Production notes
Gumby and his pal Pokey and their claymation adventures.
A claymation stop-motion animation process called "Pixillation," which was also used for the Art Clokey series Davey and Goliath.
The first Gumby short, this appeared on Howdy Doody. It was the first of a trilogy of shorts recounting the adventures of Gumby (and his parents, Gumbo and Gumba) on the moon.
In 1955, Art Clokey, a teacher who had done Dinah Shore animation and a jazz video in clay called "Gumbasia," was approached by Art Engel of 20th Century-Fox to do a clay series. It turned up on Howdy Doody. This, of course, was Gumby. Pokey was added in 1956, as were the Blockheads. It continued as a 1957 series on NBC with Pinky Lee and Scotty McKee, and was syndicated sporadically afterward.
He was once a little green glob of clay... GUMBY!
