I Met The Walrus
BackIn 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit, and timeless message.

This is a masterpiece of animation, beautifully done. I think John Lennon would have thought it was very cool. Good boy Jerry Good Boy.

One of the guys who worked on this - Alex Kurina, I think - came to my film class and talked about this with us. It was cool.

Superb animation and great courage for a fourteen guy to interview such a figure!

No. They did, however, bring Clapton in for "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." You were close.
