The series consisted of short animated stories that essentially were intended to set up the visual illustration of Beatles songs that were played in their entirety. In addition, there were sing along sequences with simpler imagery complementing the full lyrics of particular songs.
The series became notorious for its static depiction of the band in their early “moptop-and-suit” look as depicted in the live action film, A Hard Day’s Night, even though the band moved beyond it during the series’ run. The producers did attempt to acknowledge the band members’ contemporary appearances with photographs of them in the series’ title sequences during its production run.
The band members themselves had nothing to do with the series’ production beyond the use of their music recordings. American actor Paul Frees did the voices of John and George while Lance Percival (of the Carry Onseries) did the voices of Paul and Ringo. Frees had been the voice of Boris Badenov in the Rocky and Bullwinkleseries. At first, the Beatles disliked the series.[4] It is reported, however, that the band members enjoyed the cartoons in later years.[5] Their views of the cartoon series discouraged them from participating significantly in the later animated feature film, Yellow Submarine. Only when the band saw and were impressed by the Yellow Submarine‘s finished footage did they realize the film was a more ambitious creation. As a result, they agreed to appear in a short live action epilogue for it. In fact, Yellow Submarine producer Al Brodax and director George Dunning were involved in the production both of the animated series and of Yellow Submarine.
Initially, the opening credits theme was a guitar riff from “A Hard Day’s Night” segueing into “Can’t Buy Me Love“, over a cartoon sequence of the group running down a fire escape, echoing a scene in A Hard Day’s Night. The second season’s opening theme was “Help!“, while the third season’s theme was “And Your Bird Can Sing“, over a different cartoon sequence.
Although uncredited, Dennis Marks, along with Jack Mendelsohn, Heywood Kling and Bruce Howard, wrote all 39 episodes of The Beatles series.
Most of the episodes of the series were produced by Artransa Park Studios in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia[7]and George Dunning’s company TVC Animation in London,[8] with a handful of episodes made in Hollywood,[5] with a crew supervised by veteran cartoon writer John W. Dunn.
The series was an instant ratings hit on ABC in the Saturday morning time slot after it debuted on September 25, 1965 at 10:30 AM ET.[1] It racked up a 13 score (or 52 share), then unheard of in daytime television. The series was sponsored by the A. C. Gilbert Company, the Quaker Oats Company and the Mars Candy Company.[1] For the third season in 1967, the series was moved to Saturdays at noon. For the fourth season, the series was moved to 9:30 AM EST on Sunday mornings.
Originally, the Beatles disliked the cartoon; however, as time went on they grew to like it. In 1972, Lennon commented, “I still get a blast out of watching the Beatles cartoons on TV.” In 1999, Harrison said, “I always kind of liked [the cartoons]. They were so bad or silly that they were good, if you know what I mean, and I think the passage of time might make them more fun now.”[8]
The series was syndicated worldwide on television and cable after the original run ended in 1969. In 1986 and 1987, new generations were introduced to the series when it was rebroadcast in syndication by MTV and also by the Disney Channel. On MTV, the series was shown on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 10 AM ET or 7 AM PT. On The Disney Channel, the series was shown on Fridays at 5 PM beginning in 1989. Mark Hamill was a guest host of the MTV run of the series in 1987.

Roll fast Ramblers logo
Motion graphics made in Adobe Flash ( Animate) and Adobe After Effects.
I did a google image search on “lined notebook paper” found an image I thought would work. I copied it and traced it in Adobe Photoshop.
I drew a box around two lines then applied STROKE with a dark blue line. Then duplicated it down the page.
I got the Rollfast Ramblers logo off their website. I copied and pasted it into Adobe Flash ( Animate).
It took several hours. When I exported it in .swf I noticed a few “skips” I always see that when I export from Flash. I may have to re edit it in Flash.
I added the .swf on top of the notebook paper jpeg in a really big comp in After Effects. Then I added THAT comp into a 1920 by 1080 comp and moved the position.

This got great reviews, Oscar Buzz…… I just didn’t get what was great about it.
OMFG that movie was terrible! The life of sub white trash who live in a motel on the outskirts of Floridas Disneyworld. A hundred or so unrelated boring scenes of a scuzzy trailer trash hooker / stripper her dirty 6 year old brat and other dirtbags that float around the edges of this toilet.
NO plot until the very end….. could have maybe made an OK short film. I had to fight the urge to walk out at the first hour.
The symbolism of the millionaires helicopters buzzing past the poor people… OK we get it. We got it the first 3 times.
Little to no character development, endless redundant scenes of 3 brats getting into increasingly cringeworthy trouble…
It could have / should have been cut down to a 20 or 30 minute short film.

