The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin is the immensely successful 65 x 22’ series that was part of the $7 billion retail property of the late 1980’s and 1990’s and one of TIME magazine’s top 100 properties of all time. The series features a young Teddy Ruxpin and his best friend, Grubby, who follow an ancient map that leads them to a collection of crystals on the mainland of Grundo. With the help of their new friend Dr. Newton Gimmick, Teddy and Grubby discover the magical powers of this ancestral treasure and uncover an opposing organization with nefarious ambitions of its own. All of the episodes have been remastered in vibrant HD.
“The beloved Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin is as relevant as ever to today’s kids – a fantasy world of adventure, humor and love,” commented Scott-Hansen. “Teddy Ruxpin developed a keen and loyal following in the late eighties and early nineties, and now Amazon Prime will deliver this beautifully remastered HD series to audiences everywhere to engage a whole new base of fans.”
