I am thoroughly ecstatic with this collection, although it almost seems like a teaser.
This is a major taste of what the essence of the “GUMBY” series is all about. In this collection, you will accumulate episodes in which Gumby, our well-liked shrimp clay boy, gets toy robots to do his chores for him until they slay up going on a rampage and destroying the Gumbau home, another in which Gumby learns how to bake from mounds of dough in various stages, in and out of the oven, and mild another in which Gumby and Pokey enter a streak urge that is speed like the ultimate board game. The space spans the many decades that the character was a TV well-liked, even capping off with three episodes from the last incarnation of the 1980’s.

My one wish is that we derive longer sets with any proposed second or third volume. If this is merely an introduction (and, judging from the title, it is), then I can net it as thus and only hope that we eye a lot of my other favorites, including the dependable introduction to the character and his trips into outer station and Mirrorland (to glance for his lost allowance) and so many trips into books to meet historical figures and…well…unbiased being a kid. What I’ve always liked about the series is captured in the first three shorts that seem to follow the microscopic clay boy around as he fair uses his fertile imagination to solve even the most elementary problems.
Each of these episodes has its current soundtrack, the thing we were so hoping for with that massive, well-intentioned location from Rhino. What Rhino space out to do was splendid, but it didn’t want to go through the correct battles to fetch the rights to the novel tracks. Art Clokey has apparently succeeded in doing this, now, so let’s hope that this is only the first of many, many sets until each and every portion of film that features the itsy-bitsy clay boy adventurer and sportsman and kid scientist is indeed fully restored and on our home video shelves to devour again and again and never, ever grow tired of. This is the one gracious part of kid-vid that I can level-headed appreciate as an adult, and it never looked or sounded better!!
The longer, two-chapter episodes are neatly fused into one plump episode, and that’s okay, because we have the best of both chapters. It is that early period of the series, from the unhurried 1950’s that I like so powerful. Each episode that is included here is placed in its modern production order. This isn’t complete, but it gives its audience a nice impression of unbiased why the character lasted for so many years.
Please bring us so noteworthy more!
This is a really immense DVD and well worth $10. As mentioned, this contains the recent version of the episodes (new soundtrack and the 1950’s episodes are in their recent length) .
There are also some nice extras for the DVD. It includes some of the bumpers seen on TV, the music video “Gumbasia,” and the pilot episode “Gumby on the Moon”.
My only complaint is the packaging. It is not the typical clamshell case most DVDs near in, but rather it’s more like a thick paper booklet (which unfortunately can’t be locked shut, though it does lay flat) . I’ve read where Joe Clokey, son of Gumby creator Art Clokey, has said this was done to be more environmentally first-rate. This could also be a cost cutting measure. Either arrangement, it’s a very minor complaint.
This is the first of what is hopefully many Gumby DVDs to be released by Classic Media. On April 22, 2008, the Gumby Movie (Director’s Slit) will be released on DVD for the first time.
