I Met The Walrus

I Met The Walrus is an animated short by James Braithwaite, in which John Lennon answers a 14-year-old’s questions about peace, music, the USA, life and the Bee Gees. Thirty-nine years later, the boy gone man, Jerry Levitan offered the interview to the world. Deep words beautifully animated.

  1. AMAZING animation. So inventive to turn almost every word into a new visual. Made the interview better than it actually is. Nice find.

  3. Three years ago, there was a contretemps when Microsoft created its People Ready ads which were an “homage” to the Braithwaite animation. FYI.
