Wait... So the article says they plan on making a Live-Action and Animated Gumby?
So I assume the animated one will be claymation (otherwise, what is the point? Making it CG or something would take away what makes Gumby interesting and horrifying!)....
But the live-action? Wut? Do they have Eddie Murphy on speed dial or something?

Gumby should get a Fox News show where he's an anti vaxxer.

Maybe I'm remembering things wrong. But wasn't the creator against merchandising the character?

Gumby should get a Fox News show where he's an anti vaxxer. "This just in Fox News host Gumby was fired by the network for allegedly groping a female coworker. Mr. Gumby was let go with a 3.2-million-dollar severance package as laid out in his contract."

see, this is what you all get for talking about the Gumby movie a few weeks back (Setting: FOX Internet Monitoring Office) Flunkie: "Sir, we just noticed that Internet chatter about Gumby is up 74%." Manager: "Excellent, who is talking about him?" F: "A couple of guys on the FAN Forums." M: "Interesting... buy it now! NOW!" F: "Yes, sir!"

Doesn't this mean that Disney bought Gumby... No, this is the re-established Fox Entertaiment buying Gumby. If it were Disney, 21st Century Productions (the renamed 21st Century Fox) would have announced it. But also Disney don’t really make it a habit of buying properties, The Muppets still being a weird exception to that. Yeah, the Muppets being because it was something Jim Henson wanted to do to ensure that it be taken care of, I think? It's been a while, so I forget the reasoning, it was just something I do remember he was adamant about.

Nah, they'd fire the female co-worker and bully her into signing an NDA, deny press reports that anything happened then give Gumby a promotion.

Clay and Brodus Clay.

I'd love to hear a recording of the meeting where they decided this was a good idea.
