Gummybear International Inc. is celebrating two decades of Gummibär, the animated character whose 2006 viral hit “I’m a Gummy Bear” made it one of the earliest breakout successes on the internet, with the company now eyeing a feature film for 2027 in partnership with Toonz Media Group.

Created by Christian Schneider, the character launched via a ringtone and music video that rapidly accumulated billions of views and was adapted into upwards of 45 languages. A run of follow-up singles and albums earned Gummibär Gold and Platinum certifications across multiple markets.
