I Met The Walrus

[MrVincaldo]

O.K. i am european but that thing with canada and nothing really upset me.

[axeman1973]

pure fucodian

[earlkegga]

Lovely stuff........

[chicagolegend]

WOW! What did Yoko do to John? It's like Paul once said to John on the phone... stop acting like someone you aren't. This isn't him.

[myfajahas400children]

i like how canada is nothing, lol

CANADIANS RULE!

[Na8ters]

@myfajahas400children HAHA I was just wondering the same thing!!

[TheMalificus]

I have to say that this was truly amazing, the direction, the art work and the animation. well done!

[czaarr]

incredible!

[jakashton]

"non violence" i love that bit so much... he hits the nail on the head! Stop this nonsense at the anti capitalist protests which are violent, people can get hurt, lets show them we are bigger than they are. Lets THINK our way into the future and make a better world using logic and reason... if you use violence, this good righteous cause will be lost behind a sea of destruction and tragedy instead of it being brought to the worlds attention where it belongs, lets all make the right choice!

[Stardustdragon]

US vs John Lennon is a documentary in depth about that ,him being a danger?? come on really..they really tried to deport him and Yoko seriously! see how intelligent he is embarassing isnt it that someone could think he was a threat?

how? for speaking his mind, or getting other people to think? notice he actually talked to the kid he was an opportunist and he didnt care if it was a kid he had a message to get out and he did it just like that..no press release but he talks to a 14 yr old!

[vokshumana]

Sooner or later, abnormalcy will start conflict with normalcy, it is inevitable.

[jakashton]

Truely amazing :) well done, i hope many people see this and are inspired, listening to the words of a very wise man :)

[sezyeap]

Incredible!

[playairways]

read me daily

[andabottleofbread]

amazing.

Yoko was quiet lol

[kyle2point]

whens the next john lennon goin to come along man, we need one. we're all in such an ignorant, bland, mindless age. and i don't think that it's going to happen for long, something always happens. every reaction has an oppisite reaction. the 60's was full of war, then it was full of hippys. and they werent just lazy stoner hippys, it was inpiring, they awakened themselves to love again, but we've yet again gave them a bad name again, the stoner wasters. fuck.. wake me up when someones here.

[idiotsloveboxes]

@kyle2point  never

[MarioxETF]

@kyle2point i think he/she is here. maybe a bit young but i think that person is somewhere amongst us and i think in a few years, quicker than we expect actually, that person will have the stage set for them and at that time it will be their responsibility to act.

[dragontika]

Lol.

Great job to whoever did the art for this.

Loved it.

[Mintsauce27]

I wanna KILL that little bastard!!

Im just joking - i dont really - message sunk in

[Snooten]

Beautiful

[vokshumana]

Marlon Brando was watched by secret police. Charlie Chaplin was. John Lennon was.

[nowaytoinvent]

Beautiful!so intense and thick of meanings.the words, the graphics.I love it.

[Shadow1059]

everything he says is so right

[andantinowithaswager]

i love this video. the animation is great.

[ahjijoles]

great illustrated animation!!!!

[Brushnumber1]

Not enough people bothering to "LOOK Long Enough"....

[mikiemike1234]

the animation in this is brilliant.

[Beatnuk]

If you look long enough, all the answers are there.

[PETEM4]

fitting honor to one great pea from the peace pod....

[EvanCrofton]

pretty sweet, but what was with labelling Canada as "Nothing".

[someoneatMHS]

Ha! I thought of the same thing.

[hippiepeace4]

In Glass Onion they say that to confuse people. But John was actually the walrus.

[tigrepants]

I really impressed how John respected this boy's questions and gave such thoughtful answers. Notice how he LISTENS before he answers. If only the talking heads on TV today would learn that lesson.

[AMAQATB]

best thing i've ever seen. so interesting. how old was he when he did it? what year was it? really cool animation

[mrleechie]

i thought dan was the walrus!!!! great one!!!!

[choice101]

this is one of the best things ive ever seen on you tube. love it !

[kingkungfoot]

great vid, brilliant animation

[hippiepeace4]

The movie is called I Met the Walrus because the Beatles made a song called I Am the Walrus. John Lennon was the walrus. That's why it's called that.

[jdw1066]

i thought paul was the walrus (glass onion)

[assirlac]

jdw1066,

Paul put on the walrus costume on the album cover of magical mystery tour. this supported the theory at that time that he was dead. Thats why john said 'the walrus was paul' in the song glass onion. it was just to confuse, but john is the walrus.

[catbird007]

"a Profound Whatever"

[annaxandxmarina]

what does this has to do with walruses?!

[Naaraih]

the whole film is an interview with john lennon of the beatles. look it up, it's not hard.

[DannyGelato]

Ignorant girl...

[roflcopters123]

you have GOT to be kidding me...

[bendutta2008]

This is cool, but how is it a "short film"? Just seems more like a montage.

