Very few of those shows from the 80’s/early 90’s are able to be binged. Ever try rewatching ducktails or tmnt? They’re fine but one episode is good. Two or three is trying.
Good animation, good acting, tight dialogue, straightforward adventures. The fault with old shows, but a blessing to me, is that it isn't as briskly paced or filled with jokes as what you might be used to.
The highlight of this show, besides the richly realized fantasy world, is the villain Igthorn. It's a fun, over the top performance that's perfect for the kind of show this is.
Calla is the most underrated "Disney Princess" besides princess Eilonwy.
I sat down to watch an episode or two recently. Well, within the last few years.
It was kind of painful to watch. This was mostly due to the story beats - the audio and visuals were still good. I think the problem was just that I wasn't interested in the children's writing at this point. Simply plot, lame jokes, easy resolution.
If you're fine with that, then go ahead and give it a watch. I'd think that there were better shows from Disney in that era, but it's about the same as what you should expect so if Gummi Bears has your interest, give it a shot.
There are many childish episodes but some are rather dark.
It’s a very imaginative children’s fantasy with rather impressive voice work and music. It’s easy to crap on 80s fantasy/sci-fi cartoons as being soulless catch grabs but it is very reminiscent of He-Man and Thundercats, in the sense that the writing staff, music team, and voice actors all put way more effort into these shows than they needed to. Animation still, surprisingly, holds up. Worth checking out if you enjoy fantasy cartoons and don’t mind something a little more lighthearted
There was some discussion in a previous thread of what sort of specialty classes a Gummi might have if they were included as a playable race in an RPG. The concept of a Brewmeister/Brewmistress came up, based on the brewing of gummi berry juice. This class would fight with steins or giant ladles, and be capable of dishing out splash damage with various alchemical liquids, including, naturally, gummi berry juice.

it gave me a fetish for hot sexy girls in knight armor, so it's fine by me
This is proof that there is no real difference between cartoons today and back then except for the too occasional race swap
You are all old boomers who only like old stuff because the new stuff makes you feel old
>annoying feminist bullshit
It's just the old princess-secretly-enters-the-contest-to-win-her-own-hahnd-in-marriage story. It's not THAT annoying. Plus, her gummi bear armor was pretty dope.
The show was actually a major gamble for Disney, as it was a very new idea. Disney reasoned that the costs of a high-quality animated show could be recovered in syndication. Also, TV animation companies like Hanna-Barbera and Filmation had to operate within the network license fees for their productions to keep the studios alive, while Disney, a major media corporation with renewed strength, could directly finance their TV work on top of the network license fees for a future payoff. The gamble worked, and a new era of unprecedented quality in western television animation was born with Disney's competitors eventually being forced to raise their production standards and budgets to avoid unfavorable comparisons. In short, this series helped usher in The Renaissance Age of Animation.
You can't exactly binge watch it, but it's better than you'd think

I would totally plow Sunni

Kino opening.
Peak Disney TV animation
Have you tried watching episode 1 by yourself?
Just watch the damn show and form your own opinion about it.
I would totally let her bounce up and down on me
Who's the next Disney Afernoon show in getting rebooted after Darkwing Duck and TaleSpin by Seth Rogen? Goof Troop or Gummi Bears
'salright
For me it's Ursa

They would make a fun RPG race, maybe to replace Gnomes or something like that.
The theme song is worth listening to at least

It’s budget was significantly higher then most shows during the 80s, I think that by itself is enough to at least check out a couple of episodes

Why?
Not that anon, but I grabbed this from a wiki:

It's... cozy. Unless you're le edgy contrarian, give it a try.
Okay.
