The Beatles cartoon has become beloved and notorious for its production values: wonderful songs used as a backdrop for cookie-cutter stories and shoddy yet funkylicious animation that fits the time period these shorts were made. I've only ever seen this cartoon through bootlegs; and that's another thing, this cartoon has NEVER seen an official release on home video formats.
The Beatles were huge in the 60s with just about everyone. Why not turn little kids onto their great music right?
Love these cartoons. the animation looks like cartoon veteran Gene Dietch had something to do with them.
I couldn't have been more than four or five when this show came out! Many years later (like 25!
I first saw the cartoon when I was 14 at Beatlefest 2000 of Chicago, IL. My first cartoon was "Got To Get You Into My Life", and it's really funny.
I recall only bits and pieces of the show and would love to see it again on TV. It probably is dated but would bring back a lot of memories.
I remember watching episodes of this on Sunday mornings on KPLR, channel 11 in St. Louis in the late 1970s or early 1980s.
I remember several of this show's episodes because it replayed on Teletoon in Canada (I think, it might've been the Family Channel). Anyways, the cartoons were very Monkey-esque, that is they usually ended up in some sort of a jam or situation, but then they sang a song and everything worked out well.
Whatever the real Beatles may have thought of this, it is what turned me on to them. I was 8 and thought I didn't like them.
