Uploaded on Jun 17, 2008

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).

    I don't agree, know why? Because there's a different between today's music & today's mainstream music. BIG DIFFERENCE. I listen to a ton of music that is constantly being put out, and it's great, each and every single song.

    If you think the only music being produced these days is the stuff that is on radio & television, I feel bad for you.

    It's funny how this video is about peace and love, yet the top comments are hate towards 14 year old kids in today's society. Doesn't matter if you were born in 1955 or 1998, your age doesn't determine who you should be or what you should be like. Take it from just another average "14 year old kid".

    Well, actually this video should be titled "I Met The Egg Man" because there was a lyric in... Glass Onion I think, "Here's a clue for you all: The Walrus was Paul". Yep

    I'm struck by the disconnect between Lennon's vacuous musings about peace, war, non-violence, music and the bits at the end where we hear about the keys to the big box, the white jacket that he wore last night and the Smothers Brothers getting on the tonight show. Don't get me wrong I liked Lennon as a musician, song writer, singer, what have you but basically he was a kid from Liverpool who hustled his way to the top in show business and that was he real expertise.

    I love that they ever so subtly labeled Canada "nothing"

    HOW BOUT YOU STOP TROLLING AND LISTEN TO THE WISE WORDS OF MR. LENNON?

    That's genius! It's a short film, as well as a piece of important musical history.

    Not at all, I mean, we both know you're wrong, so what you're trying to accomplish, I don't understand.
