Art Clokey, who died last week at age 88, didn’t create stop-motion animation, but he did a whole lot to advance the art form. Clokey created TV’s first and still most famous and most enduring stop-motion character, Gumby. And through TV, Clokey and Gumby (and, to a somewhat lesser extent, Clokey’s other TV creation, Davey and Goliath) made stop-motion fans of a generation. That means that whether you’re a fan of Clokey’s pliable emerald hero or of later creations like Robot Chicken, Wallace & Gromit and Coraline, you really ought to take a minute to remember Clokey and celebrate his legacy. Here’s some stuff to watch in salute to a great innovator.
