuouslyLightPatch: The various "secret doors" in particular almost always exhibit this.
93* ContinuitySnarl: Sir Thornberry says he's been guarding Ursalia for fifty years despite the fact that the Great Gummies fled across the ocean five hundred years ago.
94* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: The Deluxe Torture Plan:
95-->'''Toadwart:''' You'll be forced to listen to a medley of popular folk tunes sung by Gad and Zook.
96* CoolBigSis: Calla is a surrogate one to Sunni.
97* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: "Duel of the Wizards" is one huge example of this; when the arrogant plane-walking wizard Don Gordo is trapped in Dunwyn Forest after Igthorn steals the magic key that lets him travel between worlds, he starts tearing the forest apart looking for it. When Zummi and Gruffi ask him, he rudely brushes them off, leading to an episode-spanning fight that ends with them finally knocking him off of his high horse and forcing him to explain himself. Zummi, who had the key fall on his head when Igthorn hid it near the episode's start, promptly [[LampshadeHanging calls him out on his foolishness]].
98-->'''Zummi''': If you had just accepted our help when we first offered it, we could have avoided all this trouble.
99* CowardlyLion: Sir Tuxford is like this ''most'' of the time, but he can be somewhat brave if the situation warrants it; he's just slowing down in his old age.
100* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Tummi.
101* DaddysGirl: Sunni seems to have this relationship with Gruffi.
102* DavidVersusGoliath: The main cast is a group of miniature bears and two children, while the bad guys consist of an adult human and a mob of ogres. As such, most conflicts fall into this trope (though gummiberry juice makes the playing field slightly more level).
103* DeadpanSnarker:
104** Gruffi. Snarking is main way of communicating.
105** Grammi tends to repay him in kind.
106* DidntThinkThisThrough: In "A Gummi a Day Keeps the Doctor Away" Tummi helps Doctor Dexter by spiking his potion with Gummiberry juice. It works in giving the people of Dunwyn superstrength until the juice wears off and Dexter is confronted by (another) mob of angry customers.
107* DietEpisode: In "The Oracle", Tummi Gummi gets put on a diet.
108* DisabilityImmunity: Being stupid is actually a benefit for Igthorn's ogres sometimes. In one episode, Igthorn's plan involves using [[MagicMusic magical bagpipes]] that hypnotize people, which only work on intelligent creatures. (That leaves his men out.) In another episode, it's stated that a [[TheFairFolk slumber sprite's]] spell might put Gruffi to sleep forever, but it only works on the ogres for about a minute, because as the sprite says, "they're so dumb!"
109* DisguisedInDrag: "Tuxford's Turnaround" features a two-fer. Toadie (reluctantly) dons such a disguise to infiltrate Dunwyn and signal the ogre army when enough people leave the castle to watch the knights' tournament. Meanwhile, with Tuxford beginning to doubt his abilities, Cavin tries to lift his spirits by faking an attack in need of foiling; the young page plays the would-be attacker, while Tummi and Cubbi form a TwoMenOneDress to be a (masked) princess.
110* TheDitherer: Tummi in "The Fence Sitter".
111* {{Duck}}: Someone shouts this when a fish goes flying through the air. Another character remarks, "That's not a duck, it's a fish," before getting hit in the face.
112* DumbMuscle: The Ogres.
113* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Gummi Glen has an unusually realistic take on such a habitat and the various tasks necessary to maintain it and the consequences of neglecting it is a source of story material
114* EldritchLocation: Drekmore, a land where nothing of any use grows, plants are deadly and may purposely try to kill you, and the even the mountainsides want to kill you. Castle Drekmore, perched high on a cliff over the sea, pushes the boundary of what's possible to build. Duke Igthorn is literally the only human being who lives there. Although the dukedom legitimately belongs to the Igthorn family, the castle had been abandoned for many years before Igthorn took up residence. In "Light Makes Right", Igthorn reveals that he grew up in a house in Dunwyn ([[spoiler: and presumably his brother Sir Victor as well]]).
115* EmbarrassingFirstName: Duke Sigmund Igthorn.
116-->"Siggy Soggy-Shorts!"
117* EnemyMine:
118** In the episode "Just A Tad Smarter", Toadwart's cousin Tadpole takes over Castle Drekmore, kicks Duke Igthorn out, and orders the ogres to destroy all the Gummiberry bushes. Neither Igthorn nor the Gummis want the bushes destroyed, so they reluctantly team up to get rid of Tadpole. (Not to mention that he ''makes the ogres take baths'', something they ''really'' hate to do!)
119** In "For A Few Sovereigns More", Duke Igthorn hires a bounty hunter to catch a Gummi Bear. When the hunter returns with Cubbi and Igthorn refuses to pay, he and Cubbi are tossed into a dungeon cell and have to work together to escape.
120* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Drekmore is one ''nasty'' place to live. Beyond the marauding tribes of ogres, there's packs of carnivorous sabertoothed rabbits, huge swathes of bomb-plants, literal strangler vines, eagles big enough to carry off Gummi Bears, ''sentient cliff faces that deliberately drop giant rocks on people walking past''...
121* EvilSorcerer: Malevolent or otherwise trouble-making wizards and witches show up multiple times through the series, ranging from self-centered jerks to full-blown magical marauders.
122* EvilTwin: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Sigmund Igthorn has a ''good'' twin, (Duke Igthorn being the evil one). His [[SiblingYinYang heroic knightly brother]] Sir Victor (whom Cavin idolizes) is deeply ashamed for the misdeeds of his family and spends his life trying to atone for his brother's actions.
123* EvilerThanThou: Flint Shrubwood is this to Duke Igthorn. If you don't give him his gold, you've got a bad thing coming. Heck, he took out an entire squad of ogres.
124* ExpositoryThemeTune: Quoted above.
125* {{Expy}}: Cavin and Calla bear more than a passing resemblance to [[WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron Taran and Elionwy]], in both physical appearance and role in the story. The Mexican Spanish dub makes this even more blatant as they even share the same ''voice actors''.
126** Likewise, Toadie is a short, green, SycophanticServant who serves as second-in-command to the antagonist and is kicked around by larger minions. Just like Creeper
127** The scene in "A Gummi In A Gilded Cage" where Tummi is trying to stop two Carpies from carrying Sunni off brings to mind Taran trying to stop the dragons from taking Hen Wen. Especially since in both instances, the flying monsters are kidnapping something their king wants.
128* FantasticRacism: Part of the reason Gummi Bears are now the stuff of fairy tales is they were all so mistreated by humans that they either sailed away or went into hiding as their numbers dwindled.
129** The views of humans zigzag from each Glen Bear, with only Gruffi mostly distrustful. Barbics, on the other hand, all have varied fear or hatred towards them.
130* FantasyHelmetEnforcement: Sort of. When Tummi builds a boat in "My Gummi Lies Over the Ocean," he and Gruffi are wearing what appear to be life jackets.
131* {{Fartillery}}: A variant of the "weaponized belching" variety. In one episode, Sunni unwittingly gives Gummiberry Juice to a baby dragon, who develops the hiccups. This causes it to constantly burp up bubbles with little flames inside... which erupt into huge explosions when the bubbles break. Igthorn promptly captures the dragon to try and bombard Dunwyn with them. Fortunately, it's all solved when the mother dragon returns, rescues her baby, and cures its hiccups by burping it.
132* FateWorseThanDeath: In the Season Six episode "Thornberry To The Rescue", [[spoiler: an evil spider called the Spinster kidnaps Gummi Bears but they are rescued by Sir Thornberry and Cavin. To make sure that The Spinster never bothers them again, they leave her tied up in an underground cave, the entrance to which is later boarded up by Gruffi. It is also implied in the episode that the Spinster might be immortal as she was originally imprisoned by the ancient Great Gummis, which makes her fate even worse.]]
133* FeatheredFiend: Carpies, which are avaricious and vicious humanoid vultures who kidnap Sunni in one episode.
134* FloatingContinent: Aerial Isle.
135* FoodAsBribe: Igthorn tries to bribe Tummi with food to find the location of Gummi Glen.
136* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: The Gummis go without costume into Dunwyn on Folly Day.
137* FountainOfYouth: Gummiberry juice mixed with baby powder ends up turning Igthorn's ogre army into babies.
138* FourFingeredHands: The titular bears, the ogres, the dragons and other (mythological) animals in the show, but not the humans, have them.
139* FreezeFrameBonus: Two instances in the second season episode "Light Makes Right." When Igthorne is reading ''Tall Tales of the Gummi Bears'' if you freeze-frame as he flips the pages you can see a text description of the previous scene with Igthorne and Toadie at Castle Drekmore. When Cavin looks through the book later, if you freeze frame you can see quoted song lyrics from "I Just Called to Say I Love You," and "We Are the World," as well as a reference to Leopold Stokowski, who conducted the orchestra for the Disney film ''Fantasia.'' The final page before the page Igthorne ripped out reads "The Gummi's famous Nine Old Bears Frank and Ollie," which is a reference to legendary Disney animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, members of Disney's "Nine Old Men."
140* FrenchJerk: Princess Marie and her father, although they both prove to be [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold decent people later on.]]
