I Met The Walrus (2007) ***

An inventive cartoon based on an interview of John Lennon by Jerry Levitan in 1969. Levitan, then 14 years old, tracked Lennon to his hotel room in Toronto. The animation is based on Levitan's recording of the interview, which was edited down to 5 minutes. Josh Raskin's focus was on the interview itself: "I just wanted to literally animate the words, unfurling in the way I imagined they would appear inside the head of a baffled 14-year-old boy interviewing his idol". Directed by Josh Raskin and produced by Jerry Levitan, the film was nominated for an Oscar.
