I Met the Walrus

In 1969, 14-year-old Beatle fanatic Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon's hotel room and convinced him to do an interview. Thirty eight years later this animated short film using the original interview recording as the soundtrack won the 2009 Emmy for 'New Approaches.' For more of Lennon's vision, see the official video of Imagine.
