What is not widely known is that Art Clokey also made a few highly experimental and visually inventive short clay animation films which have nothing to do with a children's demographic. Not only his first film ''Gumbasia'', but also the visually-rich ''Mandala''—described by Clokey as a metaphor for evolving human consciousness—and the equally bizarre ''The Clay Peacock'', an elaboration on the animated NBC logo of the time. These films have only recently become available via the Rhino box-set release of Gumby's television shorts, all appearing on the bonus DVD (disc 7). Clokey is also credited with the bizarre clay-animation title sequence for the 1966 film Dr. Goldfoot And The Bikini Machine . |
