[edit] Opening sequence clip
Part of the 1960's Gumby theme song, along with part of the episode The Glob and an audio clip form Sad Kind Ott's Daughter, were shown on a television set at the beginning of the movie.
[edit] Plot
When the Blockheads' E-Z Loan company threatens to take away the farms belonging to the small farmers, Gumby and his band, the Clayboys, decide to have a benefit concert to save the farms. But when the Blockheads find out that Gumby's dog, Lowbelly, cries pearls when he sees the Clayboys perform, they decide to kidnap Lowbelly and force him to cry pearls. When he doesn't respond, they kidnap Gumby and the Clayboys and turn them into robot clones. With the help of Pokey, Prickle, Goo, Tara, Ginger, and Lucky Claybert, Gumby takes on his robot clone and is sitll in time for his video taping session. At a picnic, Gumby announces that he's opening his own farm loan company. The Blockheads are forced to weed Gumby's garden, and Gumby and Pokey decide that things are looking up for them.
[edit] Trivia
- This movie was not a hit in theaters, and so, the movie was released on video on December 15, 1995, by KidVision.[citation needed]
- In April 2007, a director's cut version of the movie was shown at the Tribeca Family Film Festival. This version of the film was released on DVD on April 22, 2008.
- The voice of Gumby is actually Dallas McKennon but sadly purposefully miscredited as the Voice Coach, as he is in the 80's Gumby TV Show.
[edit] Crazy credits
The opening credits are shown floating in space. When Art Clokey, the director's credit, is shown, The "o" and "k" dance.
During the end credits, clips from the 1988 Gumby series are shown.
At the end of the end credits, Pokey says his trademark catchphrase "HOLY TOLEDO!" for the fifth time in the movie.
Also, there is a dedication at the end of the credits reading, "Gumby 1 is dedicated to Sri Sathya Sai Babya, 'Love All, Serve All'."
[edit] Quotes
Goo [to Lucky Claybert]: I found a robot that made soup!
[After Pokey, Prickle, and Goo got fused together into a multi-character clay ball]
Pokey: I won't believe it. It can't be true!
Prickle: "To believe or not to believe?" That is the question.
Goo: You'd better start believing it 'cause I'm uncomfortable! Now everybody pull themselves together... I... I mean "apart".
Prickle: Impossible, Goo. Somebody call an ambulance.
Pokey: I wish Gumby would tell somebody where he goes.
Prickle: Oh, well, Goo, here we come!
Astronut #1: Maybe Gumby and Pokey went to the earth and into the toy shop?
Astronut #2: I don't know. Sometimes that wants to do that thing. Look!
Pokey: Gumby might think it was the same fat!
[Pokey lands on the Gumbasia Clay Set and Gumby as a green monolith flies to another location] Pokey: Nuts, I thought he wanted to land here.
Pokey (repeated line) : Holy Toledo!
Professor Kapp: Oh, my! This music does things to my brain!
Prickle: It does things to my spine.
Goo: It makes me feel funny all over!
Tara: (singing) Oh... Gumby Oh...
The day that I met you I lost a piece of my heart
Now I've got you here, nothing's going to keep us apart
I don't have to worry, I don't have to hurry now
You are all I need. I know we can make it somehow
We're making a breakthrough, heading for a fall
Gumby, how can I make you see me at all?
Take me away
Oh Gumby, you do something to my chemistry
Take me away
Oh Gumby, you are a total mystery
You're green, you're clay,
you're a cosmic display
How can I go on this way?
Oh, Gumby, Oh
Take me away
Trouble to the left, danger to the right;
I feel it all around
As long as you are near, there's no need to fear, and I won't back down
I know you're the answer to all of my dreams
Now that we're together,
birds of a feather,
we're the perfect team
Take me away
Oh Gumby, you do something to my chemistry
Take me away
Oh Gumby, you are a total mystery
You're green, you're clay, you're a cosmic display
How can I go on this way?
Oh, Gumby, Oh
Take me away
Oh, Gumby, Oh
Take me away
Oh, Gumby, Oh
Take me away...!
