I just saw the Blu-ray for sale and looked it up. I figured I watched it before, but looking at the release date I actually don’t think I ever have.
Such a weird story behind this movie. Production started in 1988 and was helmed by Art Clokey, the creator of Gumby. The nostalgia based series was freshly airing in syndication and expectations for the film were high leading it to be referred to as Gumby 1 with the expectation that there would be a sequel or sequels. Then production dragged out over 4 years. By the time of completion the Gumby wave had faded and no one wanted to distribute it. It finally was released in 1995 and was a massive bomb. Somewhere along the way Michael Jackson was also approached to do music for the film. It currently has a 6.2 rating based on 892 votes on IMDB.

Is there a MST3000 rift on this?

I remember my mom renting this for me back in 1995. I watched Gumby a lot on Nickelodeon during that time. I thought it was passable for what it was.

I remember picking up the VHS at one point. Then got the DVD when that was available. It's fun.
