- George Dunning, the director of the Beatles Yellow Submarine, and the rest at TVC made the science fiction short Moon Rock in 1970. While the style is certainly recognizable, the tone is vastly different from its predecessor.
After a countdown and blast-off, our faceless astronaut lands on what appears to be the Moon, where a series of psychedelic characters are there to greet him, including a Blue Meanie-reminiscent slug-thing requesting chocolate and jelly. Interspersed with real video footage, the surreal subjects and austere setting make "Moon Rock" a product of its time without being dated. The trippy ambient music is from Ron Geesin, who also co-composed the "Atom Heart Mother" suite with Pink Floyd.
Apparently Dunning based the narrative on the notion of "lateral thinking," a creative problem-solving concept from New Agey self-help consultant, Edward de Bono. For some frame of reference on de Bono, in 2000 he recommended sending Marmite to Israel and Palestine because he believed an unleavened bread-related zinc deficiency was exacerbating aggression in the region. Crazy? Sure, but it makes for darn good animation!

some how this just inspired me to do better in my life
It like if someone watched the Monty python animations, yellow submarine and fantastic planet, and decided to fuse them.
This predates Fantastic Planet. Maybe the creators of that film watched this...
If it’s made by the Yellow Submarine director, I already knew it was gonna be weird.
what did I just watch? this is brilliant.
Love the ending!
The song playing at 6:04 is a very slow playing of a piccolo solo entitled "N----r Fever" played by Frank S. Mazziotta. About 1902-1903
6:04-6:17 best part for me :) thanks for sharing.
Wow I've never seen any animated shorts like that before in my entire life. It's probably one of the most bizarre animated short films I've never seen before either.
It's the music that makes it for me
Brilliant, surreal, bonkers
PURE GENIUS.
I gotta stop drinking TANG in the morning!
its cool
It's like Terry Gilliam on acid. I love it.

Very random, disconnected nonsense. I feel like I've seen this work before. Maybe I know the creator 😮👽
Now that I am an old man, this is pretty boring stuff. It was much better in 1970 when I was in the right frame of mind for it.
Yup, just like Yellow Submarine: It's got interesting style and some mojo, but it's undermined by unattractive animation, dull gags and unforgivable pacing.
