I used to love the Gummi Bears when I was a kid, but every time I've mentioned the show, no one sees to know what I'm talking about. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Edit:

This one too. It was kinda like a mix of G.I. Joe & Transformers.

A just saw a YouTube video about this, David the gnome, and the wuzzles. The absolute raw voice talent they had on those shows is something we will likely be privy to again.

[โ€“] Macallan@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Aww man! I forgot about The Wuzzles!

I used to watch that one too.

I still have an Ele-roo stuffed toy in good condition.

[โ€“] Macallan@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nice! I think I had that one as a kid. I'm pretty sure my brother had a bumblelion.

[โ€“] bss03@infosec.pub 2 points 3 days ago

Same: Little brother got Bumblelion. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it got destroyed by a dog at some point.

[โ€“] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 days ago

I can still sing the Gummi Bears theme song lol

[โ€“] one_old_coder@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Both the Gummi Bears and MASK were famous in France for some reason. MASK was weird but fun, they also made a ton of money by selling toys.

[โ€“] Macallan@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah, cartoons were all about selling toys, even back in the 80's.

Here's another obscure show:

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors.

I don't remember much about the show, but I was all about the toys.

I remember having this one:

Drill Sergeant

My dad actually liked that show more than we did I think. When Rugrats had Stu Pickles obsessed with the Dummy Bears cartoon it reminded me of my dad. My dad wasn't that crazy about it but that bit of characterization made the show more endearing to me.

That Gummy bears theme song was like crack. I tried rewatching it now, and it doesn't have thst same magic anymore. Around that time Voltron was on and Go Bots was around too.

[โ€“] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I still randomly sing the theme song, but substitute my wifeโ€™s name in for โ€œgummyโ€.

[โ€“] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

baller theme song too! M-m-m-m-MASK!

I used to watch it every Saturday morning!

When we first saw Mask someone thought T-bob's name was Cheeseball, so forever would it be amongst us kids.
