Have you ever compared Hanna-Barbera's The Smurfs to Disney's Adventures of The Gummi Bears?
I did.
From watching all the Smurf and Gummi Bears episodes on my DVD (I converted my old and new tapes to DVDs), I started to realize the similarities between the two shows.
Similarities:
- Both were successful
- Both was on NBC (well, until last 2 seasons of Gummi Bears)
- Both ended in 1990
- Both were fantasy adventure-like shows
- Paul Winchell (Gargamel, Nosy & Baby Smurf on The Smurfs, Zummi (season 1 to 5) on GB), June Foray (Grammi Gummi on GB and Jokey Smurf & Mother Nature in The Smurfs), Noelle North (Cubbi Gummi on GB and Slouchy Smurf), Alan Young (Various on GB, and Farmer and Minor Smurf) and others did voices for both shows
- Both had Villans: Gargamel and Duke Igthorn
- Kid Humans: Calvin and Princess Calla (Gummi Bears), Johan and Princess Savina, Prince Gearld (The Smurfs)
- Mystical Powers (Zummi Gummi, Papa Smurf and Gargamel)
That's the comparisons I only know for know. For the members: Smurfs, or Gummi Bears?
