The show was created by The Walt Disney Company and premiered on NBC on September 14, 1985, and continued to air on ABC. The final episode of the series was aired on December 8, 1990. Episodes were later rebroadcast on the syndicated Disney Afternoon block. Reruns on the Disney Afternoon and on Saturday mornings on ABC continued through the summer of 1991. It was later archived into the Disney Channel and Toon Disney. It was inspired by the gummi bear candies. There was also a line of toys based on the show. There are 95 episodes in 65 shows.

The main characters were seven anthropomorphic bears, although some human characters also featured. The series is set in medieval times in the once populous Gummi Glen; the main Gummies' neighborhood is inhabited only by seven gummies. The world has other gummies. Great Gummies are refugees elsewhere awaiting a signal to return. Other gummies live in Ursalia. Allies of the gummies include the people of Dunwyn (Princess Calla and Cavin), other kind humans, and other Gummi Bears. Their main nemesis is Duke Igthorn, who aims, with the aid of ogres, to rule Dunwyn. The theme song, "Bouncing here and there and everywhere", was written by Michael and Patty Silversher.

The Gummi Bears gain their ability to (temporarily) bounce by drinking Gummiberry Juice. If the juice was consumed by humans, they would (also temporarily) gain superhuman strength (however, it would only work once a day) and for this reason, the bears kept the recipe secret (this element is perhaps influenced by the Asterix stories). A fruit juice drink called Gummiberry juice was for a short while retailed in the United Kingdom, and possibly other places.

Of interesting note, aside from DuckTales and Gargoyles, Gummi Bears was the only show in the Disney Afternoon generation of TV animation that had a series finale. All the other shows such as Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers and TaleSpin lacked a "last episode", and were for the most part ended on open notes.

The Gummi Bears were last seen on Toon Disney on December 28, 2001. A DVD release of Seasons 1 - 3 came in November 14, 2006. There is no word on when Seasons 4 -6 will be released on DVD at this time.

Main characters

The seven gummies who live in Gummi Glen are:

Gruffi (voiced by Bill Scott (Season 1) and Corey Burton) - the no-nonsense, perfectionist and conservative every-job-Gummi. He is the technician of the group, and has a running feud with Grammi.; Zummi (voiced by Paul Winchell (Seasons 1–5) and Jim Cummings) - The colony's "keeper of Gummi wisdom" turned magician with unreliable skill. Frequently forgets important things, including spells, at the worst possible moment and does spoonerisms when stressed. He is also very helpless when he loses his glasses and suffers from fear of heights (acrophobia), which troubled the Gummi Bears frequently.; Grammi (voiced by June Foray) - The matriarch of the Gummi clan, she cooks and cleans and prepares the gummiberry juice. Her cookings - which sometimes are purely experimental - are not always appreciated by the others.; Tummi (voiced by Lorenzo Music) - the gluttonous teenaged Gummi who is seemingly slow in thinking and action, but is as courageous as the rest. He has a sweet tooth and is a talented planter. He loves building model boats.; Sunni (voiced by Katie Leigh) - "token adolescent" of the bunch who often rebels against the clan but learns her lessons eventually. She is quite fond of rather 'radical' fashions. Her dream is to one day be a princess.; Cubbi (voiced by Noelle North) - the youngest Gummi. An aspiring knight, he is always looking for adventure, and often finds it. Because of his youth, he is often not taken seriously by the others, which is just as frequently a huge mistake. When fighting crime at Dunwyn, he uses the masked identity of the Crimson Avenger.; Gusto (Augustus) (voiced by Rob Paulsen) - (introduced in Season 2) the artistic Gummi and an individualist, he lives away from Gummi Glen with his toucan friend, Artie Deco (originally voiced by series story editor, Jymn Magon). Gusto is an artist who is very creative with mercurial moods depending on how well his (sometimes unsophisticated) work is going or being appreciated. He sometimes goes to Gummi Glen to visit the rest of the Gummis. Being a later addition, he appears less often on the show although he is a fan favorite.;
