It's actually really cool to see the progression of the quality of the animation. They try more sophisticated shots and clearly put more thought into modeling trickery even after only a few episodes.
I learned about this show cause my boyfriend grew up watching it, and It's an amazing show :) It makes me smile, I luv Gumby now :) Thanks for uploading it!
I recall the VHS tapes and DVDs we had being cut a LOT. For example, this episode ended right at the @5:55 mark and faded to black. I wonder why so much content was cut?
It's a long story, but hopefully, you'll understand what I'm saying here: Back in 1959, when Gumby entered syndication after his run on NBC ended in 1957, they cut the 50's episodes, which were originally 10 minutes, down to 5 minutes so they could fit into timeslots, so they were aired as 2 separate 5 minute segments, with one containing the original title and the other containing a different one; like for this one, the two titles for the 5 minute split ups were, "Toying Around" [The title of the 11 minute original] and "Toy Capers", each containing 5 minutes of the episode. Those are the versions which were rerun on TV from the 60's up until the 00's, and released on VHS in the 80's, since the original unedited versions from 1956 and 57 are more than likely lost to time. The restorations from 2005-06 and 2013 sought to bring the 50's episodes back to their original 11 minute length, and the syndicated soundtracks were used, because those are the closest we have to the original audio, even if the first-run versions might have differed a little in how the audio was edited.
@@WillCWilson, yep, and I remember originally growing up with those 5-minute split-ups, but was really fascinated by how Goodtimes's "Christmas with Gumby" VHS attempted to re-combine "Toy Crazy" and "Toy Joy" back into its' original ten-minute form (albeit edited for time and to remove all birthday references), and so that got me a bit more interested in seeing the 1950s Gumby shorts presented like that. Sure enough when Premavision began restoring the 1950s Gumby episodes, I found them a lot more convenient to watch in the 10-minute format.

One of the reasons I loved this cartoon so much when I was a kid was because of all the old toys used in each episode.
I love how as the seasons go on you see the improvement of the claymation.
I loved watching Gumby when I was growing up. This was probably my favorite episode they made.

First time watching, bring back alot of memoirs, Of "better times", life goes on. I bid you Peace.
I spent the last hour looking for this exact episode and I’m so happy I found it
Always liked how Pokey sounds like a real horse every time he gets scared/excited or whatever.
Remembering all of these toys as a kid !!
Such a fun episode from the first season way back in 1956 when I was about to turn two!
Brings back memories😊

nice place to binge-listren to Phil Green (EMI Photplay/John Seely stock music) cues here.
I've been trying to find this one. Thanks for uploading.

Love watching Gumby.
I love this so much
I prefer the Gumby episodes pre 1967
My personal least favorite episodes of Gumby are the 80's ones and the movie.
5:13 fire
Gumby
Can somebody tell me how big the Gumby and Pokey models are?
Today Gumby and Pokey would spend the day just looking at their iPhones.
ok if you were in a world with all these vehicles at your disposal, I highly doubt you would look at your phone all day
They’re so silly
Nice Marx crossing gate at 3:04
Pretty sure you also see it in the episode where Pokey is introduced, with his foot stuck in the switch.
@@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory Yep, you do. I also saw it in "Gumby Business."
@@ZakWolf neat
It's kinda weird to hear Pokey neigh.
Wonder if Stephen King got his idea from that car scene
Poor Pokey
Even Mr Bill is annoyed #ohnoooo
Imagine watching this while high lol
LEGOS I LOVE LEGOS
