The Gummies

The seven gummies who live in Gummi Glen are:

• Gruffi, voiced by Bill Scott (Season 1) and Corey Burton, - the no-nonsense and conservative every-job-gummi
• Zummi, voiced by Paul Winchell (Seasons 1 - 3) and Jim Cummings, - The colony's "keeper of Gummi wisdom" turned magician with unreliable skill.
• Grammi, voiced by June Foray, - matriarch of the Gummi clan, she cooks and cleans and prepares the gummiberry juice.
• Tummi, voiced by Lorenzo Music, - the gluttonous teenager gummi who is seemingly unintelligent, but is as courageous as the rest
• Sunni, voiced by Katie Leigh, - "token adolescent" of the bunch who often rebels against the clan but learns her lessons eventually.
• Cubbi, voiced by Noelle North, - the youngest gummi, an aspiring knight, he is always looking for adventure, and often finds it.
• Gusto, voiced by Rob Paulsen, - (introduced in season 2) the artistic gummi and an individualist, he lives away from Gummi Glen with his friend toucan, Arte Deco. Gusto is an artist who is very creative. He sometimes goes to Gummi Glen to visit the rest of the Gummis. Being a latter addition, he appears less often on the show although he is a fan favourite.

Animation History Significance

The Adventures of the Gummi Bears is actually somewhat of a first of its kind. It was Disney's first foray into Television Animation, and at the time of its first premier very few, if any cartoons were on par with Gummi Bears' production values. The quality of Gummi Bears' production values was unheard of for a show produced in the Western Hemisphere. It even exceeded the quality of much Japanese Animation made for TV at the time. Gummi Bears is often credited by Animators and Animation Historians as having helped jump start the massive boom of Animation of TV in the late 80's all through the 90's. It also became the forerunner for Disney's famous Disney Afternoon timeslot, which gave way to classics such as Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, TaleSpin, and the legendary Gargoyles. Although shows created in its wake such as the mentioned exceeded Gummi Bear's budget and length, it is often credited as the sort of prototype to all of the subsequent animation which followed it, while Duck Tales really jump started the trend. Nevertheless, it was a gamble which paid off tremendously in the long run. A cartoon is any of several forms of art, with varied meanings that evolved from one to another. ...
