- Adventures of a boy who can only speak through sound effects.
- A short-lived television series featuring Gerald McBoing-Boing, a little boy who speaks through sound effects instead of spoken words. The series was based on several animated short films from the animation studio UPA, themselves adaptations of a story by Dr. Seuss. The series served as a showcase for other series by UPA, such as "Dusty of the Circus", "Punch and Judy", and "The Twirlinger Twins". The series only lasted for 3 months due to budget problems, though it was available for reruns in the summer of 1957.
- The story of a little boy who would only talk in sound effects. With story by Dr. Seuss (and Bill Scott of Rocky and Bullwinkle fame) this cartoon won the Oscar for best short subject (animated) for 1950.
- While meeting a new friend, Gerald is abducted by aliens and whisked to the planet Moo. The king of Moo mistakenly thinks that all Earthlings - like Gerald - speak only in sound effects, and he attempts to converse with Gerald. Hoping to lure Earth tourism to his planet, the king brings the boy back to Earth in the hope of establishing good relations, but Earth diplomats are puzzled by the king's unusual language.
- Gerald McBoing Boing, a little boy who can't talk but can imitate any sound, is working as a one-man sound effects department for a radio station. When a scheduled symphony orchestra does not show up, Gerald replaces them. He is doing fine until he mixes up the score with the sound effects script, and creates an original symphony. He is fired, but the critics hail his work as that of a genius.
