It’s amazing how sometimes you take a few minute break to watch a video and two hours later you re-emerge wondering where exactly you’ve been.

Such was my morning. Not even sure how I ended up here but came across the above Beatles cartoon of Penny Lane. It’s part of a collection from 1965 – 1967 that saw 37 half-hour shows produced for British television. Each segment of the show was named after the song it featured. For old school animation fans it’s well worth the time spent.

Supposedly, MTV ran the series in 1986-1987. Unfortunately, I grew up in the boonies and we didn’t have hi-tech gadgetry like cable television so I’m seeing it now for the first time.

Better late than never. This Taxman/Robin Hood one’s pretty fab too:

Enjoy.
