The Puppetoon Movie is a 1987 fantasy comedy animated film written, produced, and directed by Arnold Leibovit. It is based on the Puppetoons characters created by George Pal in the 1930s and 1940s, which feature the eponymous Puppetoon animation, and features Gumby, Pokey, and Arnie the Dinosaur, who host the framing story. Its framing story stars the voices of Dick Beals, Art Clokey, Paul Frees, and Dallas McKennon as the main characters.
The original 1987 release of The Puppetoon Movie contained 11 Puppetoons. The 2000 DVD release included 9 additional Puppetoons, and the 2013 Blu-ray release added 7 more.
In 2020, The Puppetoon Movie Volume 2 was released on Blu-ray and DVD, featuring 17 shorts not included on any of the Puppetoon Movie releases and The Ship of the Ether.
In 2023, The Puppetoon Movie Volume 3 was released on Blu-ray, featuring 28 shorts, including 7 previously released on The Puppetoon Movie with higher resolution and vastly improved restorations.
The film was dedicated to Paul Frees.
Plot: On a film set, Gumby and his friends are shooting a dinosaur movie. However, the Tyrannosaurus rex, Arnie, is reluctant to act ferocious. Upon questioning, Arnie feels unfit for the part and explains that he once was ferocious, but thanks to the influence of George Pal, he has reformed. Gumby fails to understand the profound effect of Pal, so Arnie and Pokey show Gumby a set of Pal shorts to show him the significance of the artist.
Pal short films featured:
The Little Broadcast
Philips Broadcast of 1938
Hoola Boola
South Sea Sweethearts
The Sleeping Beauty
Tulips Shall Grow
Together in the Weather
John Henry and the Inky-Poo
Philips Cavalcade
Jasper in a Jam
Tubby the Tuba
Afterwards, Gumby and the crew meet other characters whom Pal animated, such as the Pillsbury Doughboy and the Alka-Seltzer mascot Speedy, as well as the titular monkey of the Curious George books and the titular amphibians of the Frog and Toad books. Gumby thanks Pal for making all this possible. The screen pans out and shows a gremlin, who looks at the audience, says "George Pal!" in a raspy voice, then ascends a support beam while laughing hysterically.

00:01:45Oh
00:01:54Gosh this just isn't right
00:01:58Listen you'd better run away. I really don't want to have
00:02:15I'm sorry Gumby. I just can't do it. You know, I don't eat meat
00:02:24You don't have to really eat her. You're just acting for gosh sakes. That's a wrap everyone. Take a break
00:02:36Gumby weren't you a little hard on Arnie? I've got a movie to make Poki. What can I do?
00:02:42He seems quite sensitive to me. You'd better talk it out
00:02:51What's bothering you Arnie? I can't play this part Gumby. It's just not me
00:03:00Have you ever had this problem before?
00:03:03Only once when I accidentally stepped on a frog
00:03:07I don't get it. Dinosaurs like you were supposed to be ferocious creatures. I know
00:03:15I was once
00:03:19But then I worked as a stand-in in one of George Pal's movies and I haven't been the same since
00:03:28You mean George the Puppetoon's pal?
00:03:31How? How did that change your delivery?
00:03:34George Pal taught me everything I know. His films were so positive
00:03:40He showed me that even a villain can have a good side
00:03:48I guess that's when I became a vegetarian
00:03:51Harnie has a good point Gumby
00:03:54Come to think of it George Pal's Puppetoon's were a big influence in my life, too
00:04:01Oh, no, not you, too
00:04:03Sure, Gumby
00:04:05The Puppetoon's is where it all started
00:04:08George Pal had more to do with all of us than you think
00:04:14Really?
00:04:15You know, without George, some of us might never have been born
00:04:22Wow, that's heavy
00:04:23But I still don't quite
00:04:25Hokey, I think we better give Gumby a little sample of what I mean
00:04:31Couldn't hurt
00:04:45Ready, Gumby?
00:04:52All set, Arnie
00:04:53Can you get the lights, Pokey?
00:04:57Sure
00:04:57You watch, Gumby, and we'll talk delivery later
00:05:08The story of George Pal is as unique as any in the magical world of the animated film
00:05:31George really worked miracles for us
00:05:35His big idea of animating three-dimensional characters, known as Puppetoon's
00:05:41Came to life at his Eindhoven studios in Holland over 50 years ago
00:05:48The most impossible visions took the movie screens of Europe by store
00:06:18George Pal became the merchant of fantasy to Europeans
00:06:23Just as Walt Disney was to Americans
00:06:27George later went on to the United States
00:06:31And set up the first animated puppet film factory in Hollywood
00:06:36And a new form of magic was born into the world
00:06:42Gosh, Arnie, that's really something
00:06:45But now what?
00:06:47For the next hour and a half, sit back and relax, Gumby
00:06:51Because this is The Puppetoon Movie
00:06:55So we're only going to see the well, that we'll see For the animations for you

00:20:48All tanks.
00:20:49An island's life is the life for me.
00:20:50Where girls are fair and fancy free.
