Yes, I remembered the peaceful,happy easy-going sound I recognized as a child. This was the main reason I searched for this peticular episode. Loved Gumby as a youngster but enjoyed the music on this one.
So apparently, according to the "Gumby Imagined" book, this and "Train Trouble" were originally made in 1960, not 1957 like I thought. It kind of makes sense; the animation is a slight step up from the other 1957 episodes (especially when Gumby winks or blinks), and how they're both only four minutes long. Maybe Art Clokey did these two shorts as a test run to see how Gumby would work out in segments shorter than ten to eleven minutes? But in other ways, they still feel a lot like the other 50s episodes.
Yah, yah, I think so ... They did them back to back. I wonder if it was a time constraint/budget thing? I can ask Joe Clokey, Art's son, next time he's around the shop!
What is the name of the Hi-Q production cue that starts at 1:16? No one has posted that one on the "tube" as of yet. My all time fav cue-burned into my brain since I was born in 1958 and heard it a lot!
Ha. I was just about to comment on this clip of music. I suppose I should have guessed it wasn't something arranged specifically for Gumby. One wonders where else it might be heard, to hope for a better iteration, perhaps in stereo.
I agree. Was born the same year this came out (two years later). Phil Green or Bill Loose. I also heard it a lot, being born a few years after you!! one oif MYU all time favorites, too, and I don't know it,either! (Also TRAIN TROUBLE"s repeated cue..also Bill Loose or Philip Green more likely.)
love the music
M,too

And, of course, the date on Gumby's letter from the train company in TRAIN TROUBLE is 1960. (I have the Gumby Imagined book on Kindle.)
@@SteveCarras So these episodes were aired on April 8, 1960, and April 22, 1960 respectively.
@@danielslade9485 I woudl say SO!
@@SteveCarras Even the designs look a little different in those two episodes.
This is from 1960 along with “Train Trouble”.
Last Gumby episode from the 1950s.
no, this and train trouble were made in in early 1960, as the paper gumby gets with his train says "April, 1960"
So this and "Train Trouble" then were two separate shorts? :)

In a Fix is a No Dialogue Episode.

Imagine if the Winston Sharples pieces were used on Gumby lol! LIke on Felix the Cat, which, then, was still in new episodes! "HEY BOSS
What a weird episode!
James Austin I’ve seen weirder
This didn't make any sense to me.