141* FullCircleRevolution: In "Just a Tad Smarter," the ogres replace Igthorn with Tadpole in the belief that a fellow ogre will be kinder to them, but once he's in power Tadpole is just as bad as or worse than Igthorn.
142* GoneBehindTheBend: "A Gummi A Day Keeps The Doctor Away" has a scene where Gruffi and Tummi get chased by ogres while saving a kindly doctor from Duke Igthorn. The chase scene then leads to the two Gummis and the ogres running around the top part of the castle, until only the ogres are seen running around.
143-->'''Tummi:''' [[LampshadeHanging I wonder how long they're gonna keep this up.]]
144* GrandFinale: "King Igthorn." (It should be noted, in its original U.S. airing, 6 more episodes would premier afterwards that chronologically take place before the finale.)
145* GrandTheftMe: Igthorn steals Tummi's body in "If I Were You."
146* GreatBigBookOfEverything: The Great Book of Gummi contains the history, magic, culture and recipes of Gummi king, secured by a lock that can only be opened with one of their medallions. The Gummi Bears encounter Cavin, who just happens to possess one of those that his grandfather claims to have been given by a Gummi Bear.
147* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: The Glen Gummis play a big role in keeping Dunwyn safe, but no one can know of their exploits in order to keep their existence secret.
148* GuileHero: With the exception of Gregor, all of them. Igthorn has a mob of ogres on his side, so the good guys have to outsmart him more often than not.
149* HotWitch: Lady Bane.
150** Also Marzipan, [[spoiler: until you see her true form.]]
151* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: The ancient Gummis were forced into hiding because of greedy humans who wanted to take their magic and technology for themselves.
152* HurtFootHop: In "Someday My Prints Will Come", Tummi Gummi blames the machine that he found for causing all the trouble, then kicks it, causing him to hop around in pain while holding his foot.
153* IdiotBall: Gruffi in "Road to Ursalia" for leaving a lit candle on the Great Book of Gummi.
154* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Cubbi's reason for rescuing Igthorn in "For a Few Sovereigns More." Cubbi makes a promise to Igthorn to rescue him, and only someone as treacherous as Igthorn would go back on a promise.
155* ILied: Igthorn tries this on Flint Shrubwood, the bounty hunter, in "For a Few Sovereigns More". Big mistake.
156* InASingleBound: The universal effect of Gummiberry Juice on drinkers is the ability to make prodigious leaps and generally bounce around like they're made of rubber. This trait is more pronounced in Gummi Bears, allowing them to get around more quickly and dodge assailants, whilst humans get less jumping abilities, but can still leap pretty far with their SuperStrength.
157* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne!:
158-->'''Toadwart''': Toady in big trouble! Nauseating brother and stupid horse not done away with yet!
159-->'''Sir Victor''': Thou may callst me names... '''''[[BerserkButton but nobody calls my horse stupid!]]'''''
160* IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: In Season One, Gruffi was voiced by the late Bill Scott, who voiced Bullwinkle in ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle''. Grammi was voiced by June Foray who voiced Rocky in that same series.
161* IWasBeatenByAGirl: Calla, going undercover, defeats the squires in "Girl's Knight Out."
162* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Gruffi.
163* KarmaHoudini: Angelo Davini in "The Sinister Sculptor" really doesn't receive any punishment for heaven knows how long his cruelty to animals has been going on. He loses his magic dust (ensuring he can't continue doing it) and he's attacked by said animals while escaping after Gruffi and Grammi break the spell, but he ''does'' escape, and [[FridgeLogic when you think about it]] he probably got away with most of his ill-gotten gained money.
164** King Gregor did order for his arrest.
165** Flint Shrubwood also counts as he is last seen taking away all the money and leaving. Although considering he was simply doing his job (he ''is'' a bounty hunter, after all) and was simply [[OnlyInItForTheMoney taking what was owed to him]] after being double-crossed and letting his intended target go, it's more than subverted.
166* LadyOfBlackMagic: Lady Bane, a very powerful witch on the hunt for Gummi secrets and magic.
167* LargeHam: Igthorn. ''And'' his brother.
168* LastOfHisKind: The Gummi Glen Gummis believe they are the last remaining Gummis. As the series went on, they come across a handful of their species.
169** Most of the Gummi Bears set off in ships to find new land where they wouldn't be persecuted by humans. A small number remained in Gummi Glen, to watch and wait for the day it was safe for the other Gummis to return. Five hundred years later, there are ''six'' left. However, by the end of Season One it's made clear that there's a thriving Gummi society across the ocean.
170** On a slightly smaller scale, in Season Two the group come across another Gummi Bear called Chummi, who's ''really'' desperate to find other bears. The small bits he mentions about his past indicate he was from another warren that stayed behind but, like Gummi Glen, their numbers dwindled until there was only him.
