Me too, the 80s VHS version also had a handful of shortened episodes, including this one. I had no idea this full version existed until today (36 years later).
In the early 1960s, "The Black Knight" was split into two 6-minute shorts, one retaining its' original title, and the other renamed "Mysterious Fires." That part was often released on public domain "Gumby" DVDs.
They tried to make him look like a human messenger, but somehow ended up making him look like an anthropomorphic pig. The human models in the 1956 episodes were far more crude and primitive.
@@ZakWolf Yeah, I know. I've seen those episodes lots of times. I too agree that those early humans in the early episodes didn't always look the best. Don't get me wrong, I like the handmade, homemade look of the early stuff, it is very charming in it's simplicity, but still, sometimes they don't look very good. And that was one of those times. *Edit: I'm not mad or annoyed, don't read this as that*

Yep; "Spongebob" has used a few Capitol Hi-Q stock music cues. So has "Ren and Stimpy", six Looney Tunes cartoons from 1958, and the really early Hanna-Barbera stuff. I remember the music cue at 2:12 playing at the start of several "Huckleberry Hound" cartoons.
I only saw a shortened version of this on DVD, and watching the full episode here makes full sense why the king pardoned the dragon.
Andy-Roo B me too

I love that when the characters do some actions, it's filmed in real time with no stop motion used (like when Gumby turns on the water hose)
When Gumby demonstrates the water hose for the good knight, the Capitol stock music playing underneath fits pretty well, too.
How I only very vaguely remember this cartoon from when I was a kid and watching it on my TV in my Downstairs old Familyroom.
"Fire!! fiiiiirre!! The wheat, are burning!!" That guy is funny when he's making eradic movements and talkin' in the distance.😂
3:20-3:25
The dragon is so cute!
The theme of a food shortage seems to be present (and common) in every incarnation of Gumby.
Love the very early gumby episodes Classic
My reaction when a whole family was crying 2:36
Wow! I never knew what I was missing on that DVD from WalMart.
Same here! I think the black knight was totally edited out.

Erector sets were a great learning tool for me.
I wish pokey was in this more love it!😂
I can imagine the knight trying to make Pokey pull the fire “wagon” before Gumby shows him that it moves in its own.
Best. Gumby. Episode. Ever.
This episode frightened me as a child. I had it on tape, and I had to tape over the part where the guy goes "HERE YE, HERE YE"!
Toss a coin for the Witcher, O Gumby of Plenty.
I had this episode on a dvd and it was in black and white. It was a lot more creepy in black and white lol.
the original red eyed Gumby is the Best Gumby!
I love Gumby
Since it's clay the animation still holds up today very watchable!
CGI does it too! 😉
it's been 10+ years since I saw this episode
Facts
Dark Souls In 1950's
That poor knight never got a break from that castle gate lol.
Plus the Black Knight's laugh sounds like Jack from Tekken on PS1
The first thing I thought of when I saw that black knight was “NONE SHALL PASS!"
i cant help but laugh at 8:04
Love gumby😊
The black knights laugh is one of the best things I've ever seen/heard.

This is the FULL version..now I know where the "Mysterious Fires" parts originally were! I wonder if the Clokey family runs this..
+Steve Carras I am pretty sure they do. I know Joe Clokey has been supervising the restorations
Thanks.,.

@@WillCWilson Oh yes; the 1950s Gumby episodes are my favorites, as there's quite the charm to their primitiveness.
It's when Gumby got bigger eyes and a bidimensional mouth that the humans started to look good
@@Mattcai2004 That was because the puppets were often reused from Davey & Goliath.
There was a video that used the gumby intro. It was a game grumps animated.
Didn't this episode have a different first scene?
The dvd version cut some scenes

2.59 s1 episode s 4 5 and 6 didn't exactly look the best
whos watching this in 2014?
Gumby episodes are so cheap 😕😖
Virginia Journey, this is actually very hard to make /animate this by using a stop motion. Plus, this was made in 1956.
No there original from 1995
foxy 101s this is too old to be from the 90s, the music, the toys and figures are from the 50s
@@Razerin the Gumby movie is from 1995, the series proper started in 1955, with an unaired pilot.
