Gerald McBoing Boing


I had not seen this cartoon in many, many years. And yesterday I bought it at Borders. And it was so cool. This was created in the 1950's by a company called UPA. They were the most stylebreaking studio in animation. Every cartoon on Nick and Cartoon Network owes their style to them. They were so ahead of their time that they went broke. Their most famous creation was Mr. Magoo. But their most amazing creation was Gerald McBoing Boing, the boy who didn't speak words but simply went "Boing, Boing".
