Action figures based on The Beatles cartoon series
The Beatles is (among other things) an American animated television series featuring the fanciful and musical misadventures of the group. It ran from 1965 to 1969 on ABC in the US (only 1965 to 1967 was first run; later transmissions were reruns).
Produced in 1965, 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. Gilbert, who envisioned a merchandising goldmine, financed the series.
The series debuted on September 25, 1965 and ended on September 7, 1969. A total of 39 episodes were produced.
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 EST. 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.
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 and George Dunning’s company TVC Animation in London, with a handful of episodes made in Hollywood, with a crew supervised by veteran cartoon writer John W. Dunn.
The series was shown on Saturday mornings at 10:30 AM EST until the 1967 third season when it was moved to 12:00 PM EST.
For the fourth season, which consisted of reruns, the series was shown at 9:30 AM EST on Sunday mornings.
Each episode has a name of a Beatles song, so the story is based on its lyrics and it is also played at some time in the episode. 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 EST or 7 AM PST. Mark Hamill was a guest host of the MTV run of the series in 1987.
The series was a historical milestone as the first weekly television series to feature animated versions of real, living people. Here’s episode 1:
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 On series) did the voices of Paul and Ringo. Frees had been the voice of Boris Badenov in the Rocky and Bullwinkle series.
Frees recorded his voices in America, while Lance Percival recorded the voices of Paul and Ringo in England. He would later provide the voice of Old Fred in Yellow Submarine.
“It took about four weeks to animate each film and I enjoyed it immensely,” recalled Chris Cuddington, a series animator. “The characters were easy to draw, and the stories were simple and uncomplicated.”
Producer Al Brodax and director George Dunning were involved in the production both of the animated series and of the 1968 feature length animated movie, Yellow Submarine.
Following the first season’s success, Brodax considered producing four Beatles prime-time animated specials. But plans to produce them and several other musical-based cartoon series such as, animated versions of “Herman’s Hermits” and “Freddie and the Dreamers” were never fully materialized.
At first, The Beatles disliked the series. It is reported, however, that the band members enjoyed the cartoons in later years.
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. John Lennon also offered that the Beatles could redub the movie with their own voices, but the premiere was imminent, so there was no time for that. Too bad, as future home video releases of the film would have benefitted from the real voices of the Beatles.
When “Batman” premiered on ABC’s prime time lineup in January 1966, and became an instant hit, CBS decided to overhaul their Saturday morning lineup. CBS were to focus on superheros, “Frankenstein Jr. and The Impossibles”, “Space Ghost”, “Superman”, “Mighty Mouse” and “The Mighty Heroes.”
“Space Ghost” was slotted opposite the Beatles, and while the ratings for the Beatles were reasonable, at 7.7 a 36% share, “Space Ghost” was hot, at 9.66 a 44% share. Despite the fact that new episodes were made for the Beatles series, it was obvious that a trend had been set.
ABC’s Sunday morning clearance rate was very low. The Beatles last telecast was Sunday, September 7, 1969. Regarding the cancellation of the Beatles show, Fred Silverman (then of CBS) told TV Guide, “Kids get tired of shows quickly. They would rather watch new shows than repeats of old ones.”
The series didn’t have its debut on British television until 1980 when they featured on early morning TV on Granada. It wasn’t until 1988 that the full series was featured on British television on ITV’s Night Network magazine show. It has been reported that the Beatles themselves blocked the screening of the series on British television. However, according to John Coates, the head of TVC London and later production manager on Yellow Submarine, after hearing the voices of The Beatles it was Brian Epstein who forbade the cartoons from being shown on British television.
Some of the Beatles cartoon episodes you can find on YouTube are dubbed in Spanish. Thanks to our reader Winslow Leach, who informed us that these Spanish voices were recorded in México, dubbed by famous Mexican actors. We know that Ringo and George were dubbed by Jorge Arvizu, who also dubbed a lot of the Hanna Barbera cartoons.
Initially, the open 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.

