Beatles Cartoon


Hypnotic

From 1965 to 1969 on the US television network ABC there was a cartoon called "The Beatles". There were 39 episodes in all. Each episode featured one song of The Beatles.

I was too young to remember seeing this cartoon, although I did watch a lot of TV them. So I was surprised to find them on YouTube.

The above video features the song "Tomorrow Never Knows". I find the whole sequence really hypnotic. Even with the cheap animation they got the feeling right. It is worth a watch.

But, the bats fly to the sounds of seagulls. Maybe I am too picky!

There is a good Wikipedia article about this cartoon series. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles_(TV_series)
