Episodes

Background

Seasons 1–5 are listed here in their original U.S. network episode order. In the original network run from season 2 onward, some 11-minute segments originally aired mixed with repeats; when the show was distributed internationally, the segments were combined into standardized half-hour combinations. Season 5 had an odd number of 11-minute segments; "Never Give a Gummi an Even Break" is coupled with the season 6 segment "Friar Tum" in the "international" order.

The episode arrangements for the Disney Afternoon airings were completely different, with half-length segments from different seasons mixed together. These versions subsequently aired on The Disney Channel, Toon Disney, and the Family Channel in Canada.

Season 6 premiered as part of The Disney Afternoon. The order and airdates presented here correspond to the first airings of the new episodes on TDA. Three of these were 11-minute episodes, "Friar Tum", "Zummi in Slumberland", and "A Recipe for Trouble", which each aired in the U.S. coupled with a segment from a previous season; here, each of them is listed by itself. In international markets, season 6 was presented in a different order than in the U.S., and these segments were grouped together into two half-hours (with "Friar Tum" being coupled with the leftover season 5 segment "Never Give a Gummi an Even Break"). This is why some episode guides list "Friar Tum/Never Give a Gummi an Even Break" and "Zummi in Slumberland/A Recipe for Trouble", which is how the episodes were presented internationally. Also, though most consider the two-part "King Igthorn" story to be the series finale, and it comes last in the international episode order, six more episodes premiered after it in the U.S., over a two-week period in February 1991.

Two numbers are given for each episode: One number corresponding to the order in which it premiered in the U.S., and a second corresponding to Disney's official "international" order (with the 11-minute segments marked "a" or "b" to denote the first or second segment).

Note: Cubbi does not appear in this episode, though he is mentioned by Zummi at the end of the episode. In addition, Jim Cummings replaces Paul Winchell as the voice of Zummi Gummi. Special notes: The abbott of the monastery that Tummi accidentally joins is named Abbott Costello, an homage to the comedy duo Abbott and Costello. Also, the troll named Tuck is called "Friar Tuck" by his boss, Clutch. This is an homage to Robin Hood's religious friend.

Tummi and Cubbi witness a delegation of knights arriving for a great tournament.

Note: Zummi, Grammi, and Sunni do not appear in this episode. In addition, this is the first and only episode to focus on Sir Tuxford. Finally, this is Jason Marsden's last episode voicing Cavin. He had the longest tenure of voicing the character at a little over two seasons. R. J. Williams of Kissyfur fame would later take over the role a few episodes later, in "Thornberry to the Rescue".

When this results in Zummi, Grammi, Gruffi, Tummi, Sunni, and Cubbi all being kidnapped by her, he and Cavin become the Gummies' best hope of escaping this evil monster before she makes dinner out of them. Note: This is R. J. Williams's first episode voicing Cavin. He would be the final voice actor for the character, voicing him until the end of the series. Special note: As a result of Sir Thornberry making himself at home in Gummi-Glen off-screen, Gruffi says that someone has been sitting in his chair, Grammi says that someone has been eating her porridge, and Cubbi says that someone has been sleeping in his bed. Cavin states that the situation sounds familiar. Though he does not realize it, he is, of course, referring to Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
56	8	"Once More, the Crimson Avenger"	November 5, 1990 (1990-11-05)
Cubbi almost gives up being the Crimson Avenger after a string of humiliating defeats, but is re-inspired by a young boy named Milton and his faith in the alter-ego.

Notes: Zummi and Tummi do not appear in this episode. In addition, with this being Cubbi's last stint as the Crimson Avenger, none of the other Gummies other than Tummi ever find out his identity over the course of the series.
57	9	"A Recipe for Trouble"	November 6, 1990 (1990-11-06)
Grammi tries to become a better cook and collects a number of strange roots for seasoning. The trio of gnomes needs these roots to appease an ever-hungry, bullying slug-like monster called the Slugger, and they believe that the Gummies stole the roots (and they are correct, as Grammi did so, though inadvertently). Out of revenge, they kidnap Zummi, Gruffi, Tummi, and Sunni to feed to the monster, which makes Grammi decide to give him a taste of her homemade cooking instead.
58	10	"Queen of the Carpies"	November 15, 1990 (1990-11-15)
The bullying king of the Carpies loses his crown, which ends up in Sunni's hands – and the other Carpies promptly assume that she has defeated their king. Thus, they take poor Sunni once again to Carpy Mountain, this time to rule as their queen, while the other Gummies must treat the accidentally-deposed Carpy King, who was injured by Tummi. Note: This is the second time that Sunni has been kidnapped by Carpies, the first time being in "A Gummi in a Gilded Cage". Also, Zummi does not appear until the third act of this episode, and even then, he only has one line of dialogue. Finally, this is the thirteenth episode in which Calla appears without Cavin. Special note: The Carpy Bobo, who becomes king at the end of this episode, has personality traits, mannerisms, and speech patterns based on the Looney Tunes character Beaky Buzzard. He even says things similar to the character.

