Watch Gerald McBoing-Boing, the wonderful Oscar-winning cartoon from 1950
by David Pescovitz from on (#26WG8)
No, Mark and Carla didn't name bOING bOING after Dr. Seuss's wonderful story. (The far stranger truth is right here.) But nonetheless, the story of young Gerald McCloy, aka Gerald McBoing-Boing, is a true delight! Please enjoy this Oscar-winning animation of Gerald McBoing-Boing, adapted from Seuss's story by Phil Eastman and Bill Scott, directed by Robert Cannon, and produced by John Hubley.
They say it all started
when Gerald was two-
That's the age kids start talking-least, most of them do.
Well, when he started talking,
you know what he said?
He didn't talk words-
he went boing boing instead!
(Thanks, UPSO!)
