Production notes
Beatles sing-a-longs in this show: "Got To Get You Into My Life" and "Here, There And Everywhere."
The series came about through the efforts of producer Al Brodax at King Features after he was approached by an ABC executive with the idea of producing a Beatles cartoon. Famous toymaker A.C. Gilmer, who envisioned a merchandising goldmine, financed the series.
Animation was sent overseas (TVC of London, which produced the Beatles cult feature, Yellow Submarine, and Astransa, an Australian company, which did the bulk of the animation). Scripts were turned out rather easily, since episodes were based on popular Beatles songs.
