About Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears Photos

Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears (also known as Disney's Gummi Bears) is an American animated television series that first aired in the United States from 1985 to 1991.[1] The series was the first animated production by Walt Disney Television and loosely inspired by the gummy bear candies; Disney CEO Michael Eisner was struck with inspiration for the show when his son requested the candies one day.[2] The series premiered on NBC on September 14, 1985 and aired there for four seasons. The series moved to ABC for one season from 1989 to 1990 (airing alongside The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh as the Gummi Bears-Winnie the Pooh Hour) and concluded on September 6, 1991 as part of the Disney Afternoon television syndication package.[3] Of the series' 65 shows, 30 consisted of two 11-minute cartoons, thereby bringing the series total to 95 distinct episodes overall. The show is well-remembered for its theme music, written by Michael and Patty Silversher, and for the "gummiberry juice", a type of magic potion granting the bears the ability to bounce away from their foes.[4][5] The theme song was performed by Joseph Williams.[6] The series was later rebroadcast on the syndicated Disney Afternoon block and rerun on the Disney Afternoon through the summer of 1991. In later years, it was shown on The Disney Channel (from October 7, 1991)[7] to at least January 1997[8] and later on Toon Disney, with its most recent televised airing occurring on December 28, 2001. Seasons 1 to 3 of the series were released on DVD on November 14, 2006.[9] On November 12, 2019, the series was released on Disney+.