00:20:56And all the clothes a lady needs are a bunch of grass and a string of beans.
00:21:03Ah, a patient.
00:21:04Knock, knock.
00:21:05Knock, knock.
00:21:06Who is there?
00:21:07The doctor.
00:21:08Oh, doctor.
00:21:09They take away my girl and I'm too tired to fight.
00:21:11And even wake up tired.
00:21:28Don't worry your fellow man lads, I can soon put you right.
00:21:37soon put you right. Gentlemen, this is a clear case of night starvation. Now I want you to
00:21:42give him horlicks every night. Every night, my cue. And in six weeks, he'll be a new man.
00:22:07Sacrifice!
00:22:37...
00:22:51...
00:22:57...
00:22:59...
00:23:01...
00:23:03...
00:23:05Now, folks, this is a big fight.
00:23:27The seconds are out of the ring.
00:23:28They're out of the corners.
00:23:30Wham!
00:23:31Gee, did he get his.
00:23:32They're in a clinch.
00:23:33He got him.
00:23:34He got him.
00:23:35Did you see that?
00:23:36He's grubby now.
00:23:37No, he's not.
00:23:38This is terrific.
00:23:39You ought to be here.
00:23:41Boy, is this a fight.
00:23:43They're out of the ropes.
00:23:47He's down.
00:23:48He's down.
00:23:49No, he's not.
00:23:50Now, he's up.
00:23:51Now, he's down.
00:23:53Now, he's absent.
00:23:54Now, I'm...
00:23:56Goodbye.
00:23:57I'm sorry.
00:24:08I'm sorry.
00:24:09I'm sorry.
00:24:17Bye.
00:34:59Thanks.
00:35:01Thanks.
00:35:03Hello.
00:35:05Oh, my God.
00:35:35Yes!
00:36:05Yes!
00:36:07Yes!
00:36:08Yes!
00:36:09Yes!
00:36:10Yes!
00:36:11Yes!
00:36:12Yes!
00:36:14Yes!
00:36:15Yes!
00:36:16Yes!
00:36:17Yes!
00:36:18Yes!
00:36:19Yes!
00:36:22Yes!
00:36:23Yes!
00:36:28Yes!
00:36:30Yes!
00:36:32Man, the man.
00:37:02Man, the man.
00:37:32Man, the man.
00:38:02Well, kiddies, once upon a time, in a pretty little garden, in a pretty cottage, a very, very pretty girl named Judy lived under very, very peculiar circumstances.
00:38:17Now, this little cutie bug never showed hide nor hair of herself unless the weather was fair.
00:38:23Why?
00:38:25Because she worked in one of them weather clocks.
00:38:30Yep.
00:38:30Yes, sir.
00:38:31Now, right smack dab next door was a young fella named Punchy who also lived under very, very peculiar circumstances.
00:38:44He never stuck his nose outside, and unless the weather was so bad, it wasn't even worth talking about.
00:38:53You know, his job was telling us what kind of weather we're having.
00:38:57Now, this kind of stuff's been going on for a long, long time.
00:39:17But even under the most PQs of circumstances, any girl critter with an hourglass figure wants to make every minute count.
00:39:28But nothing ever happened.
00:39:31Why?
00:39:31I tell you, because this young fella had more brains in his little finger than he had in his head.
00:39:40So, Judy knows right off that he's a kind of a critter that's got to be hit by a truck.
00:39:46Yes, sir, indeedy.
00:39:47So, for a truck, she wore some kind of gingham get-up, uh, cut on the right smart bias, uh, with a bare midriff.
00:39:55That means her stomach showed.
00:39:57But, uh, Judy knows that, uh, he had six cents.
00:40:02Even though there weren't no sign of the other five.
00:40:05So, she hit him again with a new fur coat.
00:40:09Mink, I think.
00:40:10In fact, she was always going around acting like a girl.
00:40:16Doing all kinds of girl stuff.
00:40:18Like drenched in them there sweet smellings like, uh,
00:40:22Perfume de la Slam.
00:40:24Bam.
00:40:25And a new one called,
00:40:27Bam!
00:40:28Which is absolutely guaranteed to drive us young fellas star-graving matter to 20 back.
00:40:37But, uh, that didn't quite hit the nail on the thumb.
00:40:40So, Judy wore blue sweaters to bring out her eyes.
00:40:49And she smacked him with some of those high-octane bathing bloomers.
00:40:55And that did it.
00:40:56Whistling
00:40:58Whistling
00:40:59Whistling
00:41:00Whistling
00:41:01Whistling
00:41:02Whistling
00:41:03Whistling
00:41:04Whistling
00:41:05Whistling
00:41:06Whistling
00:41:07Whistling
00:41:08Whistling
00:41:09Whistling
00:41:12Whistling
00:41:16Nope.
00:41:18No dirty calls.
00:41:26Well, things got nowhere fast.
00:41:29Punchy was still in a fog.
00:41:31But that wasn't bad enough.
00:41:33You know, sir, a big blow had to horn in.
00:41:49Oh! Help!
00:42:01You know, that ain't bad.
00:42:31You know what?
00:42:33I don't know.
00:42:35I don't know what that means.
00:42:36I don't know what those guys are doing.
00:42:39But it was all about 348-297-1770.
00:42:44You're welcome, sir.
00:42:46I think they're all about the Bengals.
00:42:49You're welcome.
00:42:51I've been to the World Tions for $10,000.
00:42:54And there's a lot of people that want.
00:42:56So, you know, Punchy took Judy over to his house, but the young feller didn't know what
00:43:15a big step he was taking over that threshold, because it only made the very peculiar circumstances
00:43:21more peculiar.
00:43:26Well, you know, that young feller doesn't know to this day what happened to him.
00:43:45All he knows is that he likes it.
00:43:52Now, when it rains, why, Punchy and Judy just stay inside, which is exactly what all young
00:43:59fellers and all pretty girls should do.
00:44:02When circumstances are perfect...
00:44:14The whistles were blowing at the heel of the storm.
00:44:22The night was dark clouded and the weather was warm.
00:44:36The treetops was huddled together in the night, and the wind kind of whispering, like a scared
00:44:44wind might.
00:44:45It was 48 hours from evening to morning, on that big black night when John Henry was born.
00:45:05John Henry was big, John Henry was strong, he was four foot wide and twelve foot low.
00:45:15He had muscles of steel, but the gate was born.
00:45:17He was six and two worth, just the minute he was born, John Henry.
00:45:22He was six and two worth, just the minute he was born, John Henry.
00:45:38My name's John Henry, woman.
00:45:40Pleased to know you, son.
00:45:42I, your mother.
00:45:44Now, the boy John Henry never lived by the roof.
00:45:49The valley was his home, and the river his school.
00:45:53But when he first saw the railroad with his tracks of steel, when he first saw the engine
00:46:03with his riding wheel, he knew this was his calling, railroad tracks was his son.
00:46:13John Henry went to work on the C&O Lounge.
00:46:20My name's John Henry.
00:46:28I got muscles of steel, and I was born three weeks ago.
00:46:30I reckon it's about time I got around to work it.
00:46:41But there was trouble in the orphan for the steel-driving men, where the railroad-bought
00:46:46an engine could do the work of ten.
00:46:49An engine that could hammer while the steel sparks flew.
00:46:52An engine most inhuman.
00:46:55All day, ain't you?
00:47:00What are we going to do?
00:47:06That engine's going to take our jobs away.
00:47:08How are we going to drive steel when that engine does it better?
00:47:12Bastard!
00:47:13Quicker!
00:47:14Deeper!
00:47:14Porter!
00:47:19Just leave everything to me.
00:47:22What you going to do?
00:47:23Name is John Henry.
00:47:24I aim to show up that engine.
00:47:26The Inky Poe?
00:47:27How are you going to do that, Mr. Steel-Driving Man?
00:47:30With my two bare hands.
00:47:32With my thirty-pound hammers.
00:47:34With the Inky Poe's an engine.
00:47:36A machine!
00:47:37You can't beat an engine!
00:47:39The man ain't born that can beat a machine!
00:47:42Ain't no machine made can beat a man.
00:47:45Once a man's got a mind, he can beat that machine.
00:47:48The sun was a-blazing from the sky of blue on the day John Henry met the Inky Poe.
00:48:07The Big Ben Tunnel was a place they'd set for the steel-driving race man would never forget.
00:48:13To see young John Henry match his muscles and might against the Inky Poe in a working fight.
00:48:20You can't do it, John Henry!
00:48:45I don't do it, woman!
00:48:46But you'll be hurt, you'll be killed!
00:48:49Stop bussing at me, woman!
00:48:51I can't stand a bussing woman!
00:48:54No, John Henry, no!
00:49:13He beat the machine!
00:49:14He drove more steel!
00:49:16There's a steel-driving engine!
00:49:17John Henry's day!
00:49:17John Henry!
00:49:18John Henry was big, John Henry was strong.
00:49:39He bore good, white and still good, no!
00:49:44No, John Henry, no!
00:49:46He beat something's hammer and lay him down.
00:49:48And he never got out from the cold, cold ground.
00:49:51He beat something's hammer and lay him down.
00:49:54And he never got out from the cold, cold ground.
00:49:58Now, you know, and I know, history has a way of making big men bigger and strong men stronger.
00:50:15And even if John Henry wasn't as big as the stories say he was big, or as strong as stories say he was strong, he was still a mighty man, a steel-driving man who worked with his house in the blazing sun and in the pouring rain, driving his steel, building a railroad, building a country.
00:50:36That's him, John Henry, an American worker.
00:50:43John Henry didn't die back there at Big Ben Tuttle.
00:50:46He just showed that a man can do anything a machine can do.
00:50:51If a man only has a mind to do it.
00:50:58No, John Henry didn't die.
00:51:02He just stopped living in his mammoth shack there beside the river and the railroad track.
00:51:10And he started in living in the hearts of men forever and today.
00:51:20I want to cross over into Ambrose.
