"The Rite Stuff" is the sixty-seventh episode of the animated series Adventures of the Gummi Bears which aired on February 22, 1991. This is originally the sixty-seventh, and last episode in the U.S. airing order, but not by means of international airing order, nor chronologically, as the last episode of the show is considered to be the "King Igthorn" two-parter.
Plot[]
Eager to meet the Barbics, Cavin accompanies the Gummies on a trip to Ursalia.
He is at first not welcomed by the Barbics, but soon gets the chance to prove himself in a manhood ritual which Buddy has to undergo in order to become a full member of his tribe.
However, a pair of satyr poachers are on the prowl looking for furs to line their purses—and the Gummies just so happen to be quite hairy.

Trivia[]
- This episode served as the series finale for U.S. airings only. Internationally, it was followed by the show's intended two-parter finale, "King Igthorn".
- In "King Igthorn", it is established that Cavin had already met and was acquainted with the Barbic Gummies (their first meeting being the topic of this episode). That fact alone places the two-parter after this episode, both logically and canonically.
- Zummi, Grammi, and Sunni Gummi do not appear in this episode.
- Animation production for the sixth and final season was distributed among several different studios. Responsible for this episode is Walt Disney Television Animation Australia.
