In little more than 5 years our character has established itself as the most successful and best known animated character on the internet, building a massive worldwide fan following in the process. It is a rare but happy feat that a character keeps growing in popularity year after year, generating ever increasing views. We’re looking forward to expanding the reach of Gummibär even further this year with a number of new ventures including a new CD and DVD, new video games and apps, an exciting line of merchandise products, and of course plenty of great videos.”