171** Sir Thornberry seems to be the last of the guards left behind [[spoiler:at the ancient Gummi city of Ursalia]].
172** The "Day of the BeevilWeevils" two-parter features tree-like creatures, of whom only four (a "Great Oak" matriarch and three subordinates) appear. The Great Oak mentions "Our kind dwindled and dwindled, until we are all that are left".
173* LatexPerfection: Featured in "Never Give a Gummi an Even Break"; first Cubbi Gummi scares Grammi with an ogre mask as a prank, and then an elf named Carney disguises himself as a Gummi Bear as a sideshow exhibit wearing a [[ExpressiveMask particularly convincing rubber mask]] that manages to fool Grammi and take him in. But once she figures out the trick, she allows Carney to capture them for the sideshow, where an accident causes Grammi's mask to fall off and reveal a human woman underneath (that looks suspiciously like [[ActorAllusion her voice actress June Foray]]), but once the coast is clear and the Gummis are safe, Grammi [[MultiLayerFacade removes the old woman mask to reveal her true self]] once again.
174* LethalChef:
175** Grammi's cooking thanks to limited resources before having access to the Great Book of Gummi. Stinkweed Stew, anyone? (Tummi likes it, however.)
176** To Ightorn's dismay, Sunni's various attempts to make Gummi Berry Juice before she gets it right. It's literally explosive.
177** In the appropriately named episode "Too Many Cooks", Sunni, Tummi, and Cubbi fill the role after copying Sir Paunch's secret taffy recipe, probably the reason he kept it secret. (Trying to use a pressure cooker ultimately results in them covering the ''entire castle'' with the famous taffy.)
178** Grammi tends to invoke this whenever Igthorn forces her to make Gummiberry Juice for him by intentionally sabotaging the recipe. Unfortunately, Igthorn's taken a level in GenreSavvy by the GrandFinale and threatens to feed the tampered juice to Zummi and Tummi.
179* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Grammi and Gruffi argue about ''everything'' from chores to battle plans to raising the kids. Cubbi, at least, has learned to exploit this like a kid whose parents don't get along, tricking Grammi, for example, into letting him keep a wolf pup by telling her Gruffi said he couldn't. In "A Gummi's Work Is Never Done," a worried Tummi and Sunni watch them argue just like two kids watching their parents fight.
180-->'''Tummi:''' Uh-oh, they're at it again...
181* LostTechnology: By the wagonload. Even the Gummis don't know what half of it does.
182* LovePotion: One causes Tummi to fall for Lady Bane and Lady Bane to fall for Toadie.
183* LoyalPhlebotinum: The Great Book of Gummi has more security checkpoints than the Pentagon. It can only be unlocked by a Gummi medallion. If it's unlocked, you can only physically open it if you're a Gummi Bear or wearing a Gummi medallion. If it's opened, same applies to actually cast any of the spells. If you ''can'' cast the spells, you ''cannot'' use them to harm a Gummi Bear -- try, and the book will turn the attack back on you. Talk about CrazyPrepared...
184* MamaBear: Grammi. Literally.
185* MarilynManeuver: Princess Calla in "A Gummi By Any Other Name". When she and Sunni climb out of a tower's window, some wind lifts up the skirt of her peasant outfit and causes it to flow sideways, but it goes up no higher than calf-level.
186* MeaningfulName:
187** Sunni is the CheerfulChild and has yellow fur.
188** Cubbi the cute TagalongKid and the youngest in the group.
189** Tummi the BigEater
190** Grammi the ApronMatron
191** Gruffi is a grump
192** Gusto is HotBlooded and energetic.
193** Zummi is...um... is... [[OddNameOut we'll get back to you on that.]]
194*** It may have something to do with his {{spoonerism}} tendencies, or to emphasize his "wizard-like" nature given that a lot of sound effect depictions have the letter Z, like Zap or Kazaam.
195*** In the Russian dub he's renamed "Spellcaster," which still rhymes with the other Russified names the same way as it does in the original.
196** On the villains' side, Toadie is the SycophanticServant.
197* MedievalStasis: Would instantly have been dispelled if humanity at large could have gotten their hands on Gummi technology.
198* TheMiddleAges: A soft, light depiction.
199* MissingMom: Princess Calla's mom is never mentioned in the series.
200* MobileSuitHuman: In "A Hard Dazed Knight," Gruffi uses one (in the form of an armored knight) to infiltrate Duke Igthorn's castle.
