Canadian TV series or program
Gerald McBoing-Boing is an American-Canadian
Flash-animated
children's television series based on the 1950 animated short film
Gerald McBoing-Boing . It is produced by
Cookie Jar Entertainment , with animation provided by
Mercury Filmworks .
It first aired on
Cartoon Network in the United States on August 22, 2005, as part of their then-
Tickle-U programming block, and on Teletoon in
English and
French in Canada on August 29, 2005. The show later aired in reruns on
Boomerang around 2007. It was also internationally broadcast on
ABC Kids in Australia. The series finale aired on November 28, 2007.
It uses the same basic art style as the original except more detailed: each 11-minute episode features a series of vignettes with Gerald, of what the "fantasy tales" are done in Seussian rhyme.
[1] Sound checks, gags, and "real-life" portions of the show are also included. Gerald still only makes sounds (and, unlike the UPA specials, is actually praised for it), but he now has two speaking friends, Janine and Jacob, as well as a dog named Burp, who only burps (accompanied by someone, usually Gerald's mother, saying "excuse me" afterwards). Gerald's parents (names unknown) also fill out the regular cast.
Each episode was directed by Robin Budd and story edited/written by
John Derevlany . The music and score for the series was composed by Ray Parker and Tom Szczesniak. 39 episodes (78 segments) were produced.
