Thank goodness for the Internet Archive. Among the zillions of old movies, radio shows, racy Betty Boop cartoons, countless texts, and other out-of-copyright treasures, resides this gem from Gumby creator Art Clokey, produced in 1953 and intended as a parody (?) of Disney's Fantasia. Apparently Gumbasia did well enough financially that it funded the pilot of the first Gumby TV show, whose creative weirdness I adored as a very young kid. It's quite the discordantly jazzy and fascinating little trip.
