Inspired by his father’s illustrations and produced by the team behind the Oscar-nominated ‘I Met the Walrus’ short, the artist’s Canvas animation shorts celebrate today’s release of the 50th anniversary edition of ‘John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.’
In support of today’s release of the 50th anniversary edition of John Lennon’s classic first solo album, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band – The Ultimate Collection, Sean Ono Lennon and the team behind the Emmy Award-winning, Oscar-nominated short, I Met the Walrus, have created a captivating and innovative series of short animation loops using the Spotify Canvas medium. Written and directed by Sean in collaboration with producer Jerry Levitan, illustrator James Braithwaite, and director of animation Josh Raskin, the series of short scenes, known as “I Am the Egbert,” tells the story of a character named Egbert, whose life experiences strangely mirror the sentiments in the sequence of the 11 album tracks (plus the non-album singles) that includes “Give Peace A Chance,” “Cold Turkey” and “Instant Karma! (We All Shine On).”
