Look mother!
Run, run for your lives!
So the ancient
Gummies sailed away
across the sea, safe
from the jealous humans
who would steal our secrets,
and destroy our great culture.
I hate sad endings.
Wow, think of it.
Right now somewhere
across the ocean
there are cities
full of Gummies.
Why didn't our
ancestors go with them?
Well a small band chose
to stay behind, Cubbi.
Their task was to
signal the others
when it was safe to come home.
How?
The ancients built some
kind of great machine
that could send
messages across the sea.
Yeah?
Then what?
Then, nothing.
Humans stayed human,
so the Great Gummies
never came back.
But it's safe now.
- Ha.
- Just think.
If the bears came home
I'd have someone to play with.
And I could be a
Great Gummi warrior.
And I could be a Gummi princess.
And I'd learn from
the Great Gummi wizards.
And I'd finally
have Gummies around
who'd appreciate my cooking.
I appreciate it.
And we wouldn't
be alone here anymore.
Let's signal them to come back.
It's a lovely dream sweetheart,
but there's a problem.
We've never been able to
find the signal machine.
Oh my, my.
It would be wonderful though.
Look your Dukishness.
How about lovely catapult.
We've tried that
already, remember?
I need a real weapon.
Something that will grind
castle Dunwyn into dust.
How comesy Dukiness get
mad at painting all the time?
Because they threw me out.
I deserve to rule Dunwyn,
and do you know why?
Because you snappy dresser?
Because I'm a peaceful man!
Yes, yes most peaceful.
I'm loved by everyone.
Adored oh jangly one.
Ohh.
I was Dunwyn's greatest knight,
and if that's not the truth,
may lightening strike me.
Wait a minute.
I once had a Gummi Bear
story book
that told of a lens like this.
A big lens.
Big enough to burn
almost anything.
Condemned.
So this is what Gregor
does to my childhood home.
Ah, my old books.
Now, where is that Gummi story?
Ah-ha.
"Tall Tales of the Gummi Bears."
Here it is, Toadie.
The Great Gummi Scope.
Listen to this.
"Near the river source
on a mountain slope,
lies a great machine
called the Gummi Scope."
Simple Toadie loves story.
"It can harness the sunlight
and shoot out a stream
that can send off a message
or burn with its beam."
Did you hear that, Toadie?
It can burn with it's beam.
But your Iggiosity,
is just make believe.
Since we know that
Gummi Bears are real,
then it stands to reason
that Gummi inventions are
real too, sparrow brain.
Hey Cavin, taking a moonlight
walk with your sweetheart?
Thieves.
This is the weapon
that will force Gregor
to surrender his throne.
It's Duke Igthorn.
Ah, stop in the
name of King Gregor.
Shut up brat.
Rah.
- Ahh.
- Guards, help!
It's Duke Igthorn.
We make easy get away.
Ahh.
Halt and identify yourself.
Duke Igthorn.
Soon to be your king.
And don't you forget it.
Gummi bears.
This is for you.
What would Igthorn want
with a children's book?
Something tells me
I better ask the bears.
Its just a fairy
tale book Cavin.
Lemme see.
Lemme see.
Ah come on.
It's written by some human.
What could he know about us.
What are you guys talking about?
Well if Duke Igthorn broke
into the castle to get it.
It must be important.
No fair, no fair.
Well unfortunately
we'll never know now.
With this page missing.
Hey, I have a
book just like that.
Oh, here's the missing page.
The Great Gummi Scope?
Hmm, it can harness the sunlight
and shoot out a stream
that can send off a message
or burn with its beam.
The signal machine.
It must be.
Straight as a lance
over seven hills.
Watch for seven hills
in a straight line.
How many is seven?
Well according to
the nursery rhyme,
its by the source
of a mountain river.
Say, it could be Mount Sentinel.
That's supposed to have
an underground river.
Hey, you might be right Cavin.
We've never been down
that quick tunnel before.
I say this thing is dangerous
and we should let it be.
We should be near
the river's source.
Pfhh.
I think we found it.
It looks like
Cavin guessed right.
Wow, look at all this.
Yeah, but where's
the Gummi Scope?
I think, well, I think
this is the Gummi Scope.
Now let's see.
I have a feeling
this lever raises it.
Let's bring it up.
No. It's too risky.
We gotta give this
thing more thought.
If we raise the scope,
Igthorn could find it.
But making contact
with the Great Gummis
is worth the risk.
No, it is not the Gummi way.
But Gruffi think a minute.
Our ancestors stayed here
to do this very thing.
Now it's up to us
to follow through.
This is the Gummi way.
You're right.
We're going up.
We're going up.
Boy, the Great Gummis never
did anything small, did they?
How's it work Zummi?
Ah well maybe this will tell us.
The big wheel turns
it from side to side,
and the small one
is for up and down.
Hey, I can see Dunwyn Castle.
My turn Cubbi.
There's our home!
Look at this.
Berryborn, Great Bearton,
New Gumbria.
What are those funny names?
Cubbi dear, those
are the new kingdoms
where the bears sailed to.
Quick Tummi, quick.
Turn the wheel to Berryborn.
I see, land!
That must be Berryborn.
Zummi, how do we send a message?
Well ah, this sends
flashes of light,
and this catches
the incoming flashes,
and turns them into words.
Well don't just stand there.
Send something.
Okay ah.
Hello, Great Gummis.
Now, if the bears answer,
the quill will
write what they say.
I don't see anything.
Oh well let's try
Great Bearton Tummi.
