39:27, 41:56 Wow… Kinda bizarre seeing Gumby act so serious and sad (it’s just weird because we’re so used to seeing him when he’s such a happy carefree character and everything…) Love his usual self, but honestly it’s kinda cool how they experimented with him having a different side outside his own show, kinda like Cartoon Network City or something, but honestly though, characters being more real like this you barely get to see these days for cartoons, kinda wish they would do it like this again more often…. (It’s like SpongeBob showing anger when he’s usually super happy and carefree or Roger Rabbit being heartbroken crying when he’s usually a jokester being super happy making other people happy… This is similar to those, but honestly kinda cool to see a different side to him we never saw in the shows… :) 31:38 Gumby blushing though too! Aww! 🥰😊💖💖💖 Fun fact: Dallas didn’t voice Gumby for the segments (probably because of age), but some other guy named Stephen A. Buckley, REALLY hope they can get this guy to fill in his shoes as Gumby for a Gumby reboot, he’s probably THE closest to Dallas’ character as Gumby we’ll ever beable to get these days, (he’s really good!) everyone else I heard, yeah, they aren’t that good or even close…

I had no idea about Mr. Clokey's childhood being the way it was... I did not know that he came from a "broken home," so to speak... Sadly, his childhood situation is more or less "average" by 21st Century standards, but even in the 1980s (when I was a kid) divorce/single parents were not "abrormal," but this was still considered a "broken home," as it should be *-NOT* in a "shameful" sense, but in the sense that the nuclear family 👪 should be what a man and a woman plan when pro-creating... I realise that sometimes things happen, where it is best for the children for a toxic marriage to separate, which is why couples should *really, REALLY* think in the long-term before even *thinking* of having children. I imagine *-and this is just my personal speculation,* that Art created Gumby as a way to relive his childhood in an idealistic way... I might be 100% wrong, but even though I was blessed to have both parents in my life, and still married, until my beloved, kind-hearted father died in my late 30s, but I DID suffer some traumatic things as a child, that I won't get into... Anyhow, I can relate to wanting to "relive" those years in a more *positive* and happier way... If that makes sense?

(21:17) I guess at the time they could not find the original soundtrack version of that Gumby episode, so they had to use the '80s version with the re-dubbed music and voices. This was during a time when they insisted everything have the original audio (as many of the other old Gumby clips demonstrate.) Some of that new animation of Gumby and Pokey being interviewed looks a lot like it came straight out of the 1988 episodes. Now imagine new Gumby episodes in high-definition and that style... (They'll need to find good voices for Gumby and Pokey though!)

Dal McKennon is in the documentary being interviewed, but he didn't reprises his role as Gumby. Gumby was voiced by Stephen A. Buckley in this documentary. Buckley was involved in the late 80's Gumby cartoons and 1995's Gumby the Movie. Dal McKennon probably officially retired from voice acting during making the documentary. But Art Clokey did reprises his role as the voice of Pokey for the last time ever before his eventual death in 2010.

Ironic that Art Clokey who also created the Christian children's claymotion show, "Davey and Goliath" is a Zen Buddhist and into studying the other East Asian religions. It would be no surprise that Art Clokey prefers Gumby over Davey and Goliath especially because the Gumby cartoons pretty much tried to avoid anything to do with Christianity, in fact, pretty much any other religions, especially the religion he's in. Eddie Murphy did a parody version of Gumby who is Jewish in Saturday Night Live.

I was very disappointed with this documentary. It is too short, and it is badly edited and structured. We did not need to have "interviews" with Gumby and Pokey. We certainly did not need to hear Gumby commenting on Clokey's daughter's suicide. That was just creepy. And does anyone else think it's a bit odd that Clokey seems more regretful about his drug addiction in the 60's than he does about his daughter hanging herself?

+adamzanzie I think you are being really unnecessarily harsh. I never watched Gumby and am from the UK and only just learned about Gumby by finding and watching this video after someone told me about the character. I thought the documentary was really profound, inspiring and insightful into the creative process, into the character of Gumby and also about Art's life as Gumby's creator. I didn't really understand what was being refered to when they talked about Art's daughter's death. I only just understand now from the comments. As a documentary refering to a children's character I think it's fair to say that the documentary makers are being sensitive to what was obviously a difficult subject for Art when the documentary was made during his old age. I personally as someone who did a degree in fine art but also did animation and now I'm getting into animation, I found the whole documentary really inspiring thought-provoking and insightful at the same time. Thank you.
