Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Agreed! Only buy if you just want "an interpretation" of the classics!
I don't know who was responsible for this re-dub, but yes this is a total let-down WELL pointed out by others here! Instead of messing around with the classics for a new effect, why not try to edit some of the inconsistent storylines and put them together? Too and Loo, Moon Trip, Robot Rumpus, etc. That is what I always didn't get as a child why the same episodes all seemed to have storyline pieces all over the place!

My suggestion to appease? Maybe make a special feature available like many DVDs do and offer "Original soundtrack". If the original scores aren't that great any more THEN have the re-dubs offered!

I want my Gumby to have the funny girlish voice when I expect it and corny background music! You don't even have the robots making the right mechanical ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not the same Gumby we saw as kids. Dissapointing.
If you loved the original Gumby then don't buy this item. It will only break your heart. None of the original voices, music, or sound effects are used in this DVD. All the sound is re-recorded and has none of the charisma or excitement as the original sound I loved as a kid. I can still hear the original funky sound effects in my head, and when I heard the sound on this DVD, I was shocked and dissapointed that I had wasted my money. As far as I know, all the episodes are here and in good quality, however without the original sound it is not the Gumby I saw as a kid. DON'T BUY THIS ITEM.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Horrible soundtrack remake
It's ok... but the synthesizer track is a disgrace to Gumby fans. I don't understand why Rhino couldn't have used the original. It's very disappointing. THE ORIGINAL IS ALWAYS THE BEST. I would discourage Gumby fans from buying this release and to hunt down the older copies from Family Home Entertainment.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Hog Wash
The picture quality is fine. These are 40 year old analog recordings how perfect do you expect them to be. They music is great. Funky and retro. If they would have used the orginal sound tracks there would have been many complaints about the sound quality from the same people who thought they should be preserved. It would have been mono and scratchy.

Nice change from the stupid, over stimulating world of kids DVD's and videos.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - It's Gumby Darn it ![.]
Art Clokey was 33 years old , when he first crudely created the classic clay-mation character that would be embraced and loved by generations of children and then satirized by Eddie Murphy on Saturday Night Live and re-discovered by grown-ups and kids.

Get ready folks, it's a Gumby World all over again. Rhino has released a comprehensive 7 disc DVD Gumby set which collects all of the 130 original Gumby TV. show segments. The first short segments were shown on the Howdy Dowdy show in 1956. Then they became ten minute episodes and a weekly children's program in 1957. The show kept running until the late 1960's when it just seemed too low-tech and simple for modern audiences. Gumby was almost forgotten until David Sheffield and Barry Blaustein wrote a comedy sketch for Saturday ... Read More
