Princess Calla (or just Calla for short) is a character from Disney's 1985-91 television series Adventures of the Gummi Bears. She was voiced by Noelle North.
Background
Edit
Calla is the daughter of King Gregor, and is the princess of Dunwyn. Her mother is never mentioned but is widely presumed to be deceased.
Calla is a tomboyish 12 year old girl who dislikes having to be the "perfect princess" her father wants her to be. Instead of dealing with the pomp, she would much rather take part in governing the realm. She is friends with Cavin and it is hinted at times that she may possess more feelings for him.
Role in the series
Edit
Like many characters in the series, Calla initially believed that Gummi Bears were merely a fairy tale, though she often wished that they were real. In the episode "The Sinister Sculptor" she was given what were apparently statues of Gummi Bears. Unknown to her the sculptor had used magic dust that turned the real Gummi Bears into statues. The episode ended with Calla remaining unaware of the Gummi Bears' existence.
In the episode "A Gummi by Any Other Name", Calla finally meets the Gummi Bears after she and Sunni are kidnapped by Duke Igthorn. Following this episode, Calla is often seen having adventures with the Gummi Bears, often dragging Cavin along for the ride. She becomes best friends with Sunni, who dreams of being a princess.
Later on in the series, in the episode "Girls' Night Out", Calla secretly enters a competition, proposed by King Gregor, that is meant to determine who would become her protector. Donning a suit of armor as a disguise, she is eventually tasked with stealing a golden apple from the Black Knight. She is able to do so successfully, but when she learns that the Black Knight is none other than her father, she fears his reaction. However, Gregor is impressed by her abilities, and publically proclaims that it is apparent that she needs no protection.
Trivia
Edit
- Calla's formal dresses are similar to Snow White's dress.
