Adventures of the Gummi Bears, Vol. 1 - Seasons 1-3 (1985) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears finally gets its well-deserved DVD treatment. I think that Gummi Bears was the first of Disney's syndicated animated shows in the 80s, and paved the way for later classics like Duck Tales and Tale Spin.
I came across recordings of these shows a short while ago and watched a lot of them. Even though the show is nearly twenty years old, I was struck by the quality of the animation and the voice work, which included veteran voice actors like June Foray (of Rocky the Flying Squirrel fame) and Paul Winchell (best known by people my age and younger for his work as Tigger).
The rich fantasy setting of this show and the detail put into the Gummi Bears and the remnants of their old society are impressive. I think most impressive was that the fact that this show was not made to market action figures, like so many other shows of the 80s. All of the Gummi Bears are distinctive and each has their own appeal, and the other heroes and villains are likewise well-developed and fun to watch, whether it's Cavan and Princess Calla or the villain Duke Igthorn.
There is a lot of humor and heart, enough to please adults as well as children, which is always the mark of a great program. I actually still remembered one episode from nearly twenty years ago, "For A Few Sovereigns More", which surprisingly had a great reference to Clint Eastwood that made me laugh harder as an adult than I did when I was a kid.
Overall, this is a great series that is possibly even better now than when it was first released, and one that is definitely worthy of owning.
