“I Met The Walrus” animation of a John Lennon interview
If you’ve been reading the blog for a few months, you may have noticed that I have a thing for these witty animations.
Things things are freakin’ genius to me in the most basic, simple, easy to understand kind of way.
Make sure you read the info below the video. 14-year-old!!! Sooo cool! Brings the whole thing together very nicely.
In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon’s every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit, and timeless message.

Great film, I was shocked at the quality of the animation. Here’s another new Lennon video, a previously unreleased peace seminar from 1969.
