Casino Royale

It is like Batman Begins for James Bond. The popular 007 franchise gets a reboot with Daniel Craig (Layer Cake) as James Bond.
Casino Royale introduces James Bond before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to ‘00′ status. Bond’s first 007 mission takes him to Madagascar where he is to spy on a terrorist, Mollaka. Not everything goes to plan and Bond decides to investigate, independently of MI6, in order to track down the rest of the terrorist cell. Following a lead to the Bahamas, he encounters Dimitrios and his girlfriend, Solange.

Gummi Bears Volume one, Seasons 1-3

Forget that it is Disney. Forget that the show stars cutie creatures named Gummi Bears. This show had amazing fantasy elements and an unprecedented production value.
The Gummy Bears ran from 1985 all the way to 1991. Even popular 90’s cartoon like Spider-Man X-Men and Batman can not boast that.
Plot Synopsis: Long ago, there was a thriving civilization of small humanoid bears called Gummi Bears. Possessing powerful magic and advanced technology, this race coexisted with humans until the growing rivalry forced the Gummis to flee across the sea, leaving only a small caretaker colony to prepare for a possible return. However, generations passed and the colony forgot their purpose even as human knowledge of the race faded into mere legend. All that changes when the colony meets a boy with a Gummi Bear medallion which unlocks the Great Book of Gummi which reveals lost knowledge of their past. Now the colony has dedicated themselves to the new goal to rediscover their heritage with the help of a few trusted humans while preventing new enemies like Duke Igthorn from exploiting that heritage to their own ends.www.amazon.com