[IDLERACER]

Fantabulous, but there is one missed opportunity here. at 3:15, somebody should've drawn a goofy caricature of the Bee Gees circa 1969.

[froxsh]

this film's a jewel on youtube! i really like the look and ideas.

[kaitles22]

i don't think i met the walrus is legally aloud to be on youtube..

I LOVE IT THOUGH!

[willpistola]

the oscars are not worthy of this!

[zackwolk]

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! this is fantastic.

[vision4wisdom]

I needed that, peace.

[Na8ters]

wow this video is fantastic bes on youbube

[purplefrf]

Fantastic animation, fantastic message from John Lennon. I'm glad this video has gotten so much critical acclaim.

[hkuchta]

ahhh...last words PEACE

[andantinowithaswager]

john's last words were peace?

[hkuchta]

in this vid, yeh but not his last words ever. although, it would've been nice, then again, he'd probably still be alive if he wasnt shot, so it would've been nice if he wasn't shot :/

[andantinowithaswager]

im convinced that if he was still alive there would be world peace.

[hkuchta]

i wish he was :)

[andantinowithaswager]

everyone does. (i hope)

[hkuchta]

apart from mark chapman he still thinks he did the right thing :( what a weirdo.

[andantinowithaswager]

i hope they free him so he'll be shot.

[hkuchta]

ahaha that would actually happen! probably one of the reasons they wont let him out, it would start a riot!

[andantinowithaswager]

i saw a picture of him and he's really fat.

[hkuchta]

yeh, he makes my angry :(

[andantinowithaswager]

he was mentally ill. for a while he thought he was lennon.

[hkuchta]

yeah i know. omg it is horrible :(

isnt that why he shot him, because he thought john had stoled his identity?

[andantinowithaswager]

maybe. something was definitely wrong with him. i wish john was alive.

[chimychimychonga]

we'd certainly be closer. the same with MLK and JFK and RFK, etc.

[Neltron]

Brilliant.

[Deadjob23]

I was gonna say that! Very deep while at the same time simple. R.I.P Lennon.

[zizizzi]

Amazing...

John is still deeply missed :(

[nameofthepen]

Amazing video. Thanks JiffySpook for posting, Mike for sharing.

RIP John. You are still ahead of your time.

[1966BOBBY]

What a beautiful film/audio. Lennon was so open and willing to talk to anyone: A great artist and a messenger of peace. -The animation is lovely on this - thanks nom for the share, thanks Jiffyspook for the art.

[miketheday]

[n1rv4g1rl]

[slumby]

LOVE the animation in this.

LOVE to hear John, too ... but the animation is what really makes this.

[nocomunication]

[ilovedexter15]

They showed Canada as "Nothing." Man, I'M Canadian man... lol

O well.. great film anyways, John Lennon is a hero to me.

[futarack]

[BagofSunshine1001]

this was awesome man *favourites*

[chrisk79]

Wow wow wow...Favorite thing I've seen in a long while. Thanks for posting.

[JELLOFACTORY]

I still can't believe Jerry Levitan was only 14 when he interviewed John Lennon...

[wovenbeats]

your celebrating 28 years after it

must be some sort of fascination...kind of like chapman...

[10HeyJude10]

this is an amazing short film-it really speaks out about peace.

john lennon is amazing-he really wanted peace. I <3 the beatles!!!!

[RATTLEY67]

If the goverment didn't kill John Lennon it was a great Christmas present Love and peace [still]

[PumaWhale]

[sunnypie2]

That kid had guts and did a great interview, especially for his age.

[sparkplugboy]

Thanks. Amazing.

[MeanMrMustard94]

ya "the walrus was paul" plus thats a good book

[jayaoh]

but "the walrus was paul", not john?

[HelloHolaCiao]

Thing is, Lennon said the Walrus was Paul..... either way, it's still fantastic. But, lol, why was Biggie Smalls in the Special Thanks Credit?

[icedtea1996]

well he sang i am the walrus, regardless what else he said.

[duckman32001]

Can anyone explain why the title is "I Met the Walrus"?

[kingkonut]

Coz of the Beatle's track 'I am the Walrus' what was sung by john lennon innit

[duckman32001]

thanks dude!

[lunarul]

Anyone noticed that they wrote NOTHING on Canada at 4:16?

[duckman32001]

yea me too.... I love this short..... but that part.... is kinda insulting.

[lunarul]

actually, being made in Canada, I think is intended as self-irony

[duckman32001]

oh, in that case... uhh... hooray?

[MajorKater]

yea i was totally thinking that... then i realized he asked about montreal and stuff - dont thik it was meant to be harsh

[OhSoSwingin60s]

4:24 made me laugh

[sunnypie2]

"profound whatever" lol

[OhSoSwingin60s]

I can't believe this didn't win!

[kmtzn]

[villain333]

[mistershinobi]

Believe me, even if this short is like "WOW!!" amazing, "Peter and the Wolf" is simply fantastic. Both shorts deserved the award.
