I Met The Walrus

The other day a friend of mine showed me this animated short set to an interview of John Lennon and I have to say its the sickest thing I've seen in a long time.  Apparently a 14 year old kid snuck into Lennon's hotel room and was hit with some knowledge.  Here's a more in depth description and the video, check it out!

"In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit, and timeless message."
