Since the clay characters are obviously make believe, it would seem unlikely that children would be frightened by the action in the movie. However, the Blockheads kidnap and put Gumby and friends in a refrigerated truck. In another scene, three characters slide down a pole and end up as one big rubber ball that must be operated on. Gumby and his clone have a sword fight and the clone is cut down the middle. Robots get melted down and the Blockheads slap one another. It’s a stretch to call this violence, and there is no other questionable material in the movie. Gumby and his friends are kind and helpful to each other and to the needy farmers. When Pokey the horse feels left out, Gumby shows concern. Several friends go into different books trying to find Gumby, as Gumby himself works to rescue another friend. GUMBY THE MOVIE can be wholeheartedly recommended for young children.
