Ogre for a Day is the forty-fourth episode in the Adventures of the Gummi Bears series. It premiered on November 4, 1989, and is the fifth episode of the fifth season.
Plot[]
Zummi discovers a transformation spell that does not work on Gummi Bears, but does for Cavin, who takes the guise of an Ogre and infiltrates the Ogre ranks of Castle Drekmore to uncover Duke Igthorn's latest plot.
But his new form makes communicating his good intentions to the right people difficult. This especially applies when a series of complications keeps him inadvertantly earning Duke Igthorn's favor, and thus impeding his real goals to the point where he laments, "Can't I do anything wrong?"
Meanwhile, the Gummies see his progress, or rather regression, and fear that the transformation spell is affecting Cavin's mind as they previously feared.

Goofs[]
- When Cavin drinks Gummiberry Juice near the end of the episode, he gains the ability to bounce (paired with the usual bouncing sound used for Gummies on the show). Canonically, only Gummi Bears gain this ability from drinking the potion, whereas humans only gain temporary superhuman strength. This is likely a writing error.
