Beatles Cartoon STEREO - I Am the Walrus
HTML-код

- Unlike older stereo versions of this song, AND the 2009 remastered "Magical Mystery Tour" CD, this does NOT revert to rechanneled fake stereo after the second verse.
From...2008 (new!). A routine day's drive takes a bizarre turn into a strange realm of eggmen, space-walruses, and uncertain identity!
I never missed The Beatles cartoon in 67/68. Groovy stuff. Pre Yellow Sub imagery and great new songs for us fab fans.
It obviously wasn't Peter Max.
Anything associated with the Beatles, you can bet it will be popular. More teenagers then little children would watch this. The mop tops were the kings of music. And still are.
I love the way the Fabs are still mop tops in 1967! Great.
They didn’t want to scare kids with Beatles who let their faces grow long
Am I the only one who saw the vajayjay at the line… let your knickers down?
NO, you are not.
Its pink for a frame or two before it changes to white, at which point your brain recontextualises it as a light bulb. But it’s unquestionable what it seems to be at first. That cannot possibly NOT be deliberate. Dirty fuckers.
I was waiting for that line to see if they even included it. I’m surprised they even kept it in rather than editing it out. Maybe American audiences didn’t realise “knickers” were exactly the same thing as “panties” in 1968.
But I certainly didn’t expect THAT!
No, it's there alright.
I thought it was a light bulb
Taking the form of a filament in a light bulb. How devious.
Thanks! :) They actually MADE the 'Eleanor Rigby' cartoon in '67 (as well as other "Revolver" songs and the 1967 songs "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields"), and THAT was the last year they made the cartoons. After that those animators were busy creating the "Yellow Submarine" movie!
Thanks. I was wondering precisely that. The story, according to George Martin’s book “All You Need Is [sic] Ears”, is that the Beatles had to be pushed kicking and screaming into contributing anything at all to the “Yellow Submarine” full-length cartoon because they were still fuming about the weekly cartoon show.
Yes it did. I used to watch these during their first run in the mid 60s.
Me too! This is why I always looked forward to the weekend. As a 13 yr old, no matter what else I did over the weekend HAD TO include The Beatles Cartoons.
@@rogerscalf231 I watched sporadically for a while when I was nine (as it turns out-it feels as if I were younger). I liked it okay, but I don’t remember particularly looking forward to it; it just sort of came on. I was certainly much more interested in the songs than in the stories or the cartoons. Somehow I implicitly assumed that the series had ended when I stopped seeing it. I would have guessed one season, not three, and I would guessed that season to have been the 1964 season. (Wrong on all counts.)
I came to see this song in their cartoon but stayed because of this GREAT stereo separation that brings everything out clearer
This is the wonderful remaster done for the MMT blu ray release in 2012.
This is a great job making it like one of the old cartoons!.
More or less the same with me with me, with a few exceptions: I came because I was curious about the cartoon. It didn’t much hold my interest for long, but I would stayed for the duration anyway unless I absolutely hated it. I found myself really, really enjoying the recording even though I thought I already knew it like the back of my hand, but I didn’t analyze the reason. I’m dubious that it’s just separation, though. Artificial separation is usually contraindicated. The instruments need to blend together, and they need to seem as if they inhabit the same acoustical space. Remixes are usually disastrous, and one of the reasons they’re usually disastrous is that they tend to ignore this obvious aesthetic rule.
this is BRILLIANT. the beatles will forever be the best band in history.
Yess it tis brill...but YELLOW SUB was even more brill...by 10x.
I love the how the intro works with the song.
one of my favourite songs... great!
I remember watching the Beatles cartoon as a kid, but I don't remember this! Too cute😍 !
Excellent. Absolutely excellent. Alan, you had me fooled. I'm watching this wondering "how are they going to deal with 'yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye'?" because I knew these cartoons were on a child level. Then I see the knickers down and thought "What? Wait a minute! Did I see what I thought I saw?" but of course I didn't pause and rewind because after all this is I am the Walrus. Excellent job, superb. Lip-synched and all. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I remember these cartoons when I was growing up. I still like them. Thanks for your hard labor.
…on the chain gang.
Me too. Loved watching this every Saturday morning.
