VHS Movie Reviews of Gumby (Clam) [VHS]Movie Review: Gumby Class Act Summary: 5 StarsGreat movie quality picture and most entertaining movie. Shipping was fast and nicely packed. Thank you *****
Movie Review: Great to see it again, though I wish it was the original version. Summary: 5 StarsIt's great to see "Gumby: The Movie" finally released on DVD. This director's cut doesn't appear to have any new scenes. Instead, several scenes have been edited out (though they are still available as extras). Some of these edits actually remove minor plot points, so I wish they would have just released the original version.
Also, watch out for that Gumby figure that comes in the package. Mine was starting to 'melt' and there was some oily plastic inside the case. I ended up just throwing the figure away.
Overall I prefer the original movie, but I'm glad to have this on DVD regardless. Bring on the next Gumby movie in 2010!
Movie Review: Gumby: Director's cut was better Summary: 4 StarsI bought this DVD as a little treat for my birthday. I was unsure about what the director's cut would do to this movie and, despite not seeing it for a while, I knew what was going to be in it.
For the most part, the Director's Cut was a an improvement over the original. Art Clokey and the editor that helped him knew what to cut and how to do it without calling attention to itself. There were a few cuts that felt abrupt and, knowing what was supposed to come next made it obvious for me what was cut. Also, a few continuity bloopers came about due to the cutting. However, these new bloopers are not more noticable than the bloopers that were present. Most importantly, this new cut gets rid of scenes that, quite frankely, just bogged the film down and were never needed. This film works without the cut scenes and is more enjoyable than the first cut, which I enjoyed very much as well. My only big complaint was that it cut out No Buckle's (the yellow Clayboy with white hair) first big scene and he doesn't get a line until the middle of the film. For the most part, however, this film rocked (and to be fair, most fans of Gumby are tuning in for Gumby, Goo, Pokey, and Prickle, not the new characters).
If you're reading this and sweating that you're favorite scenes were cut, never fear, because they are all included in a deleted scenes section. Between the movie and the deleted scenes section, the first cut is included on the DVD. There's an added treat, as a scene that was never a scene in the movie is included (it's a scene with Minga and Gumba, right before Gumby is seen cleaning the fire truck).
The greatest special feature are the four Gumby episodes. It includes one from the 50s and three 80s ones. They're were all enjoyable, and two of the 80s ones included Denali the mastadon and Tilly the Chicken. Very good episodes.
If you're a Gumby fan, you'll want this DVD. I absolutly love this movie and this DVD is a great tribute to Gumby. Buy it.
I almost forgot...it includes a little Gumby toy. How much better can it get? (That was rhetorical, don't answer that :) ).
Movie Review: A fantastic movie for kid's of all ages! Summary: 5 StarsI was lucky enough to see Gumby the Movie in the theater when it was released. I liked it so much I saw it three times! This is a wonderful film for parents to share with their children. Gumby does not try to be "edgy" or include adult humor meant to fly over kid's heads and make their parents laugh. It is a sincere, non-cynical story with great imagination and a clear sense of what is right and what it wrong. It is also very cute! You will get to meet Gumby's dog named Lowbelly. Lowbelly's belly is so low to the ground he rolls around on a skateboard! You also meet Gumby's bandmates Fatbuckle, Thinbuckle, and No Buckle. This movie will put a smile on your face and a song in your heart. If you are an adult, it will make you feel young again. If you are a kid, this will be the movie that makes you fall in love with Gumby and his friends. With so much entertainment aimed at children that is not really appropriate for them out there now, it is great to have a movie like this. You can feel safe showing it to your kids and you will also enjoy it yourself.
Movie Review: A Surrealist's Masterpiece!!! Summary: 5 StarsSincerely-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.
