The Adventures Of Teddy Ruxpin  

Article by jekky

Plot summaryThe Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin follows young Teddy Ruxpin as he leaves his home on the island of Rillonia with his best friend Grubby to follow an ancient map which leads him to find a collection of crystals on the mainland of Grundo. With the help of his new friend Newton Gimmick, Teddy and Grubby discover the magical powers of what turns out to be an ancestral treasure as well as an organization with ambitions to use it for evil. Along the way, Teddy learns the long-lost history of his species and clues to the location of his missing father. Characters SpeciesThe Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin features a large menagerie of sentient species for its character base:Illiops, brown and bear-like, with kind dispositions.Octopedes, orange and caterpillar-like with eight legs, each with fully-formed hands.Perlunes, humans, who usually are professional in nature (eg scientist, doctor, wizard).Illipers, near-relatives to humans but broad-faced with flat noses, who live in a medieval type society.Grunges, relatives of the illipers but jungle-dwellers with antennae in lieu of ears, who tend to be passionate about their hobbies.Fobs, small, furry, multicolored and penguin-like, sometimes kept as pets.Elves, tiny humanoids with pointy ears and shoes.Woodsprites, tiny humanoids with wings.Snowzos, large, white and yeti-like, who look more dangerous than they are.Bounders, red, round, two-legged and rhinoceros-like, usually sarcastic. Said by some viewers to resemble Goombas from Super Mario Brothers.Mudblups, large and lumpy animated blobs of mud, dull witted and slow moving but very strong. Sensitive to bright light, since all of their lives are spent underground.Trolls, green, thin, and with pointed noses, for them being good means being bad.Gutangs, green and monkey-like who wear brown tribal-like armor, usually belligerent. Main charactersThe three main protagonists, often referred to collectively in fandom as The Trio:Teddy Ruxpin, a young illiop whose father disappeared when he was a child. He comes to Grundo to follow a treasure map. Like other Illiops, he is kind and friendly. He loves adventure.Grubby, an octopede about Teddy's age. They are best friends. Noted for his large appetite, he is fond of cooking and eating root stew and other foods made from roots (which usually do not taste good to most people). Though not the bravest or smartest of Teddy's friends, he always sticks by Teddy.Newton Gimmick (usually referred to simply as Gimmick), a bald inventor with a slight stuttering problem and a broad and otherwise questionable definition of "science". He is also somewhat absent-minded.Their most recurring allies include the following:Prince Arin: The brave illiper son of the king and queen of Grundo. He lives at Grundo Castle and speaks with a British-sounding accent. He first met the trio while searching for his kidnapped sister.Princess Aruzia: Prince Arin's younger sister who has a sweet demeanor. Though a princess, she does not mind doing work. Wooly apparently has a crush on her.The Wooly Whatsit (usually referred to simply as Wooly): A large furry purple creature who is not very bright, but very helpful and good-hearted. Later revealed to be a snowzo.Leota: A strict but kind woodsprite and schoolteacher. Most of her students are elves and woodsprites, but Wooly joined the class as well.Burl Ruxpin: Teddy's long-lost father. An Illiop who lost his memory a long time ago, but regained his identity toward the end of the series.There are three main antagonists:Jack W. Tweeg (usually referred to as simply Tweeg), a troll/grunge hybrid and an evil wizard-wannabe who thinks he has a recipe to turn buttermilk into gold. He is very suspicious and often spies on Gimmick from his tower.L.B. (short for Lead Bounder), a sarcastic bounder who usually acts as Tweeg's henchman. L.B. does not show a particularly high degree of loyalty or intelligence, but has enough sense to know that Tweeg's schemes never work.Quellor, the Supreme Oppressor of the Monsters And Villains Organization (M.A.V.O.) which Tweeg desperately wants to join.

The Episodes OverviewAlthough the series is mostly serialized, it is further broken down into weekly story arcs which involve visiting a different part of Grundo or exploring a major plot thread.When the series was originally syndicated, each episode included a short segment called "Protect Yourself" which ran after a teaser for the next episode and prior to the credits. It featured an animated Teddy Ruxpin on a live-action set, who would introduce contemporary child stars such as Jason Bateman, Brice Beckham, Tiffany Brissette, Shannen Doherty and Corey Feldman. The guest would then give young viewers advice on topics such as avoiding strangers, what to do in an emergency, or how to respond to inappropriate touching.

Two additional volumes were to be released to complete the series but for unknown reasons they were never released.In January 2008, Mill Creek Entertainment acquired the rights to the series; they subsequently released all 65 episodes in three volume sets. On January 27, 2009, Mill Creek Entertainment released a 6-disc complete series box set featuring all 65 episodes on DVD for the very first time.DVD NameEp#Release DateThe Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin: Six Crystals20January 15, 2008The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin: Mysteries of Hard to Find City20May 6, 2008The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin: Return to Rillonia25July 22, 2008The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin: Come Dream With Me - Complete Series65January 27, 2009 Original ideaOriginally, AlchemyII Inc. had hoped to create a live-action series using animatronic characters, as Ken Forsse had helped Disney do with Welcome to Pooh Corner. However, due to production costs and difficulties in this format, Forsse, AlchemyII and Worlds of Wonder decided animation would be a better route and the 65 episode animated series was created. The pilot episode of what would have been the animatronic series was instead released as a stand-alone ABC Movie of the week in 1986 and can be found on videocassette. Also, they used the same voice actors from the book-and-tape series instead of Canadian voice talent like in the cartoon (and most DiC cartoons in the late 1980s and early 1990s). Impact in popular cultureThe Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin ( ), was one of the very first western cartoon shows to be seen by the population of Bulgaria in the late 1980s. The influence of this show can be seen in the text of the then modern post-punk band REVIEW ()and their song "Teddy Ruxpin"  ; also the very first underground music shop to open in the capital of Bulgaria, Sofia, was and is to this date called MAVO (), in reference to the antagonistic organization in the cartoon show.

Question by An Open Book: Help me, PLEASE!! I want to order checks with travel images in the background!?
Where can I order new checks online?

My question: Does anyone know a website where I can order checks with landmark images in the background, i.e. Big Ben, Petra, The Eiffel Tower, the London Bridge, etc. etc.?

I want to order a new box of checks and I want it to reflect my personality and hobbies.

I really love travel and one of my goals in life is to travel most of the countries in the world.

Disclaimer: I put this question in its appropriate section, but I also wanted to put it in travel because maybe my fellow travel-lovers have travel themed checkbooks.

Statue of Liberty, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Eiffel Tower, and Big Ben

Another alternative would be to use photos you've taken during your travels and create your own checks using a service like this one:
