[theme music playing]


Dashing and daring
Courageous and caring


Faithful and friendly
With stories to share


All through the forest
They sing out in chorus


Marching along
As their song fills the air


Gummi Bears


Bouncing here and there
and everywhere


High adventure
that's beyond compare


They are
the Gummi Bears


Magic and mystery
are part of their history


Along with the secret
Of gummiberry juice


Their legend is growing
They take pride in knowing


They fight for what's right
In whatever they do


Gummi Bears


Bouncing here and there
and everywhere


High adventure
that's beyond compare


They are
the Gummi Bears


They are
the Gummi Bears.


[flute playing]


Whew! Only one more
basket to go.


This gummiberry harvest
didn't take long at all.


Well, we did have
a little help,


thanks to Cavin.


It's no problem, Grammi.


Besides, this is fun.


I just wish humans could
work as well together.


Well, that is asking
an awful lot.


After all,
they're only humans.


Helping each other
is what being a Gummi
is all about, you know?


- [thud]
- Oh.


[Gruffi]
Say, where's Cubbi?


Wow! What's in here?


Stop fooling around, kid.
We've got work to do.


Besides, this tunnel
was sealed off


by the Great Gummies
a long time ago.


- How come?
- I don't know.


But I'm sure it was
for a good reason.


Hmm, seems like the Great
Gummies had a good reason
for everything.


[Tummi]
Guess that's what
made them great.


Great galloping Gummies!


Someone's been sitting
in my chair.


Someone's been eating
my porridge.


Yeah, well, someone's
been sleeping in my bed!


- This sure sounds familiar.
- [clanging]


Sounds like we have
an intruder.


And he's over there!


[Sir Thornberry]
What in tarnation?


Come out whoever you are.
[groans]


[moaning] Who turned
out the lights?


Why when I get my
hands on you, I'll--


Sir Thornberry,
what are you doing here?


Me? Why, I came
to visit, I did.


Must have taken
a wrong turn though.


Well, it's good thing
I did drop in,


because I got to drop
on this here human.


Oh, but you don't understand.


This is Cavin.
He's our friend.


Hmph!


"Never trust a stranger,"
that's my motto.


Nonsense! Cavin is
always welcome here.


And so are you.


Now come along,
Sir Thornberry,


and I'll show you
the rest of Gummi Glen.


No you're taking, girl.


Just lead the way.


Sir Thornberry?


Wow, a real Gummi Knight.


More like a real
Gummi "knightmare"


Thanks for helping out, Cavin.


Grammi wants
everything ship shape
for Sir Thornberry.


And this is Gummi Glen's
Main Hall.


Hmm, I say,
it's kind of
dusty in here...


eh, eh...
[sneezes]


Well, we would have
cleaned up earlier


- knowing we were
having a visitor.
- [honks nose]


Oh, a visitor?


Oh, why didn't you say you
were expecting a visitor?


We got to get
this place cleaned up.


[groaning]


[crash]


Oh, well.
Accidents will happen.


That's right.
Only they seem to happen


a lot more when
Sir Thornberry's around.


Easy now, Cavin.


We don't want
to spill a drop.


This gummiberry juice has
gotta last for quite a while.


Ooh, that bear's gonna
drive me batty.


By "that bear"
I suppose you mean
Sir Thornberry?


Who else?


That goofy Gummi
decided to clean up
my workshop.


And now I can't find
any of my tools.


[slurps] Why don't
you check the cupboard?


The cupboard? Why didn't
I think of that?


[groans]


Looks like Sir Thornberry
helped clean up
the library, too.


- That does it!
- Now calm down, Gruffi.


Sir Thornberry is
only trying to help.


Sure he is.


Isn't that what being
a Gummi is all about?


Absolutely.


And in order to help
Sir Thornberry feel
right at home,


- tonight I'm making
a special dinner.
- Good idea.


Maybe your cooking
will get rid of him.


[glug glug]


Oh, boy!


All that helping out
sure makes a bear thirsty.


Hey! What do you
think you're doing?!


Land sakes, you drank
all our gummiberry juice!


What have you got
to say for yourself now?


[hiccups]


That was gummiberry juice?


Why, I haven't had it
for so long


I nearly
forgot how it tastes.
Tastes pretty good.


Did you also forget
what happens when
you drink too much?


Well, I--
Well, that is--
[mumbling]


[screaming]


[Gruffi]
Heads up!


[giggles]
Whoo-wee!


Eh, am I through?
[hiccups]


You're through,
all right.


We spent all morning
picking these berries.


[apologetically]
Oh... sorry.


You need more?
Noo... problem.


I'm the fastest
berry-pickin' bear
this side of Ursalia.


Boy, I never thought
one Gummi bear could
cause some much trouble.


And to think
the Great Gummies
made him a knight.


Now let me show you
how to work this break.


Don't worry about me, sonny.


When it comes
to driving quickcars


I'm an old pro...!
[screaming]


Wonder how you slow
this thing down.


Let's see now.


What did Gruffi
say this was?


[snaps]
A break?


Yep. It broke.


[screams]


[groaning]


Hmm, they sure
don't make quickcars
like they used to.


