The Beatles (TV series) 1965-67 [39 Cartoon Episodes]

Post by twogurusindrag »

The Beatles, also referred to as The Beatles Cartoon, is a Saturday morning animated television series featuring representations of the popular English rock band of the same name. The series debuted on 25 September 1965, with new episodes airing until 21 October 1967. A total of 39 episodes were produced.

The series consisted of short animated stories intended to set up visual illustrations of Beatles songs. In addition, there were sing-along sequences with simpler imagery complementing the full lyrics of particular songs. The songs were taken from the albums up to Revolver as well as non-album singles up to "Strawberry Fields Forever"/"Penny Lane", the song "Bad Boy", the German-language song "Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand", and the Long Tall Sally EP.

This is just the cartoons in MKV. They look like VHS rips to me, but I didn't do it; I'm just guessing.

Oo ta!

The Beatles cartoons were my gateway into the band. Without them I might never have discovered the music for another ten years. And they may look stupid to adults, but I can testify personally that to a little kid they were terrific fun. A perfect way to get your kids into The Beatles.

Thanks for posting these. As a child, I would sit by the TV with my reel-to-reel tape recorder and tape the 4 songs from each show. It was a little strange when I later acquired the actual records, because I was accustomed to hearing the cartoon sound effects that had been included with the show! The cartoons were pretty silly, with American actors doing the Beatles' voices, but they used the real songs. No doubt they were the gateway to many young fans.
