1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Good God, the main theme with lead vocals by Joseph Williams of Music/{{Toto}}. It has no right to be as boundlessly energetic as it is. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYZH7B498gE Listen for yourself]].
2* BaseBreakingCharacter:
3** Gruffi, given how hard he is on the younger Gummis.
4** Any human in Dunwyn who isn't Cavin is this, given the high standards of knighthood, as well as their authority. Calla on the other hand is also a WellExcuseMePrincess in addition to this trope.
5* EnsembleDarkhorse:
6** Ursa, the LadyOfWar leader of the [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Proud Warrior Race]] the Barbic Gummis, judging by how many fanfics feature her as a character despite her appearing in only 4 episodes, none of which have been released on DVD.
7** The Knights of Gummadoon, specifically Sir Plucki, Sir Gumlittle and Sir Blastus, only show up in one episode and yet appear in tons of fanfiction and fan art. Quite a bit of fanfiction finds ways to bring them back into the main cast.
8** Chummi Gummi, who shows up once in "Up, Up and Away" is a fan favorite.
9* GenreTurningPoint: This series, with its superb writing and lavish production values, changed the game for western television animation, helping to usher in UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation, with Disney's competitors forced to similarly raise their own standards to compete.
10* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Czechs ''love'', nay, absolutely ''adore'' Disney's ''Adventures of the Gummi Bears'', and they have taken their dedication to amazing levels.
11* OnceOriginalNowCommon: As mentioned above, when the show first premiered in 1985, its animation and writing were praised for being higher in quality than most other shows that existed at the time. But because many other shows with better animation and serialization have since been released over the years, modern viewers likely won't be able to see why this show was so revolutionary in terms of animation and storytelling.
12* PopularWithFurries: Due to being one of several shows of Disney Afternoon focused on its non-human cast, it has its furry fans.
13* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Sir Gawain: former knight, outspoken believer in the Gummi Bears, found the Gummi Medallion that started the events of the show and Cavin's only known relative. When he gets to meet the Glen Gummis and learns that Gummi Bears do exist, he doesn't appear again.
14* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: Throughout the series, it is shown that the bears of Gummi Glen are remnants of a VestigialEmpire in a medieval setting, reminiscent of the real-life Roman Empire and the small groups of monks and intellectuals who kept its ancient knowledge alive after the fall of the western portion. As for Igthorn, with his conflict against a feudal king and the Gummi Bears' usage of ancient technology and knowledge, he can be seen as a Machiavellian upstart.
15* TheWoobie: Tummi is often this if an episode centers around him.
