Outcast Marbles

In a toy store, toy builder Gumby of Gumbasia is working on a project known only to himself when le lets the crane that he is working in get out of control. The crane picking up marbles (which he HAD planned to obtain after all). Stopping, and with LOTS of marbles on the floor, Gumby gets out, and slides on said marbles RIGHT toward a book titled "The Outcast Marbles." The book then tells Gumby the story of the marbles that went soft, turned different shapes courtesy of a different sound, but one could make them turn hard again. Seeing the two marbles, looking now like Hersey's candy kisses, some out of the book, Gumby tgries to push some toys off to try to restore the marbles to their solid hard shape. He gets what he wanted- by a case of odd serendiptity- a "Rube Goldberg" chain reaction of toys falling that creates, eventually, the proper sound and restores the marbles back to their normal size. He then puts the newly resurrected marbles back into the book.

Gumby, Pokey

Gumby and his pal Pokey and their claymation adventures.

He was once a little green glob of clay... GUMBY!

Made using a claymation stop-motion animation process called "Pixillation," which was also used for the Art Clokey series Davey and Goliath.

This was a 12-minute flick edited down into this and into "Odd Ball." Good use at (and, in "Odd Ball," a liberal use) of a later Hanna-Barbera sound effect, like a cat meowing when the marbles change shape.
