Pal's Puppets

 

 (imdb)

THE PUPPETOON MOVIE-1987-This is a compilation of George Pal's 10 Puppetoons shorts plus a short history of its inception. It's hosted by Arnie the Dinosaur who tells the tale to clay animation icons, Gumby and his pal Pokey! Originally there were 11 shorts but there have been several revised versions that added more with each volume. Pal received an honorary Academy Award in 1944 for his work on them. It was written, produced and directed by Arnold Leibovit who also made the bio-pic THE FANTASY FILM WORLDS OF GEORGE PAL (1985). 

THE PUPPETOON MOVIE also features the last work of the great voice actor Paul Frees.