Enjoying this YEARS later
Shivers down your spine
Years? How about well over half a century?
It was nice to have this cartoon put together with a very brief snippet of “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” from “Yellow Submarine.”Al Brodax and George Dunning had worked together and did both the animated television series and the film “Yellow Submarine.”…Nothing is Real!!!…Karlido🇬🇧🎼🇬🇧🎼🇬🇧🎼
Nothing is real...everything is an ALLUSION! 😉
@@alanr4447a I’ll second that!!!…Karl ido🇬🇧🎼🎹🎸🎤🎨
Too bad the Beatles didn't do their voices. Then this cartoon would have been special.
It is special though
@WilliamBurns-lf1mg THE BEATLES and the jackson5 did not "play" themselves, and they didn't " voice" their parts. There is a difference.
I just noticed on Boy you've been a naughty girl you've let your knickers down there's a drawing of a woman's ass
They wouldn't have had the time.
Then we wouldn't have Paul Frees as John and George, he of Rankin-Bass fame.
Probably the BEST Beatles cartoon clip...I love how awesome and ridiculous this series was, and the actual Beatles didn't even have anything to do with it.
1: The butt/light bulb directly shot during the "pulled your knickers down" lyric, followed by Paul scratching his head like he doesn't get it...those filthy animators!
2: Ringo looking stoned as hell drumming (I was too stoned to remember)
3: The harem girls dancing to the "pornographic priestess" lyric
4. The Egg King dude
I can’t believe they actually portrayed that “knickers down” lyric, especially back in the day - they got away with one, probably because they claimed it was just a light bulb (I didn’t see it that way myself, but after you mentioned it in your post I understood what was going on there…).

I am pretty sure this video was made just recently using clips from the original cartoon and several other clips from many other sources.
@@donaldburnet6948 - 1) why do you think that? 2) the show ran from 1965-67, according to online sources - but I Am The Walrus was released in November of 1967, which would seem to validate your theory, since the production of the show would have been finished by that time already (unless they had a very short production cycle, conception-to-final-print). 3) do you think any of the shots we see here were created by someone recently? Like the “light bulb” shot?
@@jim3150 He's right. There is a short snippet included of the Lucy in Sky with Diamonds sequence from the Yellow Submarine film that would be premiered the following year, in July 1968. This clip was (cleverly) put together from other episodes of the cartoon series as well as other sources. Also, there are visible differences in film quality in the other sources.
@@crapple009 - thanks for the validation and explanation. It had me fooled for sure, even though I pegged the song as being too late for the show to have incorporated it, even as I watched this video. That’s what made me look up the release date of Walrus. I guess you can’t trust clickbait anymore, can you?? :)
I WATCHED THESE AS A KID AND STILL WATCH THEM AS A ADULT!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊💖💖💖💖
A mashed-up tribute to The Beatles ~ our favorite band of all time and space ~ with a little crazy spice mixed in!
That was totally tops! Thanks for the effort of putting it together, I really appreciated it! Everything works perfectly.
Remember watching as a young Ladd....Saturday mornings. 67,68
Yes, me 2.
When did you change your name?
@@jeffburns4219 ????
This is all very well put together!
+MichaelsShortFilms Thanks! :D
I love how this video is as long as an episode, really well done!!
An evocative video for s song that already has a video in Magical Mystery Tour!
And it has a light bulb the other lacks! ;)
Brilliant! You did a wonderful job editing that together!
Best sounding version of this, my favorite ever (Beatles) song! Thank you very much.
You're welcome!
Teniendo estas animaciones The Beatles debieron hacer varios videos oficiales con ese material
Cuando MTV tuvo los derechos para transmitir la serie animada de los Beatles en 1986, usaron la sequencia de Twist and shout de uno de los episodios y la hicieron un video (la canción había vuelto a ser popular ese año en Estados Unidos gracias a Ferris Bueller's Day Off)
I remember watching the cartoon show on Saturday mornings
with my little battery operated reel to reel tape recorder taping the
songs so that I couyld ;learn the words and sing them later.!!!
alanr... you are the eggman indeed... thanks for sharing this witty and clever adaptation... your affection for the Beatle era shines through clearly.
Palladio8469 Thanks, Palladio! :D
This is very clever and well done.