Oh, well, guess I'll
just have to walk back..


Right after I pick me
some gummiberries.


Blast! I missed
that Gummi Bear.


Oh, well, well.


I'm sure there are plenty
more where he came from.
[snickers]


There. It looks almost
like Sir Thornberry
was never here.


Well, let's just hope
we can finish cleaning up
before he gets back.


[loud crash]


Sounds like
he's back already.


Well, I gotta hand it
to Sir Thornberry,


he sure knows how
to make an entrance.


[Grammi]
Help, Cavin, help!!


[Spinster]
Surprise, surprise.


The Spinster has come
sweep you off your feet.
[chuckles]


[struggling]


Hey, what's going on?
[grunts]


Hmm, who needs you?


I got just what
I'm looking for.


[groaning]


- [struggling]
- [Cavin] Come back!


Travelling by foot,
sure safer than those
confounded quickcars


[smacking lips]
Of course it does
make you kind of hungry.


I hope I didn't
miss lunch.


Say, where'd everybody go?


Sir Thornberry.


Oh, thank goodness
you're back.


The Gummies are
in big trouble.


You're telling me.


If they dusted
once in a while


they wouldn't have
this problem.


[struggling]
You don't understand.
There was a giant spider.


Oh, fiddle faddle.


Haven't been any
great spiders since...


the Great Gummies
trapped the Spinster.


But it was the Spinster.


It was?


Well, why didn't
you say so?


The Gummies could be
in big trouble.
Oh, trouble.


[annoyed]
That's what I said!


Well, what are
we waiting for?


We've gotta help 'em
before it's too late!


[groans]


[Sunni]
Where are you taking us?


Oh, how rude of me
to keep you in suspense.


I must have forgotten
my manners.


You see, I haven't
gotten out much lately,


until now, that is.


[Cubbi]
Look, the quickcar.


Poor Thornberry.


And to think he was
only trying to help us.


Oh, he did help.


Before he escaped,
he helped free me.
[laughter]


[Gruffi]
I should have known.


- That bear always did
have a nose for trouble.
- [bag rips]


[sniffing]


Wouldn't it
have been faster
to take a quickcar?


No, those old contraptions
aren't reliable.


See what I mean?


[sniffs]
Yep, they've been
this way, all right.


- Are you sure?
- Absolutely, lad.


The nose knows.


Follow me.


[Cavin]
Wow! It's like a whole
other world in here.


Keep your eyeballs
peeled, boy.


That Spinster might not
be the only thing here
that's dangerous.


Sir Thornberry,
look out!


Whoa!


[Thornberry]
Oh, oh. See what I mean?


Oh, no! How are we
gonna get across that?


Hmmm.


Well, the first thing
we'll need is... [sniffing]


- ...honey!
- Honey?


This is no time
to think about food.


Oh-oh! This just
isn't any food.


Why, this is genuine
Floogal honey.


[slurps]


What's a Floogal?


That is.


[screams]


[buzzing]


[Cavin]
Whew! That thing
looks dangerous.


It is.


Now, let's mount up.


[Cavin] Whoa!


[Floogal groaning]


Yahoo!


Have you lost your mind?


Why, did you find one?


Uh-oh, this is
where we get off.


[buzzing]
[thuds]


[groans]


Wow! That couldn't
have worked better
if you planned it.


[slurps]


Who says I didn't?


[sniffing]


Ah...


Mmmm... ohh.


[gurgling]
Ah-hah.


- Hey!
- We have to cross here.


Are you sure?
It looks pretty deep.


Nonsense.


Whoa!


What's the big idea?


Hmm? What? Uh-oh.


You just gotta know
where the rocks are.


Yeah, they're in your head.


Maybe so. But we've
gotta fine the others.


- [growling]
- Huh?


[Cavin screams]
Wait!


[Spinster]
Ah, home at last.


Well, how do you
like the place?


I decorated it myself.


Looks like it could use
a good dusting.


Oh, I'm so sorry
you don't like it.


But then, you won't
be staying long


so it doesn't
really matter.


You mean you're not
gonna keep us locked up?


Oh, my, of course not.
[laughs]


After all,
you're not my prisoners,


you're my dinner!


Why don't you
just admit it?
You're lost!


How could I be lost?


I don't even know
where I'm going.


I told you we were
going the wrong way.


I mean, why do we always
have to do things your way.


Guess I've been
on my own so long


it's the only way
I know how.


Fine!
Do things your way.


I'm going back
to see if I can
pick up the trail.


Sonny, wait!
[echoing]


[cracking]


Hmm. Not bad.


Listen to this.


[whispering]
Sir Thornberry, no!


[yelling]
Gummi-gummi-gummi-hoo!


[echoing]
Gummi-gummi-gummi...


[rumbling]
[cracking]


Uh-oh!


[rumbling]


Hurry, Sir Thornberry.
We'll be safe in there.


I'm right behind you.
Oohh!


Sir Thornberry?


Look out!


Oh, fuzzslobber.


Blasted belt's
not going anywhere.


Hold still.


You sure you know
what you're doing?