Then, Gritty tries to get revenge on a group of mountain shepherds for human crimes against the ancient Gummi Bears, and Cubbi has a hard time trying to persuade him otherwise. Note: Zummi, Grammi, Tummi, and Sunni do not appear in this episode. Special note: The title of this episode is a play on the phrase "true grit".
60	12	"King Igthorn: Part I"	November 27, 1990 (1990-11-27)
With no sign of Igthorn for an entire year, not even in his own castle, Zummi finds this news as a perfect opportunity to call on the Great Gummies (much to the skepticism of Gruffi). However, Igthorn has been absent for the past year because he has actually devised the ultimate plan to finally capture the Gummies, obtain the Gummiberry juice, and take over Dunwyn once and for all. Note: First appearance of Gusto this season. His only other appearance is in "Rocking Chair Bear".
61	13	"King Igthorn: Part II"	November 28, 1990 (1990-11-28)
Igthorn and his ogres have destroyed Gummi Glen, captured Dunwyn Kingdom and its citizens, and are keeping Grammi and Tummi held in Drekmore. Now Cavin and the remaining Gummies, with the help of the Barbics, must save them all while Zummi retrieves the Great Book and warn the Great Gummies to turn back. Everything culminates in one final showdown, pitting the Gummies against their long-time foe, Igthorn, to determine the ultimate fate of Dunwyn. Note: This is the last episode produced for the show (and thus the true series finale), but not the last one aired. In this final episode, Gusto finally meets the Barbics, Igthorn is defeated for good, and Drekmore Castle is destroyed, leaving him with no ogres other than Toadie. In addition, the main Gummies move from the destroyed Gummi Glen to Ursalia. In this final episode, no humans ever learn of the Gummies' existence (other than the few who did learn of them over the course of the series).
62	14	"Tummi Trouble"	February 14, 1991 (1991-02-14)
Igthorn purchases a love potion from a traveling gypsy to get Lady Bane to fall in love with him, but a severe accident instead makes Lady Bane fall in love with Toadie, and Tummi in love with Lady Bane. Note: Zummi and Cubbi only appear at the end of this episode, but neither one speaks. In addition, Grammi and Tummi meet Lady Bane and the Troggles for their first and only time.
63	15	"Rocking Chair Bear"	February 18, 1991 (1991-02-18)
When Lady Bane gets a lock of Sunni's hair, she uses it as part of a spell to keep her eternally young. The spell also has an inverse effect on Sunni, aging her from a young Gummi to an old one. Zummi, Gruffi, and Gusto must get Sunni's hair back to reverse the spell before Sunni dies of old age decades too soon. Notes: This episode marks the final appearance of Lady Bane and the Troggles. In addition, this is the fourth time in which Gusto is seen drinking Gummiberry juice and gaining the bouncing abilities granted to Gummies. He also meets Lady Bane and the Troggles for his first and only time.
64	16	"Trading Faces"	February 19, 1991 (1991-02-19)

King Gregor and Calla travel to the realm of King Jean-Claude and his daughter Marie to discuss an alliance against a fiendish villain, Marquis de Bouillabaisse, and Sunni is accidentally forced to follow along, while Tummi and Cubbi follow to get her home before Gruffi finds out that any of them are gone. Once more, the girls engage in a competitive quarrel, which leads them right into the arms of Bouillabaisse. Now the girls must work together to escape and defeat the villain, with help from the Gummies, before he can use them against their fathers. Note: Zummi and Grammi appear briefly at the beginning of this episode, but neither one speaks. In addition, this is the second and final appearance of King Jean-Claude and Princess Marie, the latter of whom reforms from her prior behavior in "Princess Problems" and becomes a heroine and good friend of Calla's. She also learns of the Gummies' existence and, like Cavin, Calla, Sir Gawain, and Doctor Dexter before her, vows to keep their existence a secret. This is the fourteenth and final episode in which Calla appears without Cavin. Special note: Bouillabaisse is likely based on French conqueror Napoleon Bonaparte, with his short stature and tyrannical nature.
66	18	"Wings Over Dunwyn"	February 21, 1991 (1991-02-21)
Grammi and Tummi go to feed a flock of giant birds just returning from their winter quarters, only to be forced to protect them from Igthorn, who is hunting these birds to use them as war steeds, and take care of one of their young at the same time.
67	19	"The Rite Stuff"	February 22, 1991 (1991-02-22)

However, a pair of satyr poachers are on the prowl, looking for furs to line their purses, and Gruffi, Ursa, Buddy, and Sir Thornberry just so happen to be quite hairy. Note: Zummi, Grammi, and Sunni do not appear in this episode.