Not sure but I think the latest song they actually did on the show was "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields" and it was funny how they hinted at the drug influences showing the Beatles "flying high" but still wearing their bowl haircuts and suits.
Love the bare bottom posing as a light bulb at 2:33 !
John's vocals still give me chills. Probably the best rock vocalist of the 60's.
you know its amazing these cartoons almost cover the band's entire career.......great one.....
Loved this "Saturday Superstars" cartoon back in the sixties! Thanks alan4447a!
this is video is awsome!!! very well done!!! Thank you!!! :D
The Beatles♥
I was around 6 when this was on TV but I remember watching it with my brothers, we loved it. It's hard to believe they didn't censor the line "Pornographic priestess boy you've been a naughty girl you let your knickers down". My step brother was 10 years older than me and bought all The Beatles records as they were released.
I love this song. :) It makes me giggle. Thank you very much for uploading this! :D This cartoon makes me happy when I'm down. ^^
I remember watching the Beatles cartoons in the 70's it was wild thank you
Wow! This is amazing! Thanks for sharing it! ♥
You made this? I couldn't even tell! Job well done! You fooled a huge Beatles fan!
This is fujucking brilliant!!! LOVE IT!!!
I used to watch the animated series as a 5-6 year old. I loved it. It was like the radio on tv for me. The Beatles sound and the animation was quite sensational to me then and now and the tv series was a way for me to access my favorite group. In my mind the animated series was almost real life, like Batman or a western.
Ja da isses ja, das Walross. Der Beatles Cartoon - tolle Unterhaltung für Kinder und Erwachsene !
Great work! Took me a while to notice this isn't from the 60's.
That took some time. Well done! I had a splendid time.
I remember these growing up. Thought they sucked. But then again I was way too young to be on drugs to really appreciate it. 😵💫
Nice Job...I laughed at how you interpreted the 'knickers down' shot.
DarkMsStress Thanks! :D
I totally fell for it. I was stunned...then the light bulb went on.
It was stiL special..
had u been alive then & watching as a kid in the 60's on a Saturday morning.😊
The music was their voices..that's all that mattered !
0.40 George don´t have nose
I used to watch repeats of these in the '70s on a saturday morning as a young child. That's probably where i got my love of the Beatles from. But I Am The Walrus, 1 of my all time favourite songs now, would have freaked me out a bit then.
Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come
That's why I waited until you were ready for it to create this mash-up episode! 😄
@@alanr4447a Well done Alan 👏 thanks. I've subscibed coz of this. 👍
what episode is that at 0:50?
"Tell Me What You See". I have posted that episode (largely because people were asking the same question you asked), but as of now it remains blocked. Last year they apparently decided to allow access to any of the episodes I posted that could help them promote the new issues of the 'Red' and 'Blue' albums, but no others. Still, being blocked is way better than an outright 'copyright strike', so I thank them for that!
😂 fake!😂
This is The first time too se this and The Beatles are The Best
I Am The Walrus and Its All Too Much are really break through songs that are really kinda forgotten. VERY creative for the times. I remember when they came out, we were all confused, but as we continued to listen, we got the picture.
This is the most psychodelician, strange and awesome song, what I ever heard. And it`s happier than "The End".
A masterful job of editing. I loved it.
I can't remember when I listened to that song for the last time, maybe 10 years ago; maybe more. I've forgot how great it sounded like...
Aw, thanks! :) The live radio feed mix was an obstacle for a long time, but blame the DVD release of the Beatles "Anthology" for finally getting around it!
awesomw, for a while i actually thought this was a new one!! excellent job!
I’m going to a symphonic Beatles tribute oct 12 and this 1 of the songs I expect to hear . That string arrangement! Wow
OMG! Amazing editing job. Seeing the Beatles in their Pierre Cardin suits singing "I Am the Walrus." what a sight!!
this song is great, and you did an amazing job on this cartoon.
7 in ‘67 as soon as I heard the intro time stopped I don’t think I even blinked. To see the guys you heard on the radio then see em on Saturday morning cartoons; that’s just the way it was meant to be
I remembering religiously watching this cartoon sat morning with all the sat a m cartoons. I never realized they didn't do their own voices then da huh . Music is the real deal. Very cool nostalgic
I watched this on Saturday mornings. I think of it now and then. Love it.