201* {{Mordor}}: Drekmore is a foul and twisted land inhabited by ogres and filled with all manner of dangerous plants and animals. Carnivorous saber-toothed rabbits, giant eagles and sprawling fields of vines that sprout [[MadeOfExplodium touch-triggered bomb-melons]] are just some of the more notable examples, but nothing there can be trusted; [[EverythingTryingToKillYou even mushrooms rotate like buzzsaws to cut anything that touches them]]. At one point, Grammi, Cubbi and Gruffi are nearly crushed when a ''literal'' cliff face wakes up at their presence and then tries to drop a huge boulder on them for laughs. The dreariness is highlighted in "Gummi in a Strange Land", where Grammi notes that no flowers can be found anywhere inside of Drekmore.
202* TheMunchausen: Sir Tuxford and King Gregor are like this in one episode, teaming up to tell tall-tales about their past exploits. (Subverted, however, because they ''knew'' no one believed them.)
203* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Gruffi ends up destroying the Great Book by accident, prompting him to find a new one in an ancient Gummi city. When he only returns with a bookmark after a clash with Lady Bane, the bookmark restores the book with all of the knowledge intact.
204* TheNicknamer: Gusto has a handful of affectionate nicknames for nearly every member of the cast.
205* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: Invoked -- to protect it from falling into the wrong hands, the Gummiberry Juice formula is never written down but passed down orally each generation, and only one bear in each generation of each clan is trusted with the secret.
206* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Igthorn on occasion, particularly in the finale.
207* OddNameOut: See MeaningfulName above.
208* OhCrap: The Gummis get an epic collection of these as Toadwort guzzles down an ''entire keg'' of Gummiberry Juice singlehandedly, with Zummi warning there's no way of telling what might happen after someone drinks that much. [[spoiler:Fortunately for them, all that happens is steam bursts from his ears, and he takes off like a rocket.]]
209* OneNoteCook: The only thing that Grammi can prepare correctly is Gummiberry Juice.
210* OldMaster: Calla's father King Gregor appears to be in his sixties and soundly trounces Igthorn in the GrandFinale.
211* OlderSidekick: Tummi for Cubbi's "Crimson Avenger."
212* OneSizeFitsAll: Notably averted in "Toadie the Conquerer", when Igthorne tracks down the tomb of a legendary knight so he could claim his magic armor. The knight in question turns out to have been so short that the only person in his army capable of wearing the armor is Toadwart.
213* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Both the European and Chinese kind appear.
214* OurElvesAreDifferent: They might be multicolored bears, but the Gummi Bears with their lost greatness and secret ways very much resemble classic Tolkien Elves. Ursalia, their ancient capital even has striking similarities in both appearance and geography to the hidden elf city of Gondolin from ''Literature/TheSilmarillion.''
215* OurGiantsAreBigger: They appear on multiple occasions.
216* OurGryphonsAreDifferent: They're pink.
217* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Standard fantasy version appears in "Water Way to Go."
218* OurOgresAreHungrier: The Ogres of Drekmore look kind of like goblins, but are several times larger than a man and have at least some level of SuperStrength. They're also extremely stupid, though this does protect them from certain MindControl type spells.
219* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: Slightly more than normal for the trope, but Sunni, Tummi and Gusto.
220* ThePaladin: Sir Victor is a KnightInShiningArmor and can defeat ogres with ease. Serves well as the counterpart to his twin brother Duke Igthorn.
221%%* PapaWolf: Gruffi.
222* PhraseCatcher: The Ogres whenever they call Igthorn "Dukie" are always told, "Don't call me Dukie!" (Usually they answer, "Okay, Dukie!") Toadwart is the only ogre to comply with this order.
223* PhlebotinumOverdose: Gorging on too much Gummiberry juice can lead to overdoses, which generally causes beings to flare up from the excessive energy, bounce about uncontrollably and then rocket far away to points unknown.
224* PimpedOutDress: Calla occasionally wears more formal dresses, some of which sport very similar design cues from Snow White's iconic outfit.
225* PlotArmor: In "Light Makes Right" Igthorn blasts a tower with the Gummi Scope, which Cavin and Calla are inside. The tower collapses and both kids survive.
226* PlotHole: The first time the Carpies encounter the Gummis is when they kidnap Sunni to be the King Carpie's "songbird." He's rather obsessed with having a singer. The next time the King encounters Sunni, he doesn't recognize her at all.
227* PowerUpFood: Gummiberry juice. For Gummis, it makes them [[InASingleBound preternaturally bouncy and agile]]. For humans, it gives them a few minutes of SuperStrength, but only works once a day. Ogres gets super strength too, but unlike humans, it lasts longer and can be renewed by drinking more juice. Other creatures are affected differently when drinking the juice. The berries must be mixed in a ''very specific'' way to create an effective juice and, fortunately, only the Gummis know the secret.
