According to Google, today is Art Clokey's birthday. He was the creator of "Gumby" and apparently died only last year. I'm only passingly familiar with this show (I'm not quite THAT old!) and my kids were curious about it, so we looked up some videos on YouTube. They are so refreshingly simplistic. I think time has taken these claymation videos and transformed them from something cheesy and dumb into something charming and sweet. I can only imagine the creativity this could inspire in the right kid. Paydough or modeling clay anyone? Anyone up for some stop-motion photography?
Here is a cute sample:
