FOX Entertainment Acquires ‘Gumby’ Animated Franchise

FOX Entertainment has acquired the animated character, “Gumby,” and all his friends from the estate of Joseph Clokey, son of creator, Art Clokey.   

FOX Entertainment has obtained all rights to the popular franchise, including film, television and streaming, consumer products, licensing, publishing and others. In addition, FOX has acquired the full library of “Gumby” animated series, specials, movies and content, which will expand Tubi’s current offerings of the franchise. 

Internal teams are at work showcasing the classic Gumby series on Tubi and reimagining the beloved franchise for broadcast, streaming and beyond.  

“Competition for globally recognized intellectual property is fierce,” says Charlie Collier, chief executive officer, FOX Entertainment. “Uncovering this gem, with its built-in awareness and affinity, and bringing it to FOX, adds meaningful value and creative possibilities to the IP itself and to multiple divisions of our company. FOX is proud to be home to these iconic characters. Welcome one and all.”
