These episodes include a lot of audience interactions,\nwhich lets the audience contribute to Gumby\u2019s adventures. &nbsp;The characters include Gumby, Pokey, Prickle,\nGoo, the Blockheads, Professor Kapp, Dr. Zveegee, the Moon Boggles and Gumby\u2019s\nparents, Gumbo and Gumba. Also making an appearance are new characters &#8211; Gumby\u2019s\nsister Minga, Denali the Mastodon and Tilly\nthe chicken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite\npart is the fact that each episode is fully re-mastered from the original. How\niconic is this? I\u2019d say pretty cool! The animation is extremely creative with loveable\ncolor episodes. There are a variety of songs on this DVD, with various tempos\nand music types. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite\ncharacter is absolutely Gumby, because he\u2019s always positive and shares his\npositivity with others. I also love how he never gives up and works so well\nwith his team. He\u2019s dedicated to his friends and to the idea of friendship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/S80s_2-Bee-whole-group-A_adj-1024x692.jpg?resize=225%2C152&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4651\" width=\"225\" height=\"152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/S80s_2-Bee-whole-group-A_adj-1024x692.jpg?resize=300%2C203&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/S80s_2-Bee-whole-group-A_adj-1024x692.jpg?resize=768%2C519&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/S80s_2-Bee-whole-group-A_adj-1024x692.jpg?resize=1024%2C692&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I watched <em>The\nNew Adventures Of Gumby: The 1980s Series, Volume 1<\/em> previously and I very\nmuch enjoyed Gumby\u2019s many adventures with his friendly bud with yellow pricks\non his tail, named Prickle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are\nmultiple episodes on this DVD, which express multiple messages. If had to\nchoose the main message, I would say it is that \u201cteamwork makes the dream work.\u201d\nThat and \u201cdon\u2019t be afraid to ask for help.\u201d There is no bad language on this\nDVD or any unsafe actions that kids will try to imitate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give this film 3 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 3 to 7, as well as adults. It\u2019s a series that &nbsp;certainly will bring back memories if you grew up watching Gumby when you were younger. It\u2019s available now, so look for it.

He can walk into any book and once inside the book, he becomes part of it! Every time he gets knocked down he becomes flattened like a pancake. But he always gets back up and right back into shape again! Every episode is a new adventure and sometimes there is a lesson to go along with\u00a0it. Gumby can have the best time with his friends, or the worst time with the Blockheads, depending on the storyline and characters in the episode. Speaking of characters, the new friends we meet include Gumby\u2019s sister Minga, a mastodon named Denali and a chicken called Tilly! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/S80s_Prickles-Baby-Brudder-dragon-knight_adj-1024x664.jpg?resize=225%2C146&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4654\" width=\"225\" height=\"146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/S80s_Prickles-Baby-Brudder-dragon-knight_adj-1024x664.jpg?resize=300%2C195&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/S80s_Prickles-Baby-Brudder-dragon-knight_adj-1024x664.jpg?resize=768%2C498&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/S80s_Prickles-Baby-Brudder-dragon-knight_adj-1024x664.jpg?resize=1024%2C664&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme song is a fun tune sung by kids that will make you want to sing along with them. In every episode the music changes. In some episodes the music is creepy. In some it can be silly and bubbly. It all depends on the episode. Gumby originally debuted in 1956, was re-introduced in the 1970\u2019s and came out again, for a third time in the 1980\u2019s! The animation is unique because it is claymation. The creator and writer of the series, Mr. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0167029\/?ref_=ttfc_fc_wr1\">Art Clokey<\/a>, also voices Pokey the horse, Gumby\u2019s sidekick. Fun Fact, the bump on Gumby\u2019s head is based on a picture of Mr. Clokey\u2019s father from when he was a kid. In the picture, his hair is sticking up on one side creating a little bump. Mr. Clokey always thought this was funny, so he gave the same bump to his title character Gumby! Let\u2019s talk about some of the other supporting characters, shall we? Prickle is a cheerful dinosaur who goes on Gumby\u2019s adventures with him, the two mischievous Blockheads can\u2019t ever seem to get themselves out of trouble and Goo is a hilarious clay person with a bubbly personality.\u00a0<br> <br>The message of the story is to never grow up and that it\u2019s okay to let your brain wander and to always be creative.  I give this series 4 1\/2 out of 5 stars and recommended it for ages 3 to 8. It is available on DVD now. <br> <br> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New Adventures of Gumby: The 1980s Series Volume 2.