Trust me.


Ha. Never trusted
a human before.


'Course I haven't
had to trust anyone
for quite some time.


- Yikes!
- Let's get moving!


But my sword!


That could have been us!


By Gum, you're right!


You know, I'm really
going to miss you.


I haven't had
guests for dinner
in a long time.


Get it? [chuckles]
"Guests for dinner"?


[laughing]


Well, it must have been
a really long time,


because you've obviously
forgotten how to cook Gummies.


What do you mean?


Well, first of all,


the water's not
nearly hot enough.


It's not?


And you really should add
a few onion roots
and pepper leaves.


I think Grammi's
cooking is finally
gone to her head.


Also a pinch of parsley
will add a lot of spice
to the dish.


It's how all Giant Spiders
eat Gummies.


[Spinster]
How can you be sure?


Why, Grammi's
the greatest cook around.


Hmm, onion roots,
pepper leaves,
and parsley.


Oh, that does sound tasty.
I'll get some right away.


Grammi, I can't believe
you'd tell a Spinster
how to cook Gummies.


I was just trying
to get her to leave.


So we could
get out of here.


Pretty clever, huh?
[chuckles]


[Spinster]
Oh, I forgot
to mention one thing.


In case you have
any thoughts about escaping


forget them!


It could be
a sticky situation.


[maniacal laughter]


[whistles]


What a mess.
Glad that's over.


Yeah, but where
do we go now?


There's not a sign
of that spider anywhere.


We might as well
give up.


Never give up,
that's what I say.


Or is it never look up?


Well...


Hey, now where
are you going?


Ooh, that selfish ol' bear
never waits for anyone.


[gulps]
Sir Thornberry?


[croaking]


[croaking]


[chuckles]
Hi, little fella.


[deep croaking]


Uh-oh.


[groans]


Sir Thornberry?
You came back.


Why of course I did.


You know what
your problem is?


- You don't trust anyone.
- But I--


No time for lollygagging, lad.


I found the Spinster's lair.


Are you sure
there isn't some way
out of here, Grammi?


I'm afraid it doesn't
look too good, sweetheart.


Why don't we just
ram our way out?


[screaming]


[grunts]


Okay, so that wasn't
such hot idea.


Hot idea?


- That's it, Cubbi!
- It is?


Yeah, just help me
swing this cage.


[straining]


So long, Spinster!


I hope she likes
her cobwebs extra crispy.


Well, let's not
stick around to find out.


Hey, what's the hurry?


Sir Thornberry?
Cavin? You found us!


[sniffing]


Say, what's cooking?


[Spinster]
You will be!


[gasps]


Oh, you were
going to leave without
even saying goodbye?


Have you no manners?


[Gruffi]
Heads up!


I won't miss
a second time.


Oh, my stars.


[gasps]
Zummi!


Hmm, looks like you
get to be my appetizer.


Not so fast,
you knobby-kneed nuisance.


[Zummi] Now what are
we doughing to goo--
going to do?


Maybe we can fight it off.


Maybe we should run!


Maybe Grammi
could cook up something
else for it to eat.


Well, you kids can stay here
and jawbone all you like,


but I'm getting
out of here.


Now what's that
loony bear doing?


He's not loony.


Maybe not, but he's
in big trouble.


What's the matter
you big galoot?


- Too fast for you?
- Hardly.


[groans]


Sir Thornberry!


Don't worry about me, kiddo.


All you gotta do
is step out and let
the Spinster catch ya.


Trust me.


Well, maybe Sir Thornberry
really is loony.


But if he is,
then so am I!


[Spinster]
Got you!


[gulps]
Well, if Cavin
trusts him,


I guess I can, too.


[Gruffi]
Cubbi, don't!


Anyone else?


This is the most
ridiculous idea
I've ever heard of.


And if you think
I'm going to--
Whoaa!


[Thornberry]
No we got her right
where we want her.


We do?


Just watch me.


[Spinster]
Hey, where are you going?


- You following me
this time, kid?
- You bet I am.


You, stop that!
Stop that right now!


This isn't fair!


Whoa! Whoa!


[thuds]


You did it,
Sir Thornberry!


You did it.
You outspun the Spinster.


Well I'll be flamdoodled.


You know, there aren't
supposed to be anymore
Great Gummies,


but I think there's still
one really Great Gummi,


Sir Thornberry!


There, that ought
to keep the Spinster


from ever visiting
Gummi Glen again.


Speaking of visiting,
you can stay with us


for as long as you like,
Sir Thornberry.


Why thank you, darlin',
I'd love to stay.


But I can't always be
thinking about myself,
now can I?


Besides, those cobwebs
got me thinking about


all the work
I've got to do
back in Ursalia.


Well, uh, thanks
for all your help.


Oh, it's all
in a day's work,
little fella.


Oh, by the way.


I fixed up that
quickcar for you, too.


Toodle-loo!


I wonder what
Thornberry meant?


There was nothing
wrong with this,
but the brake...


and I fixed that.


[rumbling]


[chuckles]
There's only one
Sir Thornberry,


- that's for sure.
- Thank goodness.