In 1972, John Lennon commented, “I still get a blast out of watching the Beatles cartoons on TV.” In 1999, George 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.”
Contrary to the Harrison quote above, there has been some speculations that the Beatles’ company, Apple Corps Ltd, bought the rights to the series, because Harrison wanted to keep it in their vaults, so that it would’t ever be aired again.
It’s certainly true that they bought the series, and they have never released it commercially as long as they have owned it. Only images of the cartoon characters have been licenced for use on various products, including toy figures, t-shirts and coffee mugs. However, with the explosion of internet based video sites like YouTube, the Beatles cartoon series are now as accessible as never before.
The cartoon series continue to be the only music video version made of several of the songs, which may make them useable in an upcoming Beatles music video collection.
In 1999, Mitchell Axelrod wrote a book about the Beatles cartoon series, and he also recently (2014) penned an article on the subject in the current magazine “Beatlemania! Life Story”
Beatlemania! On newsstands now.
With the Beatles Cartoon series still unavailable on official DVDs, bootleggers are eagerly exploiting the series for their illegal releases
Beatles fans are divided in their opinions about the Beatles cartoon series. In general, fans who were exposed to the series at an early age, be it in the sixties or watching later reruns, are fond of it for nostalgic reasons. As most of these fans are Americans, most Europeans are not as enamoured.
From an animation point of view, the series are flawed because of the era in which they were made. Like The Flintstones series, the Beatles series use very basic drawings and crude animation techniques with much emphasis on mouth and leg movements, sounds and other things that are easily and quickly accomplished. The best cartoons were made in the pre television years, from the thirties and forties, when bigger staffs produced more detailed and better drawings, not to mention more drawings per second of film. Once the fifties came along, quality dropped considerably. With the advent of computer animation techniques, a rise in quality has occurred.

I hope Apple releases it. It will be a fun show for the whole family and since Apple owns it they may as well make money off it. They released the jackson 5 cartoon so there is a market for this type of stuff. Beatles and animation fans would enjoy it. Sure there are some unfortunate moments involving stereotypes and bits that can be seen as racist but that stuff exists on ild Disney and Warner Brother cartoons that get released and re-released all the time. Just include in the special features some talkimg head or someone involved pointing out that these weren't the views of the Beatles, just an unfortunate sign of the times.
But anyway a deluxe package with all the episodes digitally cleaned up would be a welcome addition to my collection and I know some fans would say "THIS before let it be or shea?" to which I say we all know those will come out sooner rather than later, so why can't we have this as well?

I remember the entire Beatles cartoon series being shown in the mornings on Granada Television in the late 70s/early 80s (Granada was the pioneering TV station that covered the Manchester and Liverpool regions). I remember the (cartoon) Fabs being chased down a staircase or fire escape. Great fun!

"For the fourth season, which consisted of reruns, the series was shown at 9:30 AM EST on Sunday mornings."
THANK YOU! I was 4 years old at the time, and I knew I watched this on Sundays, but I never had any evidence that one of my earliest memories was correct until today.
February 19, 2014 at 3:45 am
Thanks for this article, Roger. I found out about the Beatles through this cartoon when I was 8. "And Your Bird Can Sing" still makes me smile to this day because hearing it meant "third season episode."

The series didn't have its debut on British television until 1980 when they featured on early morning TV on Granada. It wasn't until 1988 that the full series was featured on British television on ITV's Night Network magazine show.

Hi Roger!, the Spanish versions were recorded in México dubbed by famous mexican actors, for example:
Ringo and George were dubbed by: Jorge Arvizu (he also made a lot of Hanna Barbera cartoons).
So the series were transmited in the 70s on a mexican channel.

I once 'owned' an original 1" (or was it 2") of a documentary of the making of the series – the Australian component – still in its original box from ABC-TV. You don't want to hear the story of how it got lost…:(
November 14, 2018 at 11:04 am
Oh my god! This is fantastic! I didn’t even know about it. I would definitely want my kids and nephews to watch the series because all of us were big fans of their music. My brother still comes over and watch shows by Andrew Yeatman with my kids. The weekends are always fun.
