Description

The Beatles Cartoon Series Animation Cel. The Beatles reportedly did not care for the animated series based on them that aired from 1965-69, and were less than enthusiastic about the idea of an animated feature film, ultimately declining to be involved in the production of Yellow Submarine (1968). (However, they changed their minds upon seeing completed footage from the movie, and years after the Beatles broke up, John Lennon admitted that he "got a blast" out of watching reruns of the cartoon series.) This rare animation cel from the series comes from episode #10 ("Long Tall Sally/I'll Cry Instead," November, 1965), and features a medium shot of a cartoon John Lennon. The cel has been matted and framed to an overall size of 18" x 15" and is in Excellent condition.
