Significance
Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears was Disney's first major serialized animated television series (information technology was aired back to back with some other show, The Wuzzles, which lasted only 13 episodes), and is ofttimes credited by animators and blitheness historians as having helped jump start the television animation boom of the mid-1980s and 1990s. This was partially because unlike competitors similar Hanna-Barbera and Filmation, Disney equally a multi-media conglomerate could drawn upon its considerable fiscal resources for a lavish product budget for boob tube for this series, gambling that they could profit in syndication.
Consequently, it besides became the forerunner to Disney's famous Disney Afternoon timeslot, which gave way to other famous serialized Disney television series, such as DuckTales, Scrap 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, Bonkers and Gargoyles. Although many of these subsequently-created shows exceeded Gummi Bears in upkeep and length, it is oftentimes credited as the sort of image to all of the subsequent blitheness which followed it, with DuckTales actually jumpstarting the trend with competitors forced to either raise their artistic standards to compete like Hanna-Barbera or inspire new competitors of equivalent corporate size to enter the field with similar financial commitments such as Warner Bros.
Additionally, while not having the largest number of total episodes, Gummi Bears has the biggest number of seasons of whatever Disney animated series. Whereas other shows simply produced large numbers of episodes for each of their seasons (DuckTales, for instance, had 100 episodes over three years), Gummi Bears is unique in that it was actually annually renewed for new episodes over six consecutive years, a feat which few other children's blithe series tin boast even today.
The show was then successful in the Britain that the episodes "A New Offset" and "Faster Than a Speeding Tummi" were released as theatrical featurettes there in 1986 and 1987. Other appearances of Gummi Bears in other media included ane appearance of Gruffi Gummi starring in a D-TV music video of the Elvis Presley song "Teddy Bear" in 1986.
The show'south popularity also led to a re-theming of Disneyland's Motor Boat Cruise, along with a small part of Disneyland that became known as "Disney Afternoon Avenue." The Motor Boat Cruise became the "Motor Gunkhole Cruise to Gummi Glen" and plywood characters from the evidence made Gummiberry Juice along the waterway. The Gummi Bears, and on occasion human being characters such as Duke Igthorn, Princess Calla, or King Gregor, have also been featured every bit meetable characters who greet guests in Disney theme parks. Still, all of the characters from the show have not made any appearances for many years and are at present retired.
A comic strip based on the TV prove (featuring but the Gummi Bears themselves) was produced from 1986-1989. The Lord's day strips would take a fun fact and activity forth with the actual Sunday strip. Some of the comics would be rereleased in 2021, equally part of the book Darkwing Duck: Just Us Justice Ducks: Disney Afternoon Adventures Vol. ane.
Production
The initial championship card used for the outset season, and irregularly from and so on.
The first iv seasons of the testify (39 episodes) were blithe by the prestigious Japanese animation studio TMS Entertainment. Animation duties for the fifth season (8.5 episodes) were passed on to Walt Disney Animation Nippon, Inc.; a move that went relatively unnoticed, stylistically, equally the studio itself was spun off from TMS Amusement.
Blitheness production for the sixth and final season was distributed amidst several different studios, which resulted in noticeable style changes. While Walt Disney Animation Japan, Inc. is nonetheless credited responsible for the product of near half the season, those episodes were mainly animated by the South Korean studios Taesang Ind. Co., Ltd (8 episodes), and Hanho Heung-Up Co., Ltd ("Toadie the Conqueror", shared production with Taesang Ind. Co., Ltd), Brazil'due south Guimaraes Productions (the one-half-episode segment "Friar Stomach"), and China's Jade Animation Productions Limited (the series finale "Rex Igthorn, Office II"). The episode "Thornberry to the Rescue" is credited to Walt Disney Animation Japan, Inc., but differs in fashion as well, likely due to the uncredited studio Big Star being involved. The remaining 8 episodes of the sixth flavour were animated by the studio Walt Disney Television Blitheness Australia.
