His name is Mr. Bumpy, he goes Bump In The Night!

Mr. Bumpy (Jim Cummings) is a wild green guy living under the bed, gobbling up dirty socks, rocking the night away and getting into adventures with his pals Squishington (Rob Paulsen), the neat-freak bathroom monster and Molly Coddle (Gail Matthius), a comfort doll who consoles those in need. A classic Saturday morning cartoon that aired from 1994 to 1995, this claymation program was highly creative and featured fantastic karaoke songs.

This set includes all 26 episodes form the two-season series, including the iconic fan favorite “Night Of The Living Bread”.

Mr. Bumpy is the role Jim Cummings received his Annie Nominations for so you don’t want to miss this classic from his earlier career.

In this series, Jim Cummings M.O.D.O.K. (sometimes written out as MODOK) which is an acronym for Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing.

(If anyone has a copy of Iron Man on DVD already, would you mind taking some screenshots of Jim Cummings’ M.O.D.O.K.? I can find versions of him from every version of Iron Man except this one, unfortunately.)

If you order the DVD from Amazon, they are offering several discounts and combination offers so you should be able to get a really good deal.

He and Launchpad aren’t even speaking?

Gosalyn’s miserable in a new school?

Darkwing Duck hasn’t been seen for a year and a half while Quackerjack is trying to get all the old villains back together?

That’s how things will start out in the newest issues of the Darkwing Duck comic series coming this June. The scribes behind this newest series are the same ones behind the popular Muppet comic books so fans of the show have a lot to look forward to. Read an interview with the creators of the comics for more info here.

If you don’t have a local comic book shop or simply prefer when they reissue the comics in longer lasting paperback, you can preorder the comics in paperback format on Amazon. Or stop by your local comic book shop this June and pick up a copy.

Either way, it sounds great to me as a fan of DW and gang!

Congratulations Jim Ward! Jim Cummings, you’ll just have to show them next time!

“This year I’m going with either Vanessa or Amy,” Cummings said, summing up his competition. “I think folks go down the line and go: ‘Jim Cummings? I don’t really know who that is. Oh, Joan Rivers, Vanessa Williams, I love her; let’s vote for her.’ You can’t fight that. I understand why they do it.” [SOURCE]

(I’m reminding your early so you cannot blame me if you forget to watch! )

Will Jim Cummings manage to wrest an Emmy away from the likes of Joan Rivers, Vanessa Williams (the host of the show) or Amy Poehler? Only time will tell.

UPDATE: Jim Cummings’ award will not be televised. Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program will be announced the Saturday before the televised broadcast. Booo!

This interview delves into his work as Pooh and Tigger touching on the transition from Paul Winchell:

His real breakthrough into lead work came in 1988, when he did his first job as Pooh in Winnie The Pooh Friend-ship: Tigger-ific Tales. As intimated before, Holloway was long gone from this planet, but Paul Winchell was still Tigger at that time. Cummings would first step into the role of Tigger in 1996 with a Pooh Halloween special entitled Boo To You, Too. Things started to get interesting after that.

“I absolutely did know Paul,” says Cummings. “I knew him well during the last years of his life, when he was going back and forth from South Africa, doing research. He was really like Da Vinci. He designed one of the prototypes for one of the first artificial hearts. He was also going back and forth to Africa to try and solve some of the hunger problems there. In fact, how I got the role of Tigger is initially when he would go I would pinch hit for him.”

Indeed. In 1998, on A Winnie The Pooh Thanksgiving special, both Cummings and Winchell are credited on the role of the terrific tiger. By 1999, it was handed over completely to Cummings with The Tigger Movie. From that point on, Cummings would voice both Pooh and Tigger. There’s some controversy over the transition. Rumors said Winchell didn’t take losing the job too well, apparently. Cummings has his own point of view.

“What actually happened is they decided to recast the entire cast,” he says. “They then did some tests and I came in first as Pooh and second on Tigger. Now when Paul was around, he was certainly Tigger. Then in 1999 he apparently decided to retire and I’ve been the voices of Tigger and Pooh since then, full time.”

But in this latest interview with TV Guide, he mentions that this is his third nomination. So, of course, I started digging looking for these past nominations to find out what years they were and what roles they were for. I have come up with a big fat nada.

So I turn to you, the readership. Can you help me find out what these nominations were for and when they were?

I appreciate your help with this!

Some highlights:

On being a little bitter about not being in the Pooh loop:

“You know what? I don’t know what’s in there. They never tell me anything. Honestly, I love Disney, but get a load of this…Winnie the Pooh had his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and they didn’t tell me. I’ve been doing the voice of Winnie the Pooh since 1987 and Disney doesn’t call! As much as you love them, its not like they want to make you the star—they want the character to be the star, which is cool. I understand that. [And] who knows? Maybe they’re afraid I’ll ask for a raise. [Laughs]“

On his favorite characters:

“Pooh, Tigger, Darkwing Duck, Don Karnage from TaleSpin, and there was a great little guy called Mr. Bumpy on an ABC series called Bump in the Night. It’s the stuff that used to get me kicked out of class, now the joke’s on them.”

As always, you can find the whole article in our News archive after the original site takes the story down.

He talks about doing dolphin sounds in the back of his catholic school classroom, his Emmy nomination, having to say about 25,000 names for My Interactive Pooh and his only regret, missing the auditions for The Simpsons because he was sick.
