About DenniLu products and The Beatles Saturday Morning Cartoon series - These limited-edition cels depicting The Beatles, George, John, Paul, and Ringo, are inspired by The Beatles Saturday morning cartoon series. The show premiered on September 25th, 1965 on ABC television and ran until April 20th, 1969. In all, thirty-nine episodes of The Beatles cartoon were produced by Al Brodax and his King Features team.
As part of his effort to make the show more appealing to an American audience, Brodax decided to use well-regarded voice talent (Paul Frees for John and George, Lance Percival for Paul and Ringo), with the actors using simple British accents versus the Beatles' own Liverpudlian ones. UK audiences - and the Beatles - were unhappy with this fact, and so the series got very little airtime there, whereas in the U.S., the show proved to be VERY popular!
Each color used in the re-creation of this image has been screen-printed with exact precision, one color at a time, onto the cel. The lithographed background accompanying this cel has been printed on premium acid-free paper.
This work of art is from a general edition of 500 sericels. In addition, there are 50 "publisher's proofs" numbered PP 1/50 to PP 50/50 and 5 hors de commerce numbered, HC 1/5 to 5/5, bringing the total of all images to 555 pieces.
