Robina Marchesi, animator Tim Hittle, Klara Harris and Liza Patnoe have finally released Gumby Dharma. The film is an emmy award winning film about Art Clokey, the person behind the popular green guy everyone knows as...of course, Gumby!
The film went through all the film festivals, won awards and you can grab it on DVD to watch if it didnt show up in your town. Clokey who was deeply spiritual really believed that he was on the right path with Gumby and was fortunate enough to employ new animators and take them under his wing. In fact his humble studio hired many of the animators working on all the stop motion films you will find in theaters today. The documentary however focuses more on his personal life and hardships during his childhood and career.
