Product Description Dashing and daring courageous and caring faithful and friendly with stories to share theyre the gummi bears! join the worlds sweetest heroes for high adventure in a mystical land of giants and wizards ogres and dragons and wondrous creatures both good and evil. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 11/14/2006
Amazon.com A sort of Care Bears for the rough and tumble set, the Adventures of the Gummi Bears is an animated Disney adventure series about a group of cute, brave Gummi Bears who are committed to helping the good and fighting the wicked. In "A New Beginning," most humans assume that the Gummi Bears are mythical creatures dreamed up by past generations, but human page Cavin believes in their existence. When Cavin unwittingly stumbles upon the Gummi Bears' home while trying to escape from the ogres who populate the forest, the Gummi Bear medallion he inherited from his Grandfather unlocks the Great Book of Gummi and the secrets of the Gummis' lost magical powers. The Gummi Bears decide to share their magical gummiberry juice with Cavin and together they successfully repel the ogres. Thus begins an enduring friendship in which Cavin, the Gummi Bears, and, in later episodes, Princess Calla, join forces against evils that include ogres, dragons, wizards, and Duke Ighthorn, a loathsome villain who conspires with the ogres and is constantly scheming to seize Dunwyn Castle and become the new King. Much like the seven dwarves from Snow White, each Gummi Bear has a distinct personality: there's the grumpy Gruffi, ever-hungry Tummi, bubbly Sunni, wise Zummi, crotchety Grammi, and youngest Cubbi Bear. Like many families comprised of opposing personalities, the Gummis' home life is tumultuous and often full of bickering, but the group can always be counted upon to work together to defeat whatever enemy threatens them, their friends, or the castle. Themes explored include teamwork, pride, greed, one-upmanship, prejudice, bossiness, and many more. This three-disc compilation includes the Adventures of the Gummi Bears first three seasons (1985-1987)--that's 47 episodes and 640-minutes of high adventure. (Ages 3 to 9) --Tami Horiuchi

Disks Missing! March 2, 2010 Kirsta M. Haupt 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this product and when I opened the package I discovered that the first disk was missing. If you are selling something, make sure you do it with out forgetting on of the items....
Memories shared February 12, 2010 JY (Indy, IN) I am 32 with 2 kids. I was very pleased that not only did my kids enjoy it, it also brought back memories of my childhood. Recommend it to anyone who enjoyed as a kid and has some of their own now. No problems with purchase and it actually arrived early. Hope the next seasons come out soon.
Bad Vendor January 13, 2010 Suchita Rastogi I have made a similar review for TaleSpin, Volume 1, which I had ordered along with Adventures of the Gummi Bears, Volume 1, under the same order number. The long and short of it is that the product is great, but the vendor (Supermart) was extremely unprofessional. I received Adventures of the Gummi Bears a month after I ordered it. It put a real damper on my Christmas when I couldn't give my sister the gift I had been promising her for weeks!
I had ordered the DVD sets (TaleSpin and Gummi Bears) on December 5th, 2009, expedited shipping. When December 18th rolled around, and neither product had arrived, I made several inquiries with Amazon and wrote Supermart three emails requesting the products' tracking numbers. Amazon was great; they were fully prepared to refund me for my purchases. Supermart, on the other hand, responded two days later to only one of my emails, explaining that they had forgotten to transfer my order number to their database (e.g., they forgot about my order), and that they were postmarking it that day. On Christmas Eve, I received the TaleSpin DVD set, and Gummi Bears was still missing.
I waited a few days, but Gummi Bears still hadn't arrived. So I made another round of inquiries, sent another three emails, and searched on the internet for more information on Supermart (the vendor gave Amazon only its email address, and nothing else). Supermart responded three days later, informing me that they would postmark my purchase within two to six business days (it turned out to be six), and giving me no explanation whatsoever for the holdup in product delivery (in other words, they forgot about my second purchase - I can't think of another reason). I must have received the product on January 6th (I was out of town when it arrived, and it was postmarked on the 4th), a month after I had ordered it.
Moral of the story: AVOID THIS VENDOR. I have read reviews about Supermart from other customers, and some of them were given the same runaround that I was. In addition, the vendor is not responsive to any inquiries that you make of it, and its responses are short and terse, which leads me to believe that they are automated. They don't provide Amazon with any contact information, other than their email address (I had to search online to find a phone number), and they don't provide Amazon or the customer with tracking numbers for their products. The products they sell are very nice, but you might have to go through a lot of hassle to get them.
Gummi Great December 5, 2009 W. Bradley Rember the show when I was growing up and now I want to share it with my kids. Great Set Great Show
Gummi bears back to life December 2, 2009 Meatloaf (New Zealand) In the Mid 80s Disney brought the gummi bears on television. Fantasy creatures in the context of the age of dragons, kings and knights. In this DVD comes 42 episodes of these heros, and the way they related to the medieval times. You get about half of all the episodes on these DVDs. It should be noted each episode went for 15 to 30 minutes on TV.Adventures of the Gummi Bears, Vol. 1 - Seasons 1-3
