The Beatles Cartoon (more known as The Beatles Saturday Morning Cartoons) was an American animated TV series created by Al Brodax and based on the British Rock band of the same name. It ran from 1965 to 1969 (only 1965 to 1967 was first to run; later transmissions were reruns) with a total of 39 episodes, three seasons and 78 Singalongs. The series was a historical milestone as the first weekly television series to feature animated versions of real, living people.[1] This show was more known for its "So bad it's good" nature, fanbase, and lore on the website "Tumblr."
Description
After every episode, The Beatles cartoon usually had bumpers or skits (short bridges from commercial to feature) that had a storyline; Season 1 bumpers had five parts, but Season 2 and 3 bumpers were self-contained comedy sketches. These segments had a duration of 10, 20, or 30 seconds and were animated in Mexico City by Los Dibujos Animados.
The sketches frequently feature George and Ringo (mostly Ringo) trying a hobby or an adventure in which one of them ends up in trouble or lucky. Other sketches featured John and Paul getting into odd situations. In a few Season 1 skits, John or Paul help George and Ringo with a hobby or weird situation, while season 2-3 features Ringo and George (frequently George) in weird situations that always end in him getting injured.
Status
The Skits from season 1 are available incomplete with Japanese Audio, and 2 of them are lost, the skiing segment is the only complete skit. It is available on YouTube while season 2-3 Self-Contained Bumpers has partially found except for two ones available in Japanese Audio as well. It's unknown if there are more bumpers and self-contained available on bootleg DVDs. Currently, the YouTube Channel: ALEXBEATLE has partially uploaded three completed bumpers in Spanish and only one in English.
During mid-2018, the Youtube User ALEXBEATLE has been uploading the skits and sketches of the show on his channel, but some of it has the original English audio missing.
UPDATE: Around late January of 2021, all the season 1 skits in full english audio (Expect the fourth act of the Fishing skit) have been uploaded on Youtube by The Beatles Videos.
On September of Last Year, a Youtube channel named "Colorbrushful" uploaded on YouTube the Fortune Teller Skit from Season 2-3 in low quality.
