The John Lennon Sketchbook(1986)

The John Lennon Sketchbook Synopsis

In 1986, seventeen years after Yoko Ono and John Lennon’s animated conversation about love and six years after the beloved Beatle’s assassination, Ono commissioned independent animator John Canemaker to create a short animated film based on Lennon’s drawings, music, and interviews. Given her penchant for the intersection of art and philosophy, Lennon’s own quirky illustrations, and the odd fact that the couple’s love began in visual poetry long before they met, it was the perfect medium for commemoration.

The John Lennon Sketchbook (1986) is a animation film directed by John Canemaker, released on April 10, 1986 with a runtime of 5m. It stars John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
