Is that the whole series?

That question is fore people who own the dvd set. I mean watching it with my niece, the episodes that I saw are about the only ones I really remember. Anyway if that's not it, I hope it doesn't take another 6 years for them to release the rest on dvd. I mean Gummi Bears is really the best show disney ever had. Next to Ducktales that is. Everything else just isn't as original. Gummi Bears deserves to be recognized as much as the actual disney movies. I mean stories like Alladin, Beauty and the Beast and the Little Mermaid were already around long before Dinsey ever made them movies. Gummi Bears is actually original and is a well done idea by Disney.

No. There are still 3 seasons worth of episodes to be released.
Season 4-8 episodes
Season 5-10 episodes
Season 6-18 episodes

Let's hope they release them all in one big box set next year. And yes, Gummi Bears is a true Disney masterpiece. A single ep of the G-Bears foiling Duke Igthorn's latest evil scheme is better than all the Disney stuff made before 1985 COMBINED.

They made so many unoriginal shows based on their movies that I'm surprised they didn't make a Hunchback of Notre Dame cartoon series. Plus enough of their sequels. Just make a Gummi Bear movie already! We don't need a Jungle Book 3.

A friend I talked to today claimed that the show only had 3 seasons and just kept rerunning the same seasons until 1991. Is that true ? Because the episodes that were on dvd are the only ones I remember. Or does the king eventually learn of the Gummi Bears as well ?

No, your friend really didn't pay attention! There are lots more episodes than are on the dvd, as the previous poster said. But the later ones (season 5 and 6) just weren't as good, in my opinion. And yes they were still better than most other shows, just not as brilliant as early Gummi Bears!

If you look at the episode guides online you can show your friend just how many episodes there were! Though the imdb has the watching order totally wrong in some places. King Igthorn is the finale; I hate it when an obvious fact like that gets messed up. They do it for lots of shows.

But does King Gregor know of the Gummi Bears by the time of the finale. I mean if so I think I remember him knowing about them eventually. I mean the episode that I always remembered the most is when they make taffy in season 3. Everything didn't stick in my brain that well lol.

Yeah it's weird how one episode can stick in your head. For me it seems that most people remember the Gargoyle episode the best! (I can't say for myself bcause I taped them off tv the first time they aired, so I watched them hundreds of times).

As for King Gregor finding out about the Gummis, I don't think he does. As I said before, I didn't like that last season and probably only watched it two or three times, and definitely not in the last ten years or so. But I really don't remember that happening.

They should bring it back but they'd probably make it 3-D if they did. Nothing is as good as it used to be. Like Ducktales wouldn't be as good if they made it now as well. They'd probably dress the nephews up like gangsters lol.

it's funny, when I was watching the dvd and noticed that Cavin's voice didn't change at all(lol not Cavin personally but the voice over artist) during the entire boxset, I knew there had to be more seasons because I remember watching the other episodes, the later ones, more I beleive. That was when that kid from jump, rattle, and roll was the voice of cavin.

About the end, does anyone who watched 'King Igthorn' remember if he found out about the Gummi Bears or not?

[–] atomicseasoning 17 years ago

Actually I think you might be right. Well then if that's the case R. J. Williams needs to be added to the cast list of the various guys that voiced "Cavin", as well as whoever was the voice of "Calla"?

Anyway, yeah the Gummi Bears was a great Disney TV series that was mostly original, although imho I think they borrowed some aspects from their 1984/85 movie 'The Black Cauldron' (which isn't bad since that was a Disney film) AND some of the character ideas for the bears from Peyo's cartoon TV series the "Smurfs'! (Think about it, the bears even had hats that were similar shaped to the Smurfs' hats, plus both were set in the Middle Ages, both had a few human friends & enemies, magic, etc.)
