The Beatles
The Beatles
The four mop-topped musicians from Liverpool, The Beatles, dominated the music scene in the the 1960's. An animated series based on the foursome soon became a huge hit on Saturday mornings.
The Beatles cartoons aired on ABC-TV from September 25, 1965 to April 20, 1969. It was produced by Al Brodax for King Features in New York. The animation was done by various studios including TVC of London, the same studio that later produced "Yellow Submarine", the Beatles feature-length cartoon. Three other animation studios were also involved in the series. They were Artransa in Australia, Cine-Centrum in Holland, and CanaWest in Vancouver, BC.
The voices of The Beatles were supplied by Paul Frees, an American who did the voices of John and George, and Lance Percival, an Englishman who did the voices of Paul and Ringo.
The sing-a-long segments were very limited animation pieces, which showed The Beatles, most of the time, in "mini adventures" while the song lyrics were shown on the screen below.
Executive Producer - Al Brodax, Associate Producer - Mary Ellen Stewart, Production Manager - Abe Goodman, Producer for TVC - George Dunning, Head of Production for TVC - John Coates.
