ANIMATORS/FACTS |
|---|
A total of 78 episodes with sing-a-longs were produced in four separate locations around the world by numerous animators, background and layout artists, writers and directors. DenniLu Company has the priviledge
to feature a few of the original animators and the creator/designer of the Beatle cartoon caricatures themselves. These talented animators, who also directed several of the episodes, are signing some of our limited edition sericels and hand-painted cels! |
| In September
1965, King Feature's producer, Al Brodax with the financial assistance
of toymaker/sponsor A.C. Gilbert produced the Saturday morning cartoon
series that aired on ABC TV at 10:30am. It broke new historical ground
being the very first weekly series to feature animated versions of real
people. The half-hour show brought us two episodes and two sing-a-longs complete with Beatle lyrics to shout out between cereal bites. The Beatles cartoon voices were not the Beatles. They were dubbed by two voice actors, Paul Frees (John and George) and Lance Percival (Paul and Ringo). In the fall of 1968, the series was moved to Sunday mornings. It remained until its final broadcast on September 25th, 1969. |
