"The Beatles" (The Beatles Cartoon) is an animated television series featuring the English rock band of the same name that was originally broadcast in the United States on Saturday mornings, from 1965 to 1967 on ABC; with reruns airing until 1969. The series debuted on September 25, 1965 at 10:30 AM EST and ended with the third season airing at 12:00 PM EST and ending on October 21, 1967. The fourth season which aired on Sunday mornings at 9:30 AM EST from 1968 to 1969 consisted of reruns. There were 39 episodes produced and each episode was named after a Beatles song. The plot of each episode was based on the song lyrics, there were sing-along sequences, and the title song was played in the episode. The original series was rebroadcast in syndication by MTV in 1986 and 1987 and on The Disney Channel beginning in 1989 on Fridays at 5PM. "The Beatles" made history as it was the first weekly TV series to feature animated versions of living people.

"The Beatles" showcased the band in their early mop top (or as they called it the Arthur) and suit look, which was also depicted in the 1964 live-action film "A Hard Day's Night;" even though the band had moved beyond this attire during the cartoon series run. The band members were not involved with the production beyond the use of their music recordings. Veteran voice actor Paul Frees performed the roles of John Lennon, George Harrison, and Brain Epstein, along with other characters; while Lance Percival voiced Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. The female voices were provided by Julie Bennett and Carol Corbett. 

Each Beatles figure was a loose and somewhat exaggerated depiction, with John and Paul wearing a blue collar-less suit and tie and George and Ringo wearing navy blue turtlenecks and light blue blazer jackets. All of them wore matching blue drainpipe trousers and their signature Beatle Boots (the ankle high, black, and pointed toe boot that the group had made popular).

"King Features Syndicate, Inc." is an American content distribution and animation studio that was responsible for "The Beatles" cartoons. Most of the episodes of the series were produced by "Artransa Park Film Studios" in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia and by George Dunning's company "TVC Animation" located in London. A few of the episodes were made in Hollywood, CA.

This is a wonderful original hand painted production animation cel of Ringo Star from "The Beatles," 1965-67. A fantastic full figure image of Ring Starr carrying a drum stick and running. A great action oriented piece that would be a stand out for any Beatles and/or animation art collection!

"Girls! We shall sing "Golden Afternoon". That's about all of us." - The Red Rose

"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (commonly shortened to "Alice in Wonderland"), is a 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson who wrote under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. Disney reworked the story to fit with both a younger audience and a time frame suitable for an animated film (it's run time is only 75 minutes).

Kathryn Beaumont, who was born in London England, was just 10 years old when she was chosen for the voice of Alice. Walt Disney personally cast Beaumont after seeing her in the film "On an Island with You," in which the child actress had a small role. Disney was so impressed by her that she was also chosen to be the model for Alice, and would also go on to provide the voice for Wendy in "Peter Pan," 1953. Beaumont has also reprised her voice acting role as Alice in two episodes of the animated series, Disney's "House of Mouse," and as both Alice and Wendy in the video game "Kingdom Hearts." She did not retire as the voice of Alice and Wendy until 2005, when her role for these two characters was taken over by Hynden Walch.

While a shrunken Alice is chasing after the White Rabbit, she runs into a flower garden where she encounters a large group of beautiful flowers. Alice begins to talk with them and the flowers exclaim they can sing, and The Red Rose (the leader) says, "Girls! We shall sing "Golden Afternoon". That's about all of us." After the song, all the flowers try to figure out what kind of flower is Alice. When Alice replies that she isn't a flower, they determine that she must be a weed and change their attitude towards her; and they chase her out of their garden.

The Red Rose was voiced by Doris Lloyd (3 July 1896 – 21 May 1968) who was an English stage and screen actress. She appeared in over 150 films between 1925 and 1967, and her most famous film roles were in the "Tarzan" films starring Johnny Weissmuller. She also made small appearances in "Mary Poppins" and "The Sound of Music," which both starred Julie Andrews.

This is a very rare original production cel of The Red Rose from "Alice In Wonderland," 1951. She has a beautiful smile and her leaves form a multi-shaded green dress. A wonderful and perfect image for any animation art collection!

"I'll get you for this, Pan, if it's the last thing I do!" - Captain Hook

The author J. M. Barrie first used Peter Pan as a character in a section of the adult novel "The Little White Bird" in 1902. He returned to that character with his stage play entitled "Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up," which premiered in London on December 27, 1904. The play ran until 1913, and it was later adapted by Walt Disney for the animated feature film entitled, "Peter Pan," in 1953.

Captain Hook was initially designed by Milt Kahl animated by legendary Frank Thomas and Wolfgang Reitherman. Hook voiced by Hans Conried who was also the voice of George Darling, which is consistent with the roles of "Peter Pan" for the stage. Conried was a well known actor including roles on "I Love Lucy" where he played an English tutor as well as playing the character Wrongway Feldman on "Gilligan's Island." His voice was so distinctive and so memorable that he was perfect for the role of Captain Hook; as he had a wonderful way of conveying both the rough gruff pirate role as well and the sly calculating villain

From Disney animator Andreas Deja:
"Many of you would agree that Captain Hook is one of Frank Thomas' best creations. To some Frank is the best animator who ever lived. - He used live action reference for a number of his characters. In this case it was character actor Hans Conried who provided the voice and acting reference for Hook. Frank was very critical about the way other animators used live action. To him the acting ideas were all you needed, but you still had to pass judgement on the footage and interpret what the actor gave you. His animation never has that roto, floaty feel to it. For one thing Frank was way too talented and smart to let that happen."

Frank Thomas's first sketches of Captain Hook were much more menacing than the final product. Walt Disney felt the character was going to be too frightening for children and so Thomas toned down his drawings. The result is a wonderful character and certainly one the fan favorite male villains in the Walt Disney film world.

This outstanding hand painted animation production cel of a mouth and eyes open Captain Hook was created for a sequence drawn by Disney animator Wolfgang Reitherman, who animated Captain Hook throughout the Skull Rock sequence. The cel is from the scene at the end of Captain Hook's battle with Peter Pan inside of Skull Rock. The evil pirate is left dangling by his hook from the end of a rocky ledge, and Peter Pan says "Well, well, a codfish on a hook," and Captain Hook (who realizes he is dangling above his crocodile nemesis Tick-Tock) responds: "I'll get you for this, Pan, if it's the last thing I do!"
