In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan snicked into
John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced him to do an interview.
38 years later, Levitan, director Josh Raskin and
illustrators James Braithwaite and Alex Kurina have collaborated to
create an animated short film using the original interview recording as the soundtrack.
A spellbinding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit and
timeless message, I Met the Walrus was nominated for the 2008 Academy Award for Animated Short and won the 2009 Emmy for 'New Approaches' (making it the first film to win an Emmy on behalf of the internet).
