Link to the Show / Show Notes"This is the story of Gerald McCloy, and the strange thing that happened to that little boy," begins the classic cartoon's narration. Gerald cannot talk, but, oh, the sounds he does make!
Based on the unlikely premise that a young boy named Gerald speaks not in words, but in sound effects like "boing," this simply drawn and animated series launched a revolution in animation. Gerald is reprimanded for his inability to speak in words in "Gerald McBoing Boing," celebrated for his vocal talents in "Gerald McBoing Boing's Symphony," understood through the marvels of science in "How Now Boing Boing" and looked upon as a curiosity in "Gerald McBoing! Boing! On Planet Moo."
Winner of an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Subject in 1950, Gerald McBoing Boing in one of the truly remarkable theatrical cartoons of the golden age. It was a collaboration between UPA (United Productions of America) and Dr. Seuss.
