Gumby: The Movie
Claymation is typically a family run business on account it takes generations to film 8 minutes.
In fact, it took animators 36 years to make this 90-minute stop-motion feature film.
Lead singer and guitarist Gumby, his equine friend Pokey, and they rest of their rock band The Clayboys hold a benefit concert for their farmer friends who are being evicted by Blockhead E-Z Loan for missed mortgage payments.
During the showcase, the Blockheads kidnap Gumby's dog and then replace Gumby and his band mates with robotic replicas that wreck havoc around town.
Released in 1995, forty-years after the clay character debuted on Howdy Doody, this anniversary feature film has the low budget, retro feel of the original shorts. While the mortgage crisis plotline is advanced for younger viewers, the madcap supporting cast keeps everything loosey goosey.
And remember: always put Gumby back in his container or he'll harden and fragment. Yellow Light
