Back in 1969, 14-year-old Beatles fanatic Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto.  Armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, Levitan convinced Lennon to do an interview.

38 years later, director Josh Raskin has created a hauntingly beautiful animated film using Levitan’s original interview recording.  Using the Yellow Submarine-inspired pen work of James Braithwaite and digital illustrations of Alex Kurina, I Met the Walrus perfectly encapsulates Lennon’s prescient thoughts on politics and peace.

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