Great Gumby vehicle that your kids will love

This is a clever Gumby movie, created in the mid 1990s, with lots of interesting characters. It has somewhat of a low budget feel to it, and not as sophisticated as the claymation of Nick Parks's Wallace & Gromit or Chicken Run. The music soundtrack is largely a one-man synthesizer, with the exception of the rock songs played by Gumby and the Clayboys, which are slick. The audio mixing is a little annoying since the sound engineer pumped the character voices through a cheesy digital effect, thus making the characters sound like they're talking into a tin can. Nevertheless, the movie plot holds up well and, most importantly, my kids love it and use the story line as a springboard for imaginary play. My copy of the video had a small Gumby action figure included under the shrink wrap.

Gumby's big-time adventure!

I just watched the Gumby movie again, and I can say that it holds up extremely well if you're a 80's Gumby fan.

This full-length movie tells the story of Gumby's attempt to create a music video with his new metal band 'The Clayboys'. This probably sounds familiar since Gumby already created videos on the 80s show with his old synth band 'The Gumbys'. I guess Gumby is obsessed with MTV.

This movie introduces us to several new characters. There are 'The Clayboys' themselves: Fatbuckle, Thinbuckle, and Nobuckle. Then there are the band's groupies, Tara and Ginger. And finally, there is the band's canine mascot Lowbelly. The Blockheads discover a special secret about Lowbelly, and they devise a scheme to use the dog to become super rich. Of course, this brings them into conflict with Gumby and his many pals.

Almost all the main characters from the 80s show are represented in this movie, with Pokey, Prickle, and Goo playing large roles. Even the Groobee has a scene! Denali the mammoth is the only notable absence.

There are lots of side stories scattered throughout the movie. Several of them have a science fiction theme, with references to 2001, the Terminator, and Star Wars. There are some funny moments as well, especially the scene with the overturned wheelbarrow. And surprisingly, there's even be a hint of romance towards the end!

This movie came out on VHS back in 1995, and we haven't seen any new Gumby adventures since (other than the short animation for the Rhino DVD menus). Hopefully he'll be back with more adventures soon. But at the very least, somebody release this movie on DVD!

A Surrealist's Masterpiece!!!

Sincerely-this is a surreal beautiful story that David Lynch would show his children.
Gumby's dog cries whenever Gumby plays with his band.
Gumby's dog does not cry tears-he cries real pearls!!
Movies like this don't come along very often and we need to celebrate this auture's brilliance!!
Thank you Mr. Clokey.

Gumby never grows old

Gumby is a great choice for children... My 3 year old niece wants "MORE GUMBY".

Gumby Returns!

I am probably the biggest Gumby fan alive. I was a member (proudly) of The Gumby Fan Club back in the mid 80's when Gumby was on Channel 5 and 9. He disapeared for a long time. I was in college when I saw that "Gumby:The Movie" was playing, and was sorry that I couldn't see it on the big screen.I didn't rent it- I bought it ASAP! Great for kids, and die hard fans, but too long and it doesn't know when to quit. Still it's hard not to love Gumby.Magical, as Gumby enters the story books and meets adventure at everyturn. You'll see scenes re-created by Gumby and Pokey from "Star Wars", and "Terminator". Why this didn't come out in the 80's when Gumby was riding high, is a mystery. Still, I'm glad Gumby finally made it to the big screen. Not for everybody's taste.
