I Met the Walrus

In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced him to do an interview. 38 years later, Levitan, director Josh Raskin and illustrator James Braithwaite have collaborated to create an animated short film using the original interview recording as the soundtrack. A spellbinding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit and timeless message, I Met the Walrus was nominated for the 2008 Academy Award for Animated Short. …

    i dont think it was meant to be insulting to canada. I think its a comparison of the two countries over world-wide recognition. The US is overly recognized for its superpower status, but Canada is the country up north, yknow?

    Amazing! Lennon is one of a kind! He’s gone to soon and is surely terribly missed!

    But the paradox is that the moonman died 2003 of lung cancer. Shall the egg-man come back?

    That is one of the most creative videos ive seen. awesome!

    its a shame that this master art video only has 1,357,427 views when a dumb song like lollipop has 33mill but like john Lennon said (its all there)

    i want to show an example of what he means you see like the number of views he has today 1,357,421 the 1,357 are missing the 2,4,and the in between and the extra 1 is so you can add it to2+4+1=7 see its all there you just have to find it (the point to this was that ?well look for it!THE ANSWERS ARE THERE IF YOU JUST LOOK LONG ENOUGH (SIMPLE ANSWER)

    you did this interview when you were FOURTEEN. Now I feel really really dumb.

  19. artistcblasphemy 31 August 2009 at 00:45 #

    This is by far one of the coolest videos ive seen recently. Very well done.

    it’s amazing to think, that when you recorded that so long ago, and to take it to this level of artistry now, after being inspired by his words in the recording…

    5 stars.

    I love how Canada is “Nothing” XD

    I understand what he’s saying but in my personal beliefs their will always be war, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to stop it

  22. nansir 31 August 2009 at 00:45 #

    Can you imagine what John would have been saying about our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. I reckon if he was around he could have stopped it, he was that influential. Who has picked up the mantle, where are the artists who have a voice to speak for us? Speak out. War is purile, it achieves nothing. Violence begets violence and the cycle goes on. WAKE UP FOR CHRIST’S SAKE!

    I respect John Lennon even more now. I love squares, fortunately I’m not a square myself.