228* PrecociousCrush: Sunni has one for Gusto, who is either [[ObliviousToLove oblivious]] or politely uninterested.
229* {{Precursors}}: The Great Gummis, who inhabited the Glen long ago but left when it proved unsafe. The Gummi Glen bears often hope for their return.
230* PrincessesPreferPink: Calla and Marie both wear pink dresses.
231* PuppyLove: It's clear Cavin and Calla have a mutual crush on each other.
232* RagnarokProofing: Averted in that many of the Great Gummi artifacts found often have to be refueled, reconditioned or otherwise have just decayed to uselessness. Played a little bit straight in that much (though not all) of this tech is made of wood - like the paddlewheel that brings them water - that really should have rotted out regardless of repairs in the intervening hundreds of years. The aforementioned paddlewheel is something the dialogue reveals that they've never seen before, so it should in ''much'' worse shape.
233* RankScalesWithAsskicking: From his duel with Igthorn in the last episode it's clear Gregor is no frail old ruler and probably stronger than a lot of his knights. If only being the king didn't keep him out of most opportunities for action.
234* ReasonableAuthorityFigure:
235** King Gregor. This extends into his personal life when he eventually discovers, and quickly learns to be pleased, at how powerful a warrior his daughter has become.
236** King Jean-Claude proves to be this in his first appearance after finding out Princess Marie lied about Calla starting the fight. He immediately ceases his attack, profusely apologizes to both Gregor and Calla about all this, and promises to give Marie a punishment she'll never forget.
237%%* RebelliousPrincess: Princess Calla to a T.
238* RedOniBlueOni: Gruffi, the no-nonsense conservative, is often at odds with Grammi, who is far more [[CoolOldLady progressive]], and Gusto, who is [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} out to lunch]].
239* RememberedTooLate: Zummi does this with the fact that Gummi berry juice only works on humans once a day.
240* TheRival: Princess Marie to Princess Calla.
241* RopeBridge:
242** Seen in "Zummi Makes it Hot," when the heroes eventually set it on fire to evade pursuit.
243** Also shows up in "A Bridge On the River Gummi" when Gruffi attempts to build a much nicer bridge over the former RopeBridge after it collapses.
244* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Princess Calla and King Gregor count for this in spades.
245** Calla has saved her kingdom and her castle several times.
246** In the grand finale of the series, it is Gregor who [[spoiler: actually kicks Igthorn's butt]].
247* SadisticChoice: How Igthorn [[spoiler:finally acquires Gummiberry Juice. He warns Grammi to start cooking or he'll cook the Great Book of Gummi. She tries sabotaging the recipe like she did before, but Igthorn anticipates this and threatens to make Tummi and Zummi drink the entire pot of tampered juice unless he gets what he wants.]]
248* ScoobyDoobyDoors
249* SeaSinkhole: In the episode ''My Gummi Lies Over the Ocean'', bears Gruffi and Tummi are stranded on an [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/7c/54/b4/7c54b4898898824ae8ae11d96b3f0a6a.jpg island in the middle of a hole in the ocean, surrounded by falling water]]. The water is filling up the hole, threatening to sink the island.
250* SealedEvilInACan: A couple of different monsters that were locked away by the Ancient Gummis become the source for plots throughout the series. The EvilSorcerer Zorlock in "For Whom The Spell Holds" is a particularly good example; he's trapped by magic in an ancient fortress, which is buried deep underground and suspended over a lake of lava, with a huge Gummi statue warning others to never cross the only bridge.
251* SecretKeeper: The few humans who discover the Gummis existence are encouraged to invoke this to protect them and their knowledge, especially involving Gummiberry Juice. Cavin is the first to become this, followed by Calla.
252** Cavin's grandfather, Sir Gowan (from whom Cavin received the Gummi medallion) becomes one as well. Though, he was initially TheCassandra who talks about his past adventures with other Gummis, but no one believes him (though they greatly enjoy the stories).
253* SeesawCatapult: One episode has Igthorn trying to get into the King's castle before a potion which put everyone inside to sleep. His final attempt is to use one of these... so the heroes drop the drawbridge upon it. Igthorn flies over the castle, and his Mooks run after him.
254* SheCleansUpNicely: Calla proves this on several occasions.
255* SheIsAllGrownUp: Happens to Sunni in the space of one episode, due to a RapidAging {{Phlebotinum}}. Unfortunately, the aging doesn't ''stop'' at "filled out"...
256* ShooOutTheClowns: In "For Whom The Spell Holds" (arguably one of the darkest episodes of the series), a cave in separates the three kids from the three adults, forcing the former to stay behind while the latter go on to face the EvilSorcerer Zorlock alone.
257* ShorterMeansSmarter: The Gummis are both considerably smaller and considerably smarter than most of their opponents (though not their human friends and allies).
