Gumby Is Back To Say Hello In Full 3D
He's loyal, brave and always ready to extend himself to help a friend.
Gumby, the green elastic-limbed fellow with the lopsided head who
charmed a generation of children with his animated antics, is making a
career comeback at www.3dOnThe.Net
As a clay boy, Gumby could assume any shape, squashing flat as a paint
slick or splitting into a a handful of gum balls to escape - naturally -
a gumball machine. Children were enthralled as he and his friends
embarked on fantastic adventures, leaping through time and space to hook
up with fictional and historical characters.
According to his creator Art Clokey, "There's none of this wisecracking
and cynicism that you see in ... some other cartoons. He's supposed to
be a role model for kids. He cares about other people. He will be loyal
to his friends and respects his parents".
Gumby had his television debut in 1956 on the Howdy Doody show. He was
made using a technique called stop-motion, in which figures are filmed,
moved slightly and filmed again - a painstaking, but according to
Clokey, uniquely satisfying, process.
Animation has come a long way since stop-motion. The Gumby appearing on
our website demonstrates the capabilities of the new breed of
interactive and photo-realistic 3D technologies. So please come and
visit Gumby at our website. You can touch him and move him -- but please
don't squash him. He's our friend.
