WMG / Adventures of the Gummi Bears

Go To

Duke Igthorn is Skeletor
His clothes are the same as Skeletor and both shows take place in a medieval setting. He is Skeletor with skin and this show is a prequel to He-Man.

The original premise of the show was The Black Cauldron The Series.

  • Cavin is Taran, the would-be Kid Hero with a lot to learn. Calla is Eilonwy, the Tomboy Princess with latent magical talent, and Cubby is Gurgi, the annoying little loudmouth who usually messes things up for the protagonists, but who eventually saves the day by accident. Unfortunately for Disney, the film came out half-baked and was a Box Office Bomb. But with significant pre-production work already done, they were reluctant to throw everything in the garbage. Then Michael Eisner saw his kid eating this candy, and the rest is history...

Post-series, Cavin and Calla end up marrying and leading Dunwyn, and eventually the world, into a Golden Age through their status as Gummi Friends.
Given the technology Gummis are shown to have access to, not to mention their magic and in cases like the Barbics and the knights of Gummadoon, fighting prowess, it's not a stretch to imagine that Dunwyn would see leaps and bounds in many areas of their society that would make it a world power in short order. Not to mention Cavin is one of the only, if not the only, human who would be able to claim universal trust among Gummis given that the Glen Gummis have all but adopted him and the Gummadoon Gummis and Barbics all believe he's a credit to the human species.

The Gummi Bears are related.
They just don’t say it maybe for cultural reasons. Gruffi and Grammi are the parents, Zummi is the grandparent, Tummi is the older son, Sunni the teen daughter, Cubby the younger kid and Gusto the gay cousin.
  • Alternatively Zummi and Grammi are the grandparents, and Gruffi's pair is dead.
  • Or Zummi and Grammi are the parents (they mention their childhood together in "Little Bears Lost"). Tummi, Sunni and Cubby are siblings. Gruffi is more distantly related. But it isn't the "gummi way" to stand on family when a member or members of the community might be left out! For example, the Gummadoon Gummis were seen in nuclear family groups where this wasn't an issue. Gusto is a non-relative, he's explicitly said in "My Gummi Lies Over the Ocean" to be the last of his particular group of gummis. Gruffi and Gusto can't be closely related to Sunni as they are each seem romantically interested in her in "Rocking Chair Bear" when she ages to an adult (but before she become an old lady bear).
  • Or their concept of "family" is more like that of gargoyles instead of humans — they don't keep track of blood relations because it doesn't matter.

Lady Bane was at one point married to or involved with Zorlock of "For Whom The Spell Holds".
  • Zorlock and Lady Bane each have Gummi medallions. They are each interested in getting Gummi magic for themselves. Lady Bane and Zorlock are centuries old.

Winnie the Pooh is a Gummi Bear
He doesn't bounce much though, because he's a little too fond of honey...and Gummi juice isn't nearly as sweet.

The Paw Paw Bears and the Gummi Bears are kin
The Paw Paws's ancestors were Gummi Bears who settled in Pre-Columbian America as opposed to Medieval Europe.

Gummi Bears, The Black Cauldron, Amphibia, and The Owl House all take place on the same planet and universe.
What do all these shows and movie have in common with each other? They all take place in a medieval like setting, humans going on adventures with talking creatures, all the shows and movie above have themes of magic and mystery, and the villains wanna take over something.
  • Gravity Falls as well.

Gummi Bears is an isekai series.

The gummiberry juice is the magic potion in Asterix

The recipe was initially only given from druid to druid word of mouth, but Getafix (or a druid that went later) met little inoffensive talking bears and thought only them can be trusted with the recipe. The gummis later grown special magic berries to replace the sometimes difficult to find ingredients (ie petroleum), but the side effects were that it only had effect on humans once a day and make animals bounce instead.
