DVD Giveaway: "Gumby: The Movie"
Gumby: The Movie hits store shelves April 22, 2008. Released in theaters on Dec. 1, 1995, it’s based on the 1950’s claymation cartoon series, starring the malleable Gumby, Pokey the pony, Lowbelly the dog, and Gumby’s bandmates, the Clayboys.
When the band organizes a concert benefiting local farmers, Gumby’s archenemies, the Blockheads, plot to kidnap the townsfolk and replace them with robots!
Though the pace of this movie is probably too slow for most kids, it’s colorful, has a good message about helping others, and will probably keep little ones entertained. Also, a few scenes might be scary for youngsters: Lowbelly is dognapped by the Blockheads; Gumby is sliced into pieces (but puts himself back together), and the farm wives fall over in disbelief after getting their foreclosure notices out of the mailbox.
More after the jump, including the giveaway and movie trailer…
Written, directed and produced by Art and Gloria Clokey (who also voiced many of the parts), this movie is Rated G (the “Gumbified Director’s Cut”). Extras include deleted scenes and bonus episodes, and the DVD also comes with a fun little Gumby action figure.
THE GIVEAWAY: I have EIGHT DVDs of “Gumby: The Movie” to give away. To enter the contest, simply leave a comment on this post by midnight on Saturday, April 26, 2008. Be sure to include a valid email address. A winner will be drawn randomly. I’ll email the winner for their snail-mail address after the contest ends. Good luck!

I always loved the Gumby could put a cake in the oven and then open it up and it would be frosted with candles on it. Very cool.

Hello! My husband has been a fan of “Gumby’s” since he was young! Our family still gives him Gumby gifts. He likes Pokey, also! In his truck, a small Gumby figure hangs from his mirror. On Halloween, he wears his Gumby t-shirt and Gumby head. Please enter me in your drawing. You would make one grown man a happy camper. Thanks,Cindi
