Customer Reviews of Gumby - 7 Disc Boxed Set
What a disaster! Who in their right mind would release a classic like Gumby with all of the 80's stupid/silly sounding music! We want "Gumby" how Gumby was! Since I spent my almost 100.00, the box set has been sitting on a shelf in my garage! I was so upset, and felt I was taken advantage of. If they had put, "Sound not original", somewhere on the box, I would not have purchased it, nor many others.
Sigh...
Great Value
Here it is! All the Gumby episodes packed into one collection. It is great to be able to watch all the episodes of Gumby, and they are even in chronological order. However, the set could have been put together way better. It receives four stars because it is a Gumby box set, the first time all the episodes were put together like this. Here are some notes on the features of the set:
The Soundtrack: This is a partially annoying part of the set. They used the synth track made in the 80s for the episodes. I have many VHS sets made by F.H.E. and they used the original soundtracks. So, its not as if the original sound was lost or anything like that. However, Gumby's voice is done by the same person and the rest of the voices are done well enough.
Episodes: I hate the way the episodes are cut up into different parts. The original 22 episodes were 12 minutes in lenght and then cut up to make 44 6 minute episoeds. This is not done by Rhino, but was done by the studio way back when. I have no idea why they did it, but it is annoying.
Packaging: The DVDs do fold out in an awkward way. I like it though because it is different and makes it unique. The set also comes with a Gumby figurine.
Special Features: There are several of Clokey's original clay featuers that are cool to watch. The interview with Clokey himself, however, is very boring. The interview with the voice of Gumby is better. It almost seems as though the voice of
Gumby likes the series more than the one who created it.
Bad points: The menus and navigation in the set is very annoying. The Rhino introduction is retarded. Between each episode there is an introduction to the next one. The intros are repetetive and really stupid. I don't like the new gumby song that plays during the menus. I hate the children singing it. The navigation is so overly childish that I think even children would be annoyed by it.
Overall Value: The value of having all these gumby episodes availible in this way makes this set worth everything. The packaging and presentation could have been way better and I have no idea why they chose to go with the soundtrack that they went with. Maybe they thought modern children would enjoy it more. Who knows?
IF YOU WATCHED GUMBY IN THE 80s+ YOUL LOVE IT
All these other reviews down this dvd so much, i grew up with gumby in the late 80s early 90s and i cant notice a difference in music or voice quality, which is what everyones complaining about, i do notice in the early episodes, there voices are different, but thats obviosly how they started out. This dvd is true to the era of gumby in the 80s. This is the best box set i have ever owned, and will be treasured for ever. I reccommend not thinking twice about buying it, think once and think yes. This is a classic to show the kids, and they will love it as much as you did. This is a great buy, and i give it 5 stars.
