Aired: 1985-1991

Disney's 'Gummi Bears' is an action/comedy series about a hidden group of bears who are the secret defenders of the human kingdom of Dunwyn. Episodes consist of two 11 minute unconnected segments, or one full-length segment (22 minutes) when a storyline warranted.

Together with their human friends, Cavin and Princess Calla, the bears attempt to remember their long forgotten past which was recorded in the Great Book of Gummi centuries ago. One secret that was never forgotten was the recipe of Gummiberry juice, a mystical potion that allows any Gummi Bear, upon downing the liquid, to become 'bouncy.' Gummiberry Juice also had the rather unique ability to make human beings superhumanly strong. That was one of the reasons why the villian Igthorn desperately wanted the secret of the Gummiberry Juce.

With this knowledge and the realization of other secrets, the Gummi Bears will then be able to reunite the other bears scattered throughout the world and resurrect their once powerful city.

* Willo The Wisp on the media player *

I used to love this programme sooooo much - a series of 5 minute cartoons about a group of inhabitants of a forest. Willo The Wisp is a ghost who narrates each story. Other characters included Evil Edna (a witch shaped like a TV), Mavis (a rather overweight fairy), The Moog, The Argonauts (strange alien things that flew around in a mushroom). 26 Episodes were made in 1983, the series was narrated by Kenneth Williams of "Carry On" fame.
