I Met the Walrus is an animated film directed by Josh Raskin (known for his musical project Kids & Explosions) and produced by Jerry Levitan. The film stars Levitan and John Lennon. The film's pen illustration is by James Braithwaite and computer illustration is by Alex Kurina.

The film is based on an interview of John Lennon by Jerry Levitan in 1969. Levitan, then 14 years old, tracked Lennon to his hotel room at Toronto's King Edward Hotel after hearing a rumour that Lennon had been sighted at the Toronto Airport. Jerry made his way into John Lennon's suite and persuaded John to agree to an interview. The animation is based on Levitan's 30 minute recording of the interview, which was edited down to 5 minutes.

The film was created in 2006-2007, produced by Jerry Levitan and supported by a grant from Bravo!FACT. The film premiered March 22, 2007 at This is London, a Toronto nightclub. Since then, the film has appeared at numerous film festivals around the world. The film has won many awards including a 2009 Daytime Emmy in the New Approaches, Daytime Entertainment category, Best Animated Short awards for the American Film Institute and the Middle East International Film Festival. The film was nominated for an Oscar by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. It was also included in the Animation Show of Shows. It was selected to be one of 25 YouTube videos to be part of the first Guggenheim Museum/YouTube Play "A Biennial of Creative Video".

I Met The Walrus has since been adapted as a book, authored by Jerry Levitan and published by Harper Collins.

Ce sont les Beatles eux-mêmes qui racontent leur histoire à l'aide des nombreuses images tournées durant leur carrière, et parfois de leurs propres archives audiovisuelles. Neil Aspinall, George Martin et Derek Taylor interviennent aussi dans cette série dont la fabrication a pris cinq années. En 2003, cette série est publiée dans un coffret de cinq DVD. Dans le DVD bonus, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr et George Harrison jouent ensemble quelques titres de leurs débuts dans la propriété de ce dernier, au milieu des années 1990. On les surnommera pour le coup les Threetles. Ils se réunissent également avec George Martin dans les studios Abbey Road, devant la table de mixage, pour décortiquer ensemble des titres comme Tomorrow Never Knows ou Golden Slumbers.

The program consists mostly of "film promos" around the song selection, interspersed with occasional slices of Lennon and Ono's life together, and also fantasy and "gag" sequences. In one of these, a succession of men (ranging from Lennon and Ono's assistants to celebrities including Fred Astaire, Jack Palance, Dick Cavett, and even George Harrison) escort Ono over and over through a doorway; in another, John and Yoko lose each other on the Tittenhurst grounds, and go looking.
