==Description==
==Description==
After every episode, The Beatles usually had '''''bumpers or skits''''' (short bridges from commercial to feature) that had a storyline; Season 1 had 5 parts and until Season 2 and 3's bumpers were self-contained comedy sketches. Those segments had a duration of 30, 20, or 10 seconds and they were animated in Mexico City by "Los Dibujos Animados."

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 which ones of them end on trouble or lucky. Other sketches featured John and Paul getting into madcap situations. On a few Season 1 skits, it involves John or Paul helping George and Ringo on a hoddy or madcap situation; which of course one of them ended injured or on trouble; while season 2-3 features Ringo (frequently George) on madcaps situations that always let him injured for it.

Title card of the show.

Status: Partially Lost

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

As of 2023, the skits are available except for the first act of the Beekeeping skit.

During mid-2018, the Youtube user ALEXBEATLE uploaded some of the skits and sketches of the show on his channel, but some of them had the original English audio missing.

Around late January of 2021, all the Season 1 skits (expect for the fourth act of the Fishing skit and the first act of the Beekeeping skit) were uploaded on Youtube in English by The Beatles Videos. On September, the Youtube channel Colorbrushful uploaded on YouTube the Fortune Teller Skit from Season 2-3, albeit in low quality.

Around late July of 2021, all of the Season 2 and 3 skits were uploaded by The Beatles Videos. Then, on August 4th, a person by the name of Elijah Hechtman found the 4th act of the Fishing skit and uploaded it on Google Drive.