Seldom have I walked out of a preview screening. But after enduring one hour of screeching, unsupervised children, dripping obscenities as casually as they dripped ill-gotten ice cream, unsupervised by adults who were as misbehaved and irresponsible as they were, I mercifully exited the theater.
This film neither amused me, nor held my attention. I kept thinking of the times I was on a flight in which the cabin had a child or two who were constantly crying, or kicking the back of my seat, only this viewing experience was worse, because I was expecting better.
In the row to my right was a morbidly obese gentleman with a backpack on the seat next to him filled with chips and other snacks that he dipped into regularly, taking time between bites to laugh uncontrollable at the obscenity laden dialogue, as other members of the audience got up to leave in twos and threes.
This was worse than going to a restaurant and selecting something from the menu that I was sure would give me indigestion.
I go to films, not primarily to be entertained, but for the impact of drama that consists of conflicts and their eventual resolutions, that also reflect and reveal truths about myself, and the world in which I live.
Maybe I left too soon to experience any resolution of conflict, but this so-called “drama” meandered aimlessly for a full 60 minutes, while I wished that I could look out the window at the passing clouds on that imaginary flight at 35,000 feet, and order a double Jack Daniels.
I started the evening in a good mood, on a full stomach, with high hopes, and left hungry, but relieved to be out in the fresh night air.
I did briefly enjoy the fantasy created and alluded to by the lush, saturated colors with references to the Magic Kingdom, but other than that, I could not find anything to like about this very painful experience.
I may be in the minority, and perhaps this was too rarefied a creative effort for me to fully appreciate, but life is too short, and my instincts told me that I made the right decision to exit early.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Most annoying movie, period. Don’t waste your money! I had to watch it for a class.
It’s about a girl and her friends continuously causing trouble for their neighbors and maintenance guy. And somehow they get a way everrry single time. No lessons are learned. But I blame the mother of the girl, who’s a bad influence and can’t seem to change. Yet it ends somehow in an ideal candy-wrapped fashion. Nothing gained, nothing achieved.
The characters themselves have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Moreover, this movie has no heart, just a flat story line, not much plot, bad acting (except Willem Dafoe), weak dialogue, and just emptiness.
The cinematography is also kinda messy: a lot of tracking shots from behind and awkward framing. (I get it’s supposed to be voyeuristic look but come on, this is a visual medium, man. At least make it somewhat decent). Also, the sound design isn’t that smooth. Very noisy and rocky.
There was Q&A with the director, cinematographer and actors after the movie. The director apparently strove to capture the feeling of childhood (and also because -fun fact- he liked the Little Rascals). I’m sorry man, but this movie fails to deliver.

Other than Willem Dafoe who lends solid credibility to this thing, it is almost unwatchable. I’m actually surprised children can work on a movie and be verbally assaulted and sworn at incessantly at the workplace. Even at the end of the movie when there could have been a moment of breakthrough to justify the rest of this random event, well, that too was missed. There is nothing redeeming about this unless you want to be assaulted without any insight. Simply offensive. Think about Ken Loach and what tremendous heart he would deliver with the same actors and setting.

General Public: This movie has no storyline. This movie literally made no sense. I might not be a professional movie critic but speaking from a logical perspective, this is a movie not worth wasting your time watching
The movie’s focus is on the girl and her mother. The girls role is seriously exaggerated, no kid of that age speaks or acts like that. Her style of humour is NOT funny to begin with and the movie producers made sure to milk it! She certainly know’s how to act so the blame is not on her.
Quality over quantity, a popular saying that certainly is not applicable here. A lot of random scenes that attribute no value to the movie. Cant emphasize that enough – what on earth was the point of the old paedophile scene? Or the random helicopters coming and going? Or the random guy who helped the Motel manager move the fridge/freezer?
The mother’s acting was OK, a representation of a lower class American individual. An adult making irresponsible decisions, yes, we’ve never seen that in a movie before.
1 Good thing though is the shooting of the movie, some nice shots here and there. Very colourful, not worth watching this movie for though. Nothing out of the ordinary.
My honest and genuine advice as a regular guy who enjoys good movies: this is NOT worth watching.

I’ve walked out on two movies that I can remember. This was one of them. At this stage in my life I simply refuse to sit through a movie that has no worthwhile characters and doesn’t even try to tell a story. I lasted 45 minutes before giving up. It’s about a bunch of bratty kids who keep getting into trouble, and their parents who, not surprisingly, don’t know how to set an example. Willem Dafoe is the only watchable character and he’s not given enough to do to make him worth watching. Nothing original here. No heart. I suggest people skip this one.
