Todd and Andy are trying out their best mouth-noises this week as we take a look at UPA’s Oscar-winning short Gerald McBoing-Boing and its three lesser-known sequels. What’s your favourite Dr. Seuss book? Is there anything sexier than minimalistic leg-swinging? And why call your planet ‘Planet Moo’ if no-one is going to make any cow sounds? We discuss these subjects and more as we pay tribute to the boy who didn’t speak words but went “Boing Boing” instead!