Okey Dokey.
- Nothing.
- That only leaves New Gumbria.
Well third times a charm.
Still nothing.
We tried our best.
Our ancestors would
have been proud of that.
But I know they're out there Grammi.
They've gotta be.
Wait.
There's a flash of light.
It must be a message.
What does it say?
Say? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
"Greetings, friends."
They're really out there.
They're really out there!
Turn it back Tummi,
turn it back.
We're loosing the message.
Not that way!
Dukie, big trouble.
- There it is.
- Oh, boy.
So that's what the rhyme
meant by burn with it's beam.
Oh no, it's Igthorn.
He's seen the scope.
I knew this would happen.
Hold them off while
I lower the darn thing.
Get lost you big goons.
It's those Gummi Bears!
It's stuck.
Why don't we just
zap em with the scope.
It can't point straight down.
Get up there you dolts.
We can't hold
them off any longer.
Run!
Muah!
It's mine.
At last, Dunwyn will be mine.
Surrender your crown Gregor,
or your castle is rubble.
Go back to ruling
your Ogre's Igthorn.
That's all you're fit for.
Come on Cavin.
Let's get a better view.
Surrender.
This is my last warning.
Go soak your head in the moat.
That's telling him, eh Sire.
If words won't convince you,
perhaps this will.
Duke want us to blast tower.
Fire!
Help, father!
Calla, she's in there.
Calla!
Oh!
Calla, wake up!
Juice!
Cavin, you're all right.
Yes, but Calla.
You'll despicable coward.
I'll never surrender to you.
Dukie no coward.
He once greatest
knight in Dunwyn.
People love him.
Quiet you fools.
You're talking to
the future king.
You have until sunset to
raise your flag of surrender.
Now we'll never get to
meet the Great Gummis.
Yeah, all our hard
work down the drain.
Cavin!
Igthorn has blasted the castle.
Trapped all the
people and hurt Calla.
Oh no!
We've gotta stop
him before sunset.
Great.
You can drink your
Gummiberry juice and
Not for another day Cubbi.
I already drank
some to save Calla.
Then we'll just
have to do our best.
Why doesn't Dukdemente just
burn down the naughty castle?
Because I don't want to rule
over a pile of
rubble mushroom mind.
I want them to surrender.
Ah, almost sunset
and still no flag.
Prepare to blast their granary.
That's my queue.
Wait, there's
something on the lens.
Go up there and clean it.
Up there?
Do I have to raise my voice?
No, Your Persuasiveness.
Rotate scope two degrees.
Okey dokey Dukie.
Lens all clean.
Let Toadie down.
What's going on
We've got to shoot while
we still have sunlight.
It would take a miracle
to stop Igthorn now.
Well I can't promise a miracle,
but a little magic
might do the trick.
Clumoud Flumite Humigh.
A storm cloud to block the sun.
That's it.
Oh dear, well I only
promised a little magic.
Aim, ready
fire!
What's wrong now?
A cloud?
Get rid of it
before the sun sets.
No, please Dukie.
Ow!
Hurry you imbecile.
All right, fire.
Drat.
Those rotten little bears.
- Yeah!
- We did it!
- Oh yeah.
- We won Gruffi!
Won, Ha.
All we did was to buy
ourselves some time.
That villain is going to pay
for this Calla, I swear it.
Any change, Sire?
The draw bridge is repaired,
if you're rather stay here
while I lead the
men against Igthorn.
No, I'm coming.
We'll take advantage
of the darkness
and surprise him.
By now there's only
one thing we can do.
Destroy the Gummi Scope.
The scope is too powerful.
Nobody should have control
of a thing like that.
As long as it exists,
nobody is safe.
Yeah, you're right Gruffi.
Now what we gotta do,
is dig through the dam and
let loose the underground river.
Of course, that'll tear out
the supports of the scope.
Ah, I better find
myself a shovel.
Okay, let's put
our backs into it.
It's not that long until dawn.
And you can bet that Igthorn
is waiting for that
first ray of sunshine.
Prepare to blast Dunwyn.
Mighty Dukerableness.
King Gregor and many,
many, knight.
Stop them, don't let
them near the scope.
Courage men, follow me.
Oh yeah, get em.
Gummi Bears,
please repeat message.
Dig, dig, dig.
Uh oh, it's getting
kind of bright.
Just keep digging.
Hey, I struck water.
It's working, it's working.
Give it everything you've got.
She's gonna blow.
Zummi, but what
happened to Zummi?
The message is done.
Yow!
Got Gummi.
Stay where you are Gregor
or Dunwyn is a
smoking pile of rock.
You won't destroy Dunwyn.
You want it too much.
Guess again Gregor.
Fire!
Oh I've got to get that message.
No, this is mine.
I'm going to be king!
Run Dukie, run.
Dunwyn is safe once more.
I, I lost it all.
Don't feel bad.
Dukie always has Toadie.
There's not much left
of the Gummi Scope.
I just hope there's
something left of Zummi.
Look.
Oh my, I had the
message but now it's gone.
Oh it's gotta be here somewhere.
It's like finding a
needle in a haystack.
Yoww!
Tummi, you found it!
Smeared.
Oh I can't read a word of it.
- We've failed.
- Failed?
Why we contacted the Great
Gummis, saved Dunwyn,
and defeated Igthorn
all in one day.
I'd say we did okay.
But what'll we do now
without the Great Gummies?
We'll go on like always.
After all sweetheart,
that's the Gummi way.
