Gummi Bear

Gummi Bears are a type of German bear-shaped candy that is semi-translucent, colored, with a rubbery texture. Brands include Haribo[?] and Trolli[?], though there are many others. They were sufficiently popular to be made into a Disney cartoon in the 1980s with 65 episodes.

Cartoon The pretext of the cartoon was that "The Gummies" were a noble humanoid bear. However, they possessed a secret juice made of gummiberries giving them both strength and the ability to bounce. The series is set in medieval times in the once populous Gummi Glen; the main Gummies' neighborhood is inhabited only by seven gummies. The world has other gummies. Great Gummies are refugees elsewhere awaiting a signal to return. Other gummies live in Ursalia. Allies of the gummies are the people of Darwin (King Gregor, Princess Cala, Cavin). Their nemesis is Duke Igthorn, who aims, with the aid of ogres to rule Darwin.

The Gummies

The seven gummies who live in Gummi Glen are:

• Gruffi[?] - the every-job-gummi
• Zummi[?] - the wise magic user gummi
• Grammi[?] - the "mother" gummi
• Tummi[?] - the always hungry gummi
• Sunni[?] - the ambitious gummi
• Cubbi[?] - the young gummi
• Gusto[?] - the artistic gummi
