VIDEO – It was 41 Years Ago Today..

It was on 25th September 1965 that the weekly 30 minute Beatles cartoon show was first aired on ABC. The show ran until April 20th 1969. Each show featured a series of “mini-adventures” wrapped around a Beatles song.

This week’s video clip is a reminder of that fun series and is unusual in that instead of it being one of the cute stories it shows some of the behind the scenes activity with a look at the animators at work. The show produced by Al Brodax for King Features in New York. with the actual animation done by a combination of studios including TVC of London, Artransa in Australia, Cine-Centrum in Holland, and CanaWest in Vancouver. I have no idea which studio is shown in these shots or who the animation staff are. If anyone knows let me know as it would be nice to give them a name check as a way to thank them for all the fun they provided.

For more information on the Beatles cartoons check out the excellent Beatletoons book.

Enjoy - 

The series has yet to be officially released on DVD, but it isn’t too difficult to find copies floating around at various conventions or on-line.
