Old Things That Are New to Me — Beatles Cartoon Series

In my never ending love for The Beatles, I’m always scouring for new little clips and such I’ve never seen… such as these from the old Beatles cartoon series. I’ve only seen snippets of this series but thanks to the endless treasure trove that is YouTube, I found most of them.

The voices are comically bad compared to The Beatles’ actual voices (sort of bad mix of British cockney accent and Boo Boo from Yogi the Bear cartoons… if not the Beatles-esque vultures from Disney’s The Jungle Book), and the plots make no sense except to set up a song, but otherwise pretty funny. Yay.

*UPDATE: So according to wikipedia, a voice actor named Paul Frees did the voice work for the John and George in the animated series.

Among other things, Frees lent his talents to Disney films such as the Shaggy Dog, The Absent-Minded Professor, Boris from Rocky & Bullwinkle, Ape from George of the Jungle and SO much more.
