The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin is a fantastic TV show that all ages can get enjoyment out of. The story is very well thought out and the characters are lovable. The story focuses on Teddy and Grubby as they try to get the 6 crystals. As they do this, Tweeg, a wimpy villain, and his bounder L.B, also try to get the crystals so they can become filthy rich. At the same time, they try to get into the M.A.V.O. (Monsters and villains organization). The show also has some very heartfelt moments, such as when Teddy returns home and when he reunites with his father, and when Tweeg reunites with his dad and goes surfing with him. The animation is very good for being made 30 years ago, and the backgrounds look stunning. The songs are also very good, and can be catchy and touching, such as the song "Freedom". Overall, I give this a 10/10. It's an amazing and engaging series that I can recommend to anyone.

A syndicated animated television series created in the good old USA by Ken Forsse, but actually posed in Canada, then animated, in-betweened and colored in Korea. The 65 episode series was produced in conjunction with the wildly popular Teddy Ruxpin franchise of toys, books and audiotapes marketed by Alchemy II and Worlds Of Wonder.Along the way, the "big three" (Teddy Ruxpin, Grubby the octopede and inventor Newton Gimmick) encounter Leota the woodsprite, Wooly Whatsit, Fobs, the Grunges, Illipers, Anythings, as well as bad dudes Jack W. Tweeg, Eleanor Tweeg (Tweeg's mom), L.B. Bounder, the gutangs, the mudblups, Quellor: the leader of the Monsters And Villains Organization (M.A.V.O.) and a host of others. Eclectic and very politically correct for its time. I believe this was one of the first cartoons that ever depicted a paraplegic character. One episode even depicted key characters "signing" to communicate to a hearing-impaired character.Teddy Ruxpin was the nicest, most wholesome character in 1980's television cartoons. The only harm he ever did was rough up a couple of gutangs. And then only so he could steal their costumes to infiltrate their braintrust.At times Teddy's adventures parallel that of Joseph Smith, the father of Mormonism. Particularly when his mother holds two cooking trays, one over another, to reveal a message meant just for him. Other than that, the show really doesn't preach any message, except for good old fashioned, sugar-coated American conformity.One of my favorite websites is "Jump The Shark" and Teddy Ruxpin REALLY jumps the shark as soon as Teddy and his archrival, Tweeg, start finding their long lost dads and trying to re-establishing ties with them again. This either indicated a subliminal lack of paternal presence in the lives of the scriptwriting team, or a dearth of good ideas for plot lines in the show's late going...While I never thought much of the show at the time, this cartoon seemed to develop a keen and loyal following in the late eighties and early nineties. Most of the kids who loved watching Teddy as four and five year-olds are the young adults forming our world of today.First National Pictures began marketing 2 volumes of the series onto DVD by February 2006. Exactly 3 years later, in February 2009, Mill Creek Entertainment released all 65 episodes onto DVD.

I can't believe that it is almost 20 years, since the Teddy Ruxpin idea first surfaced. The 1986-1987 TV cartoon series was what got me hooked on the phenomenon. It is sad that it lasted only one year and new episodes never came to be to continue the adventures of the Illiop and his friends. It is very sure that Quellor and MAVO would have continued their quest to stop Teddy from achieving the goal of getting the seven crystals back to the Hard-To-Find City. Also, I have to assume that Teddy's new quest was to find all the other Illiops in the world to unify against what could be "the world's ultimate evil." The ancient writings are the clue to my assumption.Anyway, in a remote sense, the show may return to the TV and, maybe, be made into DVD.

Wonderful Show for Children, The tale of Teddy, Grubby andGimmick who go on Exciting adventures to far away places.Grundo and the land Of Ying. With a Wide array of Characters. Sadly it was cancelled in 1988, after only a year of being broadcast, due to the stock market fall, that put Worlds Of Wonder Entertainment Out of business. Will always be affiliated with the 80's, and will live on in VHS tapes and re-runs for a long time.