258** Toadwart, who is extremely short for an ogre, also happens to be the smartest of them. Mind you, that isn't saying much. However, his cousin Tadpole is a head shorter than Toadwart himself and he is actually very intelligent and well-spoken.
259* ShoutOut: The show has a ''lot'' of references to other Disney works.
260** You can see a Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck statue on one of the {{sculptor|s}}'s shelves in "The Sinister Sculptor."
261** Princess Calla wears a dress very similar to Snow White's.
262** In "Queen Of The Carpies" the Carpie King says "you bet your [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 bear necessities]]."
263** In "Sweet and Sour Gruffi", Grammi sarcastically calls Gruffi [[WesternAnimation/RockyandBullwinkle "Mr. Know-it-All"]] and later on exclaims [[CatchPhrase "Hokey Smoke!"]]. Since this is one of the episodes where Bill Scott voices Gruffi, this doubles as a CastingGag.
264** In "Good Neighbor Gummi", a dimwitted thief says "Hey Rocky, [[WesternAnimation/SylvesterTheCatAndTweetyBird I taw I taw]] a Gummi Bear". Rocky is also the name of a gangster in WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes.
265** Anytime Tummi talks about being hungry. Helps that he's voiced by Creator/LorenzoMusic--better known as the voice of WesternAnimation/{{Garfield|AndFriends}}.
266** One of the Carpies bares some resemblance to [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Beaky Buzzard]].
267** Toady refers to the knight Sir Victor as a "[[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail kanigget]]" .
268** In "Light Makes Right", when Cavin flips through a book of Gummi stories, the shot pauses on a page that mentions "Two of Gummi's famous [[Creator/DisneysNineOldMen Nine Old Bears, Frank and Ollie]]".
269** The episode "For A Few Sovereigns More" and it's villain, Flint Shrubwood, is an obvious shout-out to ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore'' and Creator/ClintEastwood; in the climax of the episode, Shrubwood aims his weapon and taunts Igthorn, "[[GiveMeaReason Go ahead, take my pay.]]"
270** King Gregor is voiced to sound like Creator/RonaldColman, an actor of UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood famous for his role in adventure movies like ''Film/ThePrisonerOfZenda''.
271* SiblingYinYang: Sir Victor fights for good while his brother Duke Igthorn fights for evil.
272* SlaveToPR: [[ThePaladin Sir Victor]] agrees to let Igthorn's ogres into Castle Dunwyn, just because he can't bear to have his KnightInShiningArmor reputation ruined by Igthorn revealing their family connection.
273* SmoochOfVictory: Cavin gets one from [[ShipTease Calla]] at the end of "Ogre For A Day."
274* SmurfettePrinciple: Averted with Grammi and Sunni as well as Princess Calla being prominent characters with plenty of spotlight episodes. Ursa of the Barbics is added later, but she is also the only female Barbic shown.
275* SpiderPeople: The Spinster in "Thornberry To The Rescue".
276* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'' (the Disney film, not the book).
277* SpoiledBrat: Princess Marie.
278* {{Spoonerism}}: Zummi regularly rakes these. Bit of a problem when he needs to use magic with {{Exact Word|s}}ing.
279* SugarBowl: Actually somewhat less than you'd think for a show ''named'' after a candy.
280* SuperHeroEpisode: Cubbi's stories as the [[ColorCharacter Crimson Avenger.]]
281* SuperSerum: Gummiberry Juice, which augments drinkers in various ways depending on race, and is also good as motor fuel for Gummi machines.
282* SuperSpeed: Tummi tricks Zummi into casting a spell on him to make him super speedy in an episode. Unfortunately for him, he soon loses control of its power and can't go any slower than the speed of sound.
283* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Gruffi and Cubbi are able to access Ursalia's library, only to discover that the books are so old, they crumble to dust with just a touch.
284* SwanBoats: Our gummi bears had a roller coaster-like transportation system with cars that normally were shaped like birds of prey. However, when they journey to a lost city, the cars there are shaped like swans.
285* TakenForGranite: Angelo Davini in "The Sinister Sculptor" poses as a sculptor selling his art, but actually has no talent whatsoever, using magic dust that he ''stole'' from a wizard to turn forest animals (and the Gummis) to stone.
286** In another episode, Gruffi believes this happened to Zummi - but it was really just a statue that Gusto carved.
287* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Cavin and Thornberry when searching for the Spinster. Thornberry's not much for trusting humans, but this is more true on Calvin's end, due to Thornberry's quirks and scatterbrained antics.
288* TickleTorture: Igthorn does it to Grammi in one episode.
