Gerald McBoing-Boing grew up and became a hippy in the 60s.

What a great cartoon! And it's proof running away from home pays off in the end.

Damn that kid's cute

thank you!!!

i checked out a book of old comic archives, and this was in it! the movie left out a few panels though, and he roared like a lion when his dad was shaving

this is pure genius

Classic UPA at it's best. I think some people are taking the story a bit too literally though, it's supposed to be a metaphor: UPA were trying different methods of creating animations, along with convincing people to take the medium seriously as a 2D art form. Gerald's struggle is thiers:Gerald's natural reaction to express in a way nobody else understands is symbolic for right-wing conventionalists in mainstream animation rejecting new ways. But eventually he is accepted and loved. like UPA.

Hey, yeah, I know it's such a shock to see the YouTube comment section getting of topic...

I didn't realize people had to clear it with you before they replied to someone's comment, which was clearly inspired by the video anyway.