Holy cow. Did anybody catch the graphic when John sings, "boy you've been a naughty girl you let your knickers down"?
I used to watch these cartoons as a kid and I never knew that they made one for I Am The Walrus. Thanks for adding this.
They didn't. The last ones they did were for "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane". This is a fan creation.
I love how John's evolved into a London toff
Awesome!
This cartoon managed to successfully capture the surrealness of the song.
Love this song
nice-i loved these as a kid-loved the 'knickers down' shot!!!
Fantastic video!
Simply first rate.
Thank you for your considerable efforts!
Nice compilation! It's really great that you thought of doing this! Thanks! btw, 0:39 is my favorite episode!
the best beatles song ever long live the beayles
i love these old cartoons
Bear in mind that production and animation work on cartoon episodes had to be completed well in advance of the airdate, and the Beatles themselves didn't finish creating "I Am the Walrus" until September 29, the night of the radio broadcast of "King Lear" -- so there was scarcely time to produce a cartoon episode based on it (not that the list of episodes includes this song anyway!).
Great song! Great cartoon use to watch this as a kid.
You did a great job of putting all the clips together and matching it with the music. Amusing and entertaining!
Cartoon was good. Never heard this song all the way through. Cool!
I can imagine some guy back when this first aired sitting in front of a TV on a Saturday morning with a head full of acid finding all kinds of deep hidden messages in the imagery of this song! LOL!
Oh yeah Saturday morning cartoons childhood memories I love it.
I love watching these cartoons
I was surprised that the sounds breaks at 2:02 !
This is the first time to listen to this version.
Thanks !
This is AWESOME! A most excellent job!
Never knew this even existed...thanks for posting!
Nice job with the mixing/matching cartoon choreography! I always loved this song.
Thank you! :D (I was mightily impressed with your own "Jetsons/Jump Jive & Wail"! But enough of this festive banter...)
Yeah, the "I Want to Hold Your Hand" episode has the octopus. (Or is it "Eight Arms to Hold You"? ;) ) I've considered using it for "Octopus's Garden" -- the major hurdle is that, it's Ringo's song, as you know, and the old episode has NO shots of Ringo singing! That's not to say I've TOTALLY given up on it...
Wow, this was great! I've always passed this one because the song is bizarre no matter how you slice it. But I was bored and decided to take a look. I'm so glad I did. You did a terrific job. The lads are gonna have to stop taking those peaceful drives. Seems they always end up anything but peaceful.
Inspires me to go work on my own fanvid.
There are two phrases that are sung: "oompah, oompah, stick it up your jumper" starts here at 4:15, and "Everybody's got one.." comes in at 4:21.
John Lennon Was truly one of a kind... a real individual... always on the cutting edge... i dont think there is anyone quite like him... people have tried to market themselvs like him, but they just dont cut it
Thanks! :) (You realize that this ONE is not being seen "again"...)
No.
But this is a very awesome take on what could've been an actual cartoon had the producers made it. Good job.
Clearly fan-made, but a wonderfully done fan video. I'm glad I stumbled across this.
I really like this! Did you put this one together? if you did, where did you find some of that amazing imagery that so matches the song? And what Beatles cartoon did the first part come from? I used to hate this song because I didn't understand it. Now I understand that there is nothing to be "understood" about the song because like a nursery rhyme it is mostly meant to be nonsensical. Once I stopped trying to make sense out of it and accepted the song for what it is I fell in love with it!
i can’t believe some of the things they’d flash for a split second in these beatles vids! i didn’t notice the lightbulb when i was a kid! lol
in the one for tomorrow never knows there is a quick view of an aztec style drawing of an animal with an erection… never saw that one as a kid either!
That was amazing! At first I was like aw no a clip show?! But then I was like OH you made this one! Good job lol the lightbulb was hilarious
1:09 i love how their voices immediately switch from very bad british accents to the actual beatles its kinda funny
Very well put together!
I love this song!
It ran from 1965 to 1969. It was never officially released onto VHS or DVD, but copies are circulating if you know where to look...
I used to watch this every morning before school in 1st grade on the local UHF station.