289* TitleDrop: At the very end of "King Igthorn, Part I":
290-->'''Calla:''' Duke Igthorn!\
291'''Igthorn:''' Wrong! It's King Igthorn now!
292* TitleThemeTune: Although it's a milder example than subsequent Disney animated shows.
293* TokenHuman: Cavin and Calla.
294* TokenRomance: Sunni's crush on Gusto only comes up twice.
295* TooSmartForStrangers: Subverted in the episode, "Folly Day," considering Sunni refuses candy offered by an apparent stranger, but that person is revealed to be Duke Igthorn, a known enemy who is definitely not a stranger to her.
296* TookALevelInBadass:
297** Cubbi when he becomes the Crimson Avenger.
298** Anyone who drinks Gummiberry juice.
299** Toadie managed to take over Dunwyn by himself, using magic armor, until the Gummis trick him into taking it off.
300* TooDumbToLive:
301** Sir Thornberry on the Gummi Bears' side, usually.
302** Gusto, sometimes.
303** All the ogres, except Toadie.
304** Actually, Toadie too, sometimes, like the time he stole a whole keg of Gummiberry Juice and then drank the ''whole keg'' at once, with rather ''explosive'' results.
305* {{Transflormation}}: In one episode, Tummi steals fruit from a cursed tree, and his punishment is to turn into a tree himself.
306* UnwantedAssistance: A blind woman to Toadie and two ogres; she does it on purpose.
307* VanishingVillage: Castle Gummadoon. Gummadoon's wizards cast a spell over the whole castle to stop humans from capturing it and taking Gummi technology for themselves. To everyone outside, it's vanished and only reappears for one day every hundred years; to everyone inside, one night has passed. Presumably they'll lift the spell when they think humans have changed.
308* VileVillainLaughableLackey: Toady is a SycophanticServant and regularly suffers abuse from Duke Igthorn, who despite being a laughable villain himself, is nevertheless ambitious and WouldHurtAChild.
309* VillainDecay:
310** ''Ogre'' decay. Early on in the series, with one exception, the ogres were regularly portrayed as capable of feats of extraordinary strength. Later on though, they needed Gummiberry juice to do anything beyond the limits of a human. And the weird side effects that the juice initially had on ogres was apparently forgotten.
311** Lady Bane was malevolent and competent in her initial appearance, but later episodes featuring her have her fail just as badly as Igthorn due to {{Flanderization}} of her vanity issues.
312* WaterfallIntoTheAbyss: The island where Gruffi and Tummi got stranded and found Gusto was in the middle of a hole in the ocean; this made escaping difficult as they not only needed to repair their boat, they needed a way to get the boat across the gap and over the waterfall.
313* WaveMotionGun:
314** The Gummiscope. Although its real purpose is as a giant solar powered messaging machine, it can be used as as a massive energy cannon if there is enough solar energy to power it.
315** By contrast, the Great Horn of Ursalia is definitely a WeaponOfMassDestruction.
316* WellIntentionedExtremist: While the Barbics' hatred and distrust of humanity is far from unjustified, their desire to destroy all of it puts them at odds with the Glen Gummis in "Return to Ursalia."
317* WhamEpisode: The final two parter; [[spoiler:Igthorn leaves the kingdom and after a ''year'' of nothing happening, Zummi sends a message to the Great Gummis, announcing that the kingdom is finally safe and ready for their return. Then Igthorn suddenly returns, more terrible than ever, and quickly succeeds at completely destroying Gummi Glen, capturing the Gummis and stealing the secret of the Gummi Berry Juice from them, and immediately leading his army of super powerful ogres against Dunwyn castle, demolishing its defenses and crowning himself as the new king. All of this is just ''one'' episode. Sure, everything turns out all right in the end, but still.]]
318%%* WhenTreesAttack
319* WhiteSheep: [[ThePaladin Sir Victor]] has spent his entire life trying to atone for the Igthorn family's treachery, implying that his brother Duke Sigmund Igthorn was a fairly typical scion of the family. Based on the age at which he started doing this, Victor was something of a prodigy:
320-->'''Duke Igthorn''': Same as when you were a kid, going around protecting the oppressed and saving the downtrodden. What kind of hobby is that for a six-year-old?
321* WholeCostumeReference: In one episode, Calla wears a dress identical to Snow White's iconic dress.
322* WholePlotReference: "[[Film/TheBridgeOnTheRiverKwai Bridge On the River Gummi]]"
323* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Zummi is deathly afraid of heights.
324* YouDontWantToCatchThis: Gummioleosis, when Cubbi and Gusto are captured by the ogres.
325* YourSizeMayVary: The Disney+ page for the show has an art piece that shows Sunni being much taller than Grammi and Gruffi.
