cheap, cute, gumby. I bought this as a birthday present for my brother (13). We both thought it was a fun way to watch the gumby we remembered from when we were little. It only has 10 episodes but its cheaper than buying the boxed set so its nice for a quick dose of gumby.

This movie was very cute and pretty entertaining for the price. Delivery was fast.

How could GoodTimes get away with this?.......2006-06-23

I don't have this DVD, but a decade ago, I bought the exact same program on VHS. I assume that this is identical to my VHS version. There are a few things that one should be aware of.

Yes, this compilation does use shorts with their original audio intact. But, I question just how legal this compilation really is. Since the back cover says, "Not authorized with Clokey Productions or any other entity" should indicate that GoodTimes illegally released this program.

Aside from that, is anyone aware of the fact that a few of these shorts are edited. Knowing that this was originally a VHS release, it makes sense that there is a certain time-frame that couldn't be exceeded. To be more specific, "Gumby Crosses the Delaware" is edited quite a bit. The uncut version runs a couple minutes longer than most Gumby shorts, so this episode was shortened quite a bit, but at least keeps in enough so the story makes sense. Aside from that, in the short "Baker's Tour" the scene in the rolling pin room has been shortened.

Lastly, I know for a fact that GoodTimes got these prints from 1980's Gumby VHS releases from Family Home Entertainment. As a matter of fact, I own an FHE Gumby release that contains 7 of the 10 shorts on this compilation.

My suggestion to all Gumby fans out there. Don't wast $6 on this edited collection of shorts illegally put together. Instead, hunt down those old VHS releases by FHE. But, if you must have Gumby on DVD, pay a visit to the Dollar Store. There are a few Gumby shorts that have fallen into the public domain, and I have seen a few Gumby collections show up at Dollar Stores.

He's Blowing My Mind!.......2005-04-21

I sat there, my face covered with a dry-caked crimson mask, listening to the seer they called "El Jacques Dinamita," astounded by his commentary of the wanderer known as Gumby, a green Dali-esque Paul Bunyon of sorts, who was accompanied by an orange mare named Pokey. I was absolutely astounded, and begged him "Don't blow my mind," but he wouldn't relent, telling of Pokey's gallop through the woods, climaxing with the two friends having a picnic! I was flabbergasted, and exclaimed "You are blowing my mind!"

I had to portal into the age of the DVD to further my knowledge of this philosophical presence. My friend Finley (who used to draw Donald Duck's legs) picked up this DVD, and we watched it over a spaghetti dinner and wine. I sat there, my jaw slack, astounded that, just when I thought I could never attain a deeper state of surrealistic truth, here is a young man who can slide for miles on one foot, penetrate a book, and has a Yogic compassion for his four footed friends; while the orange mare could ease Gumby's strain by giving him a ride, Gumby insists on walking side by side with Pokey, in the truest spirit of Albert Camus.

Finley was floored by Gumby's odyssey, yet he was scared when these Storm-Troopers called "The Blockheads" tried to enforce a police state on our noble protagonists. Finley said with great trepidation "What's Gumby gonna do?" and I put him at ease by bellowing "He'll sick his Mother's Posse (on them)!" And by Golly, Gumby stayed greener than broccoli, his stoic horse by his side, reversing any Quixotic pretensions. Rest easy, my child, for Gumby and Pokey love you!

Not a bad package for the price.......2005-02-23

Ok, so there are some problems with the quality of this 2 DVD set: first, the manufacturer superimposes a logo at the bottom right corner of the screen (as noted by another reviewer), although it's really not that noticeable when watching the shows. Second, the picture transfer isn't great, but isn't bad, either. Third, one episode runs right into another (without the title sequence between episodes -- this is probably my biggest complaint). And fourth, the last episode on the Christmas disc is about Gumby's birthday, and not Christmas-themed. But on the plus side, you get the original soundtrack (I have been very satisfied with the many Rhino products I own, but I don't know what they were thinking on their Gumby releases), and you can't beat the price of this DVD set.
