== History ==
The Official Gummibär Channel was created on March 26, 2008. This was done not long after the retirement of icanrockyourworld, Gummibär's old channel which hosts The Gummy Bear Song's famous music video. The video has billions of views. The new channel then began uploading music videos for new songs, some of these would gain hundreds of millions of views. They uploaded their music videos in many different languages as well.
On November 6, 2012, Gummibär and Lionsgate released a direct-to-video feature length film titled Gummibär: The Yummy Gummy Search for Santa. However in the film, Gummibär would not be voiced by Christian André Schneider and instead would be voiced by actress Sonja Ball. In 2013, the film was theatrically released in Greece due to Gummibär sky-rocketing popularity in the country. https://www.cinematerial.com/movies/yummy-gummy-search-for-santa-the-movie-i2502186/p/nzzkph8t The full movie was uploaded for free to the YouTube channel in November 2014.
On June 24, 2016, the channel uploaded the first episode of The Gummy Bear Show. This was an animated series based off of Gummibär, along with the other characters introduced in music videos and films. The second season of the series ended on August 26, 2022 and is unknown if it will be renewed for a third season. Gummibär’s voice would once again be provided by another actress Phillipa Alexander.https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5964700/
== Canceled Television Series and Theatrical Movie ==
At one point a Gummibär animated television series was in production sometime between 2011-2012 simply titled The Gummibär Show. This series had a promotional pilot on the channel for a short time until it was silently removed eventually. Unlike Gummibär and Friends, this series had a slightly different CG animation style and kept Gummibär’s original trademark autotuned voice provided by Christian A. Schneider.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YYr7aeLZPqQ The pilot even had an alternate version that featured a commentary between Gummibär and the famous fictional character James Bond also removed. The reasons for this is unknown, however it’s assumed that it was canceled to make The Yummy Gummy Search for Santa movie in 2012. The video was unofficially reuploaded on other channels.
A theatrical animated Gummibär movie by Stealth Media Group, Gummy Bear Films, Oscar Generale Productions, and Spice Factory was in production under the title Gummy Bear 3D: The Movie that would feature John Travolta as the voice of the titular character. It would’ve also featured Ella Bleu Travolta as Kala and Kelly Preston as Cupcake.https://www.theshiznit.co.uk/feature/the-7-saddest-details-on-the-imdb-page-for-john-travoltas-new-movie.php The film was never produced and two of the studios shut down in 2016 due to “misleading the public” with the budget.https://amp.theguardian.com/film/2016/oct/05/gummy-bears-3d-producers-shut-down-john-travolta
