The Gumby Show

1957; 1988

Art Clokey's iconic clay figure Gumby and his pony Pokey were filmed using stop motion clay animation, allowing the figures to constantly change shape, morphing into squares, emerging from walls, and breaking off into dozens of pieces. The green guy originally aired in 1957 and was brought back in 1988 for "Gumby Adventures."
