Gumby's Best Episodes (The Original Adventure Series)

A good compilation that could have been great.
Considering this comes from Legend Films, a company that specializes in colorization and restoration, this collection of Gumby and Pokey shorts comes across as a missed opportunity. The colors are flat, especially when compared to the shorts found on Classic Media's DVD of GUMBY ESSENTIALS. And the shorts are somewhat incomplete, with all their "The End" cards removed and their openings abbreviated. That being said, however, the selection of shorts here are a nice slice of nostalgia from Gumby's original run. Had it not been for the issues of color and completeness, I would have easily given this a four or five star review. (Although I listed it as three, had it been possible I would have given it a 3.5 rating...at the moment, however, Amazon doesn't allow for fractions.) If you just want a nice-priced compilation of vintage animation, you'll certainly get your money's worth from this DVD. If you're a serious Gumby fan, however, you'll probably be more satisfied with GUMBY...

Gumby
My 2 year old grandson adores Gumby.. Don't really know just why.. BUT this mamaw made her grandson happy for sure..

Glad I found it!
I like to buy Retro presents for the grandkids. Found the rubber characters at Fry's and wanted a DVD for the kids. Haven't seen it yet but glad I could locate one at a great price.
