The Very Best New Adventures of Gumby

The Very Best New Adventures of Gumby is a proposed American animated television series featuring Gumby. As a collaboration of Warner Bros. Animation, producer of the Looney Tunes; The Jim Henson Company, the creator of The Muppets; and Premavision, a California-based studio owned by the late Art Clokey, the series is the first and only last made-for-television incarnation of the Gumby franchise since Gumby Adventures. It was originally developed as a clay animated series by The Jim Henson Company, but soon become the franchise's first ever project to use traditional (hand-drawn) animation instead.
Taking place after Gumby: The Movie which follow the events of Gumby Adventures, the series centers on a green clay humanoid and his pals going on further new adventures and meeting new friends including Davey and Goliath, also created by Clokey for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
