Gumby is Returning

Gumby, the claymation legend, is officially returning in new TV shows and projects. Created by Art Clokey, Gumby and Pokey made a name for themselves through The Gumby Show, Gumby Adventures, Gumby: The Movie, and even a Game Boy Advance game.
Gumby has mostly been absent from pop culture for the past few decades. Eddie Murphy played Gumby on Saturday Night Live, which slightly revived interest for the character. Still, no major Gumby content has come out since the 90s, causing fans to wonder what happened. Now that time has passed, Gumby is officially diving into the reboot and revival saga with Fox Entertainment.

Even if they decide to make it CG, they could do what Worthikids did with "Dried Up Old Bones", which looks EXTREMELY close to your average Rankin-Bass movie, but was animated entirely in *Blender.* No joke. That's the amount of innovation we've made to this day, to be capable of replicating an endangered art form with the plague of 3D animation. God-tier

I first knew of Gumby from an old Avid Entertainment/f.h.e. tape I briefly watched when I was about 8 years old and occasional DVD releases. I don't remember seeing him on TV. Never saw the entire Gumby movie, but I remember watching Bob Sheaux's hilarious review of it on here many years ago, as well as the trailer for it at the beginning of a couple of 1995 KidVision tapes I used to have. Clokey Animations, which made Gumby, also produced Davy & Goliath, a religious-themed claymation series about a boy and his dog whose adventures are contextualized by Biblical lessons. The show infamously inspired the sacrilegious Adult Swim series Moral Oral. I used to watch D&G alot when I was about 4-11 years old.

I remember Gumby's 60th Anniversary back in 2015. Joe Clokey announced that he was working with Jim Henson Productions to create a new Gumby series. I was really excited, but then we heard nothing after that. Then Clokey died in 2018, so it looked like the show was out the window until now. I'm not as excited for this as I was back in 2015. I don't know how this will turn out without the Clokeys involved. In order to be a true Gumby series, it needs to be produced by the Clokey studio, which I don't think is around anymore, their last production being Davey and Goliath's Snowboard Christmas in 2004.

Another thing I can add to my "unexpected things that happened in 2022" list. I wonder if it will be like Pingu in the City where they used CGI that imitates clay-animation, or if they'll actually do clay animation.

@SlapstickGenius23 Жыл бұрын

Pingu In The City is actually pretty funny; it is a digital homage to the old claymation spirit, which has characters behave as if they’re in an anime show for preteen girls. As with most other instalments in the Pingu Franchise, it’s co-distributed in Japan by Sony Music Japan and Sony Creative Products.

I could also see Gumby as another Video Game with Gumby, Pokey, Prickle, Goo, and the Clay Boys as playable characters in a side-scroller similar to Super Mario Bros. It should have a open-world map to explore in a similar fashion to Legend Zelda or Lego Marvel Super Heroes by going to new books and driving new vehicles. And to create things and have a toy store as a hub. And I would like to see Gumby series aimed towards younger and older audiences.

Feel like everyone is both missing and that the video buried the lede there that Fox plans on doing LIVE-ACTION content with Gumby in addition to animated stuff. I don't think we really needed that and I am hesitant to believe that they won't just opt for CG for Gumby rather then stop motion, which kind of would remove the charm from it, really surprised that wasn't brought up more in the video. But hopefully someone pushing hte franchise will still want to produce something stop-motion made.

Also the voices: Really hope they find someone close to Dallas McKennon for Gumby, like that 2004 ad or something, Gumby in recent years…. Yeah… no one can exactly sound anything like his portrayal….
