Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Gerald McBoing-Boing was a 1950 7-minute Animated Adaptation of a Dr. Seuss book of the same name. It was about a young boy named Gerald McCloy who only spoke in sound effects. Unlike other cartoons at the time, this used a more cartoonish, simplistic style and Limited Animation, although this was more Doing It for the Art than making a cheap cartoon. It became the first successful theatrical cartoon produced by UPA, and three more "Gerald Mc boing boing" shorts would be produced over the years, as well as a short lived primetime animated cartoon (the first ever, too, predating The Flintstones by a 3-4 years) in 1956. Aside from a few appearances in a couple of Mr. Magoo shorts, and playing the role of Tiny Tim in Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol, Gerald would fade to obscurity soon afterwards. |
