Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Gerald McBoing Boing won the 1950 Oscar for best short subject cartoon, but what's more amazing is that kids today are still intrigued by this fun program. 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 appeals to every child's sense of the ridiculous. Gerald is reprimanded for his inability to speak in words in "Gerald McBoing Boing," looked upon as a curiosity in "Gerald McBoing! Boing! On Planet Moo," celebrated for his vocal talents in "Gerald McBoing Boing's Symphony" and finally understood through the marvels of science in "How Now Boing Boing." What children learn from Gerald's always entertaining predicaments is that it's okay to be different. With its whimsical rhyming story by Dr. Seuss, its adaptation by Bill Scott and Phil (P.D.) Eastman, and its rich albeit somewhat dated musical score, Gerald McBoing Boing is definitely a true cartoon classic. One could argue that it was a strong influence on the currently popular Bark George, Bark book and Scholastic Video. (Ages 12 months to 10 years) --Tami Horiuchi

Maybe that should be the good part - singular. The first of these cartoons adapts a story by Dr. Seuss. Gerald, a small boy, speaks only in sound effects: twangy jaw-harp "boings," train whistles, and lots more. With the good Doctor's bouncy script, even the loose and somewhat sub-par animation come to life, creating a charming story.
The franchise goes quickly down hill, though. Some amusement remains in this one-joke series, as the joke is repeated in the other three `toons on this ... Read More

Geez, it won the Academy Award!
But, the disk does not include Citizen Kane and Debbie Does Dallas. Try harder Sony!
If anyone cares, Gerald played Tiny Tim in Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol.

great that steven bosustow's cartoons came to the market in a dvd format. The only sad part is that this great dvd contains 4 cartoons only.

I em enthralled that by some godsent miracle, you actually decided to release these wonderful films to DVD! It's certainly about time!
However four 7 minute shorts do not a DVD make!
Why couldn't you have at least included some other classic UPA entries in the Jolly Frolics series, such as the wonderfully creative and artistic masterpiece, Rooty Toot Toot, The Tell-Tale Heart, the many Mr. Magoo theatrical shorts you hold license to, etc..?
Again, I'm very happy ... Read More

I am writing as a non native "american", so culturally McBoing Boing's influence in my life is not as deep as in many other readers or tv spectators may be. Nevertheless, I am a part of those delighted by sepcific UPA members animation work such as John Hubley and, in this particular case, Robert "Bobe" Cannon.
Cannon's visual influence in animation, according to Bendazzi's "Cartoons" (book available from Amazon.com) "born from Matisse, Picasso and Klee", certainly proves more than plain ... Read More
