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 illustrators James Braithwaite and Alex Kurina 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 and won the 2009 Emmy for 'New Approaches' (making it the first film to win an Emmy on behalf of the internet).

@munazza007 baji aap kahan hain????? :'((((

[smellslikesundayy]

the song was written by lennon, son

[SlemKai69]

The man sure knows what he's talking about

[drorjs]

if it's peaceful it doesn't look or sound like a revolution. vaccinations revolutionized public health but there was no "KABOOM!" "SHABANG!" or anything. people just stopped dying of certain illnesses.

i never actually knew who the walrus was. in "Glass Onion" they say it's paul, and in lennon's song "God" he says that he was the walrus. it confuses me so much
