Amusing sequel to the incredible Gerald McBoing-Boing

This short, nominated for an Academy Award, is a decent effort, quite amusing at times, but in comparison to the first short in the series, it suffers somewhat. Entertaining and quite creative in and of itself and well worth watching, but not a terribly special animated short by comparison to the other ground-breaking work that UPA turned out through the years. Recommended.

Gerald McBoing! Boing! on Planet Moo

"Gerald" is the kid who speaks in sound effects, and the press go mad when he is abducted by a flying saucer. He is taken to the far away planet of "Moo" where the king (straight off a suite of playing cards) turns out to be a bit broke. He and his advisors decide that Earth is ripe for the picking so interrogates the incomprehensible child, only to conclude that being friends might be better and so he, his aide "Murdoch" and the young "Gerald" set off to visit Earth and do a deal - "boinga boinga" style. I found this a bit dull and repetitive, though it does illustrate the difficulties of communication when language is not a constant. Watchable, but nothing special.

This is UPA in action.

The plot is simple: aliens intending to invade the Earth contact an earthling to learn the language of Earth. However, the aliens kidnap Gerald McBoing-Boing, a kid who doesn't speak--only makes sounds. So the aliens (who actually speak english) think that everybody else on Earth speaks like Gerald, and so the confusion starts.

In fact, the only confusion is that all characters involved on the plot are too cocky to admit that they don't know what's going on, so they pretend they know.

UPA is knows for making cartoons who are fun enough for little children, but also smart enough for grown ups. Anyone with an IQ bigger than its shoesize should love this one.

Wissenswertes
One of a small number of animated cartoons designed for and photographed in anamorphic wide-screen (e.g. CinemaScope), Gerald McBoing! Boing! on Planet Moo (1956) was released on home video (a now rare VHS tape from Columbia) in a "squeezed," non-anamorphic version. Few people have actually seen the film in its intended format which adds much to the timing and design of the film: it looks very odd indeed when all the characters are like string beans and their movements are squished together.
