However four 7 minute shorts do not a DVD make!
Why couldn’t you have at least included some other classic UPA entries in the Jolly Frolics series, such as the wonderfully creative and artistic masterpiece, Rooty Toot Toot, The Tell-Tale Heart, the many Mr. Magoo theatrical shorts you hold license to, etc..?

Again, I’m very happy to finally be able to own these on one convenient DVD package, but it seems like very little effort was put into this release. These cartoons were not aimed at children and I don’t expect the majority of sales to come from them either. These are among the most artistic, innovative, stylized and brilliant animated film productions of all-time!
The UPA cartoons deserve their own comprehensive release so please stop neglecting your animated film library!!!
I am writing as a non native “american”, so culturally McBoing Boing’s influence in my life is not as deep as in many other readers or tv spectators may be. Nevertheless, I am a part of those delighted by sepcific UPA members animation work such as John Hubley and, in this particular case, Robert “Bobe” Cannon.
Cannon’s visual influence in animation, according to Bendazzi’s “Cartoons” (book available from Amazon.com) “born from Matisse, Picasso and Klee”, certainly proves more than plain entertainment animation, in this case with 4 McBoing Boing’s shorts.
The reason to miss the five stars is not because of Cannon’s work, but because of Sony, as video-archive compiler and reseller.
Due to UPA’s importance in animation history by rebelling to a dominant Disney’s realistic style (around the mid 40’s)and, ironically, turning later to a great influence for future Disney animation “experimental” styles (which turned into Adademy Award winning productions such as “Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom”), a first try to present some of Cannon’s work would deserve some extras especially considering the DVD format.
The funny fact is that Sony decided to include most of McBoing Boing’s shorts in this DVD as extras in their comic-cult movie “Hellboy” (just missing “Gerald McBoing Boing’s Symphony”) but didn’t mind to add any documentary or additional data for “Cartoon Adventures Starring Gerald McBoing Boing”.Woludn’t it be nice for corporations to think once in a while that costumers can be interested in more than fun-pack version releases?
Anyway Robert Cannon’s work is still extense and a great recommendation for future acquisitions in Sony’s archives for DVD compliations would be:
Willie the Kid (1952)
Madeline (1952)
Christopher Crumpet (1953)
Christopher Crumpet’s Playmate (1953)
Fuget’s Budget (1954)
The Jaywalker (1956)
