- It was bound to happen, The Puppetoons meet Gumby in Arnold Leibovit’s 1987 tribute to director/animator George Pal. The film features 11 of the shorts Pal made between 1933 and 1948, some of the most charming animation ever produced - the essence of childhood fantasy. The classic shorts are supplemented by newly animated wraparound segments featuring Gumby, Pokey, Arnie the Dinosaur, the Pillsbury Doughboy, Speedy Alka-Seltzer, and a Gremlin or two! Art Clokey supplied the Gumby and Pokey figures and provided the voice of Pokey. Gumby animator Peter Kleinow animated the characters, Gene Warren Jr. directed the animation, and Leibovit produced the enterprise and directed the voice performances of Art Clokey, Dallas McKennon, Dick Beals, and Paul Frees.

I have this movie on DVD with some restored Puppetoons included. I can't wait for Volume 2!
That was fantastic! You packed in so much about Pal and his art/journey it was breath-taking. Congratulations!
I want a Puppetoons Movie Vol 2 and 3 on Bluray. I need more. Love this blu-ray.
Excellent! THANK YOU! II introduced these shorts from my childhood to my nephews and then on to THEIR kids!
The quality and attention to detail are superb. Both generations saw how demanding the work was, all being created MANUALLY (no CGI here, bringing a greater appreciation to the craft presented here).
Patiently awaiting your sequel. Thank you, again!
I've heard of this movie when I looking at images from 1995's "Gumby: The Movie", seeing the trailer here makes me interested in seeking out. This movie looks amazing.
Wow this looks great! I adore his live action movies. I had no idea he was such a pioneer in animation! Hope I can track it down. =)
Remember seeing them on TV in the early 60s!
We want Vol 2 Please!
I remembered seeing the film for the first time when I was at the Art Institute. It was a great showcase of some of Pal's best work in stop-motion animation. Not to mention, it was a surprise to find out that the grandfather of a good friend of mine was the voice of Gumby in the picture, Dallas McKennon.
TFH always makes you fall in love with movies all over again. This was wonderful.
This!
For those who have asked "The Puppetoon Movie" Volume 2 - which Joe Dante and I filmed a chat about - will be posted on "Trailers from Hell" shortly. Volume 2 has been in the works with restorations for almost 2 years. Here is the funder page: www.scifistation.com/puppetoon2.html Your contributions will be greatly appreciated. So far the set is shaping up to be fantastic if not mind boggling! It include subjects not seen in over 80 years and some never seen before which includes European subjects thought lost.The Big News is Paramount Pictures has at last granted permission to restore and release some of the most famous Puppetoons. All coming from their original 35mm Imbibition (IB) Technicolor 3-Strip Successive Exposure Negatives (SEN) or original 35mm IB Technicolor nitrate prints. Check it out. Much gratitude for your consideration and support! ~ Arnold Leibovit

Extraordinaire! Another breakthrough in artistic endeavor and without the computer!
Best Trailer From Hell to date!
volume 2!
Amazing
used to rent this VHS from the library a million times as a kid, lots of nightmares were had. the good old days, damn i feel old
My dad Dallas Mckennon did some of the voices for these. THis guy forgot the unsung hero
I have this and the Fantasy Film Worlds of George Pal on Blu-Ray. The first GP movie I ever saw as as kid was "Houdini" (probably a re-release) then as an 8 year old was "tom thumb", there after "The Time Machine" with our Aussie Rod, then "Atlantis", who could forget on the CINERAMA screen "THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM" (where's the SmileBox version???!!) followed by my favourite "7 Faces of Dr Lao". Then the great "THE POWER" and "Doc Savage"....yes, and the earlier films. I can even watch The Naked Jungle and War of the Worlds in widescreen 1.78 without losing head shots of actors (both films were actually designed for the early widescreen if a cinema was set up for it). Have all these wonderful films on either DVD or Blu-Ray. A significant part of my childhood which you can't even explain to children of today. But there are those of you who know what I mean......
George Pal was one of the greatest animators and directors that ever lived. I would put him on par with Walt Disney and Max Fleischer. Pal made two of the most amazing adaptations of H.G. Wells’ work in “The War of the Worlds” and “The Time Machine.” The latter one is a special favorite of mine. These films hold up even in modern times, and his Puppetoon films are nothing to sneeze at, neither. “Tulips Shall Always Grow” and “Tubby the Tuba” are masterpieces of all time. I wish more of my generation (1990’s) were more familiar with his work. They could still learn a lot from him, both as an artist and a gentleman.
magnificent! keep up the fine work
Fun movie😊
This guy got to worked with Paul frees He’s very lucky for that
there's going to be a Volume 2? cool!
Paul Frees' final film before his death.
Is there any footage of the cigarette commercial, or is it Lost Media?
"And when worlds collide, said George Pal to his bride / I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills... / Like a - science fiction...double feature..."
Arnie, any chance of "And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street" being on Volume 2? I have Volume 1 and love it!
"Mulberry Street" is being restored in 2K better than before and will appear along with wonderful new restorations of "500 Hats", "Date with Duke", "Rhythm in the Ranks", "Jasper and the Beanstalk", "Rhapsody in Wood", "The Sky Princess" on "The Puppetoon Movie Volume 3" plus some 20 jaw-dropping others!
I did not know that had been produced. I recall seeing the PUPPETOONS / 500 HATS OF BARTHOLOMEW CUBBINS as a small child. I'll searh for both!
Bug's Bunny is
A coolest character.
3:21 Pillsbury Doughboy?
