1988
1 Season

The new Adventures of Gumby: The 1980s is a stop-motion animated television series that first aired in 1988. Produced by Premavision, Inc, this show is a sequel to the original Gumby series which first aired in the 1950s. The show follows the adventures of Gumby, a magical clay boy, and his sidekick, Pokey, a talking pony, as they go on exciting adventures and meet new friends.

One of the most recognizable aspects of The New Adventures of Gumby is its unique stop-motion animation style. The show is created using a technique called clay animation, where characters are sculpted from clay and then shot frame by frame to create the illusion of movement. The show's creator, Art Clokey, was a pioneer in this style of animation and it gives the show a distinct and charming look that separates it from other animated shows of its time.

The show features a cast of colorful characters, including Gumby's family members, his pet dog Nopey, and his friends Goo and Prickle. Dal McKennon voices the character of Gumby, and his performance brings a sense of warmth and playful curiosity to the character. Along with his energetic and loyal sidekick Pokey (voiced by Art Clokey himself), Gumby sets out on a series of adventures, from traveling back in time to save a princess to exploring outer space and visiting the Land of Ice Cream.

Each episode of The New Adventures of Gumby is a new self-contained adventure, with unique challenges and obstacles for Gumby and his friends to overcome. The show is full of creativity and imagination, with a focus on problem-solving and teamwork. Many of the episodes deal with important themes such as friendship, family, and perseverance, making it a great show for kids and parents alike.

The show's music is also worth mentioning. The theme song, "Gumby, Gumby, He's Here!" is catchy and memorable, and the show's score is filled with cheerful melodies that perfectly capture the playful tone of the show.

Another aspect of the show that makes it stand out is its use of educational content. Each episode features a segment called "Gumby's World," where Gumby and his friends learn about a different subject, such as science, history or geography. These segments are fun and informative, making them a great addition to the show for younger audiences.

Despite being over 30 years old, The New Adventures of Gumby is still beloved by fans of all ages. Its stop-motion animation style, lovable characters, and creative storytelling have made it a classic of childrenâs television. And with the recent resurgence of interest in stop-motion animation, thanks in part to shows like Robot Chicken and movies like The Nightmare Before Christmas, it's likely that Gumby and his pals will continue to be part of our popular culture for many years to come.

In conclusion, The New Adventures of Gumby: The 1980s is a charming and entertaining show that has stood the test of time. Its unique animation style, lovable characters, and focus on creativity and problem-solving make it a classic of childrenâs television. Fans of all ages will enjoy following Gumby and his friends on their many adventures, and learning something new in the process.
